Esri Sweden selects Cinode for skills and resource planning

Esri Sweden, Sweden’s leading provider of GIS software and part of Esri’s global business network, has selected Cinode as its platform for skills management and resource planning. By bringing skills inventory, CV management and utilization overview together in one tool, Esri Sweden is laying the foundation for a more transparent and scalable delivery organization.

As the Swedish distributor of ArcGIS, the world’s leading platform for geographic information systems, Esri Sweden holds deep specialist expertise in GIS for sectors such as public administration, defense, energy, environment and property and infrastructure management. It is precisely that expertise that will now become more visible and accessible across the organization.

The decision to choose Cinode was driven by the need to ensure the right skills are placed on the right projects at the right time, to raise utilization and to give employees and management a shared and current view of resources and skills gaps.

“We needed a better way to see what we know, who is available and how we are using our capacity. With Cinode we can leave Excel behind and get an overview in real time. At its core this is about delivering better, to our customers and to each other,” says Erna Jöngren, Head of the Project Office at Esri Sweden.

The broad product portfolio and an extensive network of both customers and partners make skills visibility and matching a strategic issue for the entire business. Especially central are Esri Sweden’s long term and close customer relationships, where high demands on quality, continuity and development over time drive the need for more proactive skills management.

“We have a large and varied portfolio and a broad base of customers and partners. Proactively identifying skills gaps and matching the right person to the right assignment is critical. That is where Cinode creates real value over the long term,” says Erna Jöngren.

As part of the implementation, Cinode has also been integrated with the ERP system Maconomy, creating a connected flow from time reporting to resource planning and project follow up.

“We are proud that Esri Sweden has chosen Cinode and that together we have built an integration with Maconomy. This is exactly the kind of customer we are built for, an organization with deep and varied expertise that quickly needs to answer the question of who knows what and who is available,” says Johan Haeger, Sales Executive at Cinode.

Cinode is the leading SaaS platform for consulting firms in the Nordics, with over 90,000 users, and is used by companies such as Rejlers, Consid and HiQ.
