Company | AngelVision Technologies

AngelVision Technologies, based in Portland, OR, is one of the nation’s fastest growing advertising and marketing agencies. AngelVision recently won the 2006 Innotech Innovation of the Year Award for its rapid growth, numerous client success stories, and holistic approach to management.

Foresight | Why We Chose @task

AngelVision had to double its capacity every six months to keep up with 400% annual growth. AngelVision’s current projects quickly grew to over 100 and the 25-person organization was determined not to let quality suffer. However, the company’s project management process and spreadsheet tools limited how many projects they could manage effectively.

AngelVision needed a solution that could help them grow without increasing overhead. After painstakingly evaluating more than 20 project management solutions, AngelVision selected @task.

@task is exactly what we needed,” added Mike “Jingo” Jingozian, Founder and CEO. “@task’s notification feature helps to truly keep people accountable and projects moving. @task has made us dramatically more successful, as well as shorten our production time. This means that our clients see the final product–and we get paid–faster. All I care about is giving my customers the best experience possible, and @task really helps make this happen.”

Hindsight | Why @task was the Right Choice

“In the first 10 months of 2005, we completed 100 Impact Movies,” said Jingo. “In the last two months of the year, with @task, we completed 50. Production time went from five months to three months.

”AngelVision also noticed that it was able to accomplish its goal of adding more projects without adding overhead. According to Jingo, “We currently have more than 250 movies at some stage in production. By using @task, each project manager can manage 90 projects concurrently without sacrificing one-on-one attention. This is quite amazing, and in the few months we’ve been using the software, we already noticed an increase in repeat sales. More of our customers are coming back because they know that we can quickly provide high quality marketing tools that drive sales.”

Jingo continued, “The program is laid-out very well. Although it’s very powerful, the screens are simple to follow. It’s also highly customizable. I’m a productivity nut, and I needed a system that I could modify to fit my needs. We evaluated as many systems as we could find. @Task was the only system that met our needs. In addition, AtTask is passionate about project management, and the company has great people to work with.”
