About Intraprise
Intraprise TechKnowlogies is a non-traditional CPA firm focused on business transformation and holistic risk management. Running 20–30 consulting projects at once, the firm needed a way to coordinate complex work across multiple methodologies and clients — without losing visibility or control.
The challenge: rigid, or too technical
Traditional project tools forced a choice: waterfall systems were too rigid, while agile platforms were too technical for consulting workflows. Managing status through email and spreadsheets led to fragmented visibility, inconsistent cadence, and excessive overhead.
We weren't looking for a faster way to manage projects. We were looking for a smarter way to deliver results.
— Donny Shimamoto, Managing Director
The solution: one system
The turning point came with DevStride's Item Hierarchies, which established clear relationships between projects, deliverables, and dependencies — eliminating the need for manual workarounds.
Using workstreams, automations, and forms, Intraprise unified proposals, change orders, PTO, and capacity planning into one system, creating consistent accountability and predictability.
The results
DevStride helps the firm anticipate issues, make better decisions, and deliver under budget. With DevStride, Intraprise has:
- Visibility across 20–30 concurrent projects
- Reduced PM workload and email traffic
- Predictable cadence through automation
- A consolidated system replacing legacy tools
The takeaway: effectiveness over efficiency
DevStride gives Intraprise the infrastructure to manage hybrid methodologies at scale — combining the rigor of PMBOK with the agility of modern workflows. The result: fewer silos, faster insight, and a single operating system for transformation.
Effectiveness is the new efficiency — and DevStride makes it measurable.
