Let’s talk about Tabsters!

Tabsters Solutions it’s a French startup, located in Paris: we were created in 2017 by our founder and CEO, Mr. Laurent Bourny.

Until this, nothing extraordinary – just one of a million of startups that are created each year, you may think. For sure, but there is a little thing, that makes a difference – it’s a passion, lot of passion, that followed this creation from 2017! So, let’s have a deeper look on what exactly happened.

Why have I mentioned the passion previously? Oh, yes, it all was about the history of an idea, the idea that determines Tabsters. I will give to you a keyword – simplicity – it’s this one that resumes the following Tabsters idea:

• to make the complex things – simple,
• the time-consuming things- easy and automatized,
• the brought added value- maximal!

It’s quite nice, ambitious objectives, but still where is a passion? It’s underlaying all these objectives, let me show you.

Before Tabsters creation, Laurent have acquired some work experience in financial and defense industries, working on several transversal projects and portfolios, that required a lot of skills and hardworking to provide the attended result. Some of those tasks were highly time consuming, while they have brought the minimum of the added value to the overall work. That is exactly the moment when the passion is entered into the game. Being skilled in the programming and IT engineering, while dealing with some problematics in the transversal portfolio management, Laurent has decided to bring those skills together and to create Tabsters Solutions!

What Tabsters solution exactly is?

So, here we are – Tabsters Solution is a complex product, it’s not only the tool or application, but a full-scaled solution, including Tabsters project and portfolio management, cloud-based tool, that comes with a support and accompanying from our team. You can tell me here – ok, but others do exactly the same! But let me do not agree with you at this time.

While others are selling the licenses with after-sale support or, sometimes, it’s a paid option, Tabsters propose to you the licenses that includes support, and moreover the option to have the accompanying of the change management and onboarding of your teams into the tool, same as the benchmark of the way the other clients use the solution and manage their projects/portfolios.

At the beginning, the solution existed in form of an Excel add-on, featured with multiple project management tools for data consolidation and analysis. For the reporting purposes, the solution was linked to Power Point for creation of the automatized reporting in few clicks. During the 2019 we have progressively developed the SaaS version, with some important upgrades and new functionalities required by our clients. Need to be mentioned that Tabsters Solutions is a co-developed product, new features and updates are decided with our clients. Core features and functionalities remains same for all, but we do some specific developments for the clients to fit their needs in the best way possible.

Well, if you have followed me until this part, you have a clear vision of the idea, the realization, and the further evolution of Tabsters till now. But you may ask – Good, but I know several other tools like this – you are not the only one! Yes, you are right, there are a lot of other tools on the market, starting by the task and team-management tools, and having other well-known professional tools, like MsProject, Jira, etc.
