Services

The implementation of an Enterprise Project Portfolio Management System is a big organisational challenge for all companies. Some typical tasks that must be executed are:

  • mapping of the given project landscape unto applicable data structures and creation of standards
  • definition of user groups and related processes as well as respective EPPM system configurations
  • creation of management reports
  • interface development for data exchange with related it systems
  • establishing of an organisational unit that is responsible for system administration and data quality
  • training and support of project managers and users
  • operational handover of the EPPM-system to IT.

Our services are essentially targeted to providing knowledge about how to successfully proceed within the project as well as how to best approach the various tasks as mentioned above. They can be roughly divided into three major areas.

Implementation

This is all about how to manage the project "Implementation of an EPPM system". We help to establish a suitable project organisation and an appropriate management approach. Also, we take over an active role within the project team and in a series of workshops we develop together with the core stakeholders all the EPPM structures, configurations and processes. At this point we also make sure that all the concepts and methodologies are fully consistent with the recommendations given by the software suppliers.

Training

In the early stages of implementation project team members need to be gradually trained on the EPPM software in order to ensure efficient cooperation and communication. For this purpose we offer standardised trainings that provide basic as well as advanced product knowledge. In later stages of the project when the system is handed over to the users it is more efficient and cost effective to create as well as provide custom-tailored and process-specific trainings together with the major stakeholders.

Technical Support

As part of the technical support we make sure that at every stage of the implementation all the technical prerequisites are provided as needed to capture structures and data. By closely cooperating with the IT responsibles the EPPM system is installed and optionally interfaces with other IT systems are developped.
