Project Portfolio Management
IMS has teamed up with key project portfolio management related software development companies to provide implementation and integration services. Our in-house staff has deep experience in a broad base of PPM software tools. IMS possesses the knowledge and expertise to help you succeed with your implementation project.
IMS will work with your project team to implement best-of-class project management tools and processes according to your organization's needs, and will assist you in achieving your objectives in implementing an enterprise project management system.
IMS utilizes a comprehensive implementation strategy that follows a structured project management approach. IMS's proven strategy addresses the issues of software integration, as well as the complexity of implementation, and accelerates your organization's adoption of project management tools and processes.
IMS's strategy focuses on four major areas:
- Readiness Assessment
- Process Development
- Design, Prototype, Pilot, and Rollout
- PPM Tool Training
The services do not stop there. IMS provides ongoing support to enable clients to rapidly adapt as needs change and project complexity increases.
Readiness Assessment: A key consideration when implementing PM Software is how seamlessly the new application will tie into the existing business practices. This is identified when a team of IMS Senior Consultants conducts an initial "Needs Analysis". During this phase, IMS will work with your team to develop deliverables such as the Project Charter, determine and document your organizational readiness, and develop an Implementation Plan, which will be used as a road map for your implementation.
Process Development: In addition to the core PM Software implementation, IMS can provide generic processes for your PM Software that are based upon recognized industry standards and best practices. IMS can also assist your team to tailor these processes to your organization's specific needs.
Design, Prototype, Pilot & Rollout: During the initial stages of the implementation, IMS will work with your team to establish appropriate software environments, provide training to the core team and develop a design document that will serve as the basis for your implementation. As the implementation progresses, IMS will define, establish and test a prototype installation, identify and train a pilot team and provide mentoring to the pilot team on their 'live' data. With the successful completion of the Pilot, IMS will work with your team to configure and document the production environment and provide rollout training and mentoring on the PM Software.
PM Tool Training: IMS's team of certified trainers are available to provide world-class instruction on IMS's entire portfolio of PM Software. Further, IMS will work with your team to develop customized training programs that fit your business models as well as provide training and mentoring support.
