Portfolio Project Management (PPM)
Enterprise Project management (EPM)

PPM / EPM service enables you to improve the efficiency of your business and make the most efficient use of your resources and finances.

Many organizations that strive for greater product and process innovation have adopted PPM/EPM tools as a vital component to help them focus on, and succeed with, the projects that yield the best business outcome.

Demanding market conditions have forced organizations to change and adapt. Changes undertaken to adapt to today's dynamic business environment will not only benefit the organization's profitability and survival, but also facilitate an improvement in revenue, growth and profitability.

Projects are the catalyst of change but they often go over budget, over time, and are delivered to a lower level of quality. Without a PPM/EPM tool in use, organizations will continue to rely entirely on human input and as such tracking, reporting and managing through spreadsheets, emails and faxes will eventually cost companies valuable time and money. Information is unreliable as reports are out of date and the information they contain has already changed by the time they are produced.

Today, PPM/EPM has evolved to become a vital project management tool for organizations that aim to achieve successful delivery. The development of enterprise project management tools and techniques over the past ten years allows us to manage multiple projects in any organization effectively. It allows us to successfully deliver business change and, together with process improvement work through CMMI^®, to improve our business efficiency.

PPM/EPM is business reporting without the need for specialist hardware and third party software. It:

• Allows involvement at all levels of an organization from anywhere in the world.
• Is an evolutionary not revolutionary approach to project management.
• Allows management by exception.
• Establishes control and organization in a turbulent and ever changing environment.
