Your success in implementing a Project Management Information System (PMIS) hinges on your ability to align strategic needs with the readiness of your staff surrounding existing processes and technology. Innovative-e has developed a tried-and-true methodology to ensure your projects get off on the right track from the beginning. Innovative-e’s assessment and roadmap is designed for department and enterprise clients with a high level of technology, organizational complexity, and specific business scenarios, providing you with the structure you need to kick off your PMIS with confidence.
The assessment is the first step, as it identifies an organization’s higher priority needs and pain points and demonstrates how SharePoint and/or Project Server can address those specific needs. The roadmap outlines how to implement and roll out a plan to address the needs identified in the assessment. The roadmap is not a full requirements and design exercise, but is an overview enabling Innovative-e to provide you a level of effort/cost estimate with a greater degree of confidence.
The Innovative-e team is the best I’ve seen when it comes to understanding our business and modeling in our various business processes
