Configure, implement, and invigorate MS Project Portfolio Management core functionalities – and make it stick.
All About the People
We’ve seen it time and time again: adoption is key. You can get all the functionality in the world, but if your PPM isn’t successfully integrating into your culture, with your people, you’ll miss out on getting returns on your (rather large) investments.
Microsoft is the largest PPM player in the United States, but there are only around 50 certified partners who can help with implementation and adoption. We are part of that elite group, and our crack team of consultants has seen it all. Our clients have come from across the spectrum, from the early stages on the cusp of implementation to needing help seeing why their implementation attempts are not going as planned.
As rare Microsoft Silver Partners, we know implementing this powerful PPM can be a beast. We know how to make it work – and most importantly, make it stick.
