Enterprise Project & Portfolio Management (EPM)

Depending upon your project and portfolio management needs, you can either use a stand-alone project management application or deploy one or more server based technologies that form a proper Enterprise Project Management (EPM) solution.

A robust EPM solution may include several offerings designed to help meet your specific business and project management needs. The fundamental question is if you need a single user version for individual contributors or if you need a server-based solution that facilitates multiple users to work in concert with one another, using common data.

EPM Solution

For a number of years, H2M has relied on the Microsoft Office Enterprise Project Management (EPM) Solution in conjunction with Microsoft SharePoint to help organizations work together to more efficiently complete projects and manage IT assets. Far and away the market share leader in project management software, we have found that adoption rates are much higher and change management issues have been greatly reduced by allowing project managers to continue working with the tools with which they are most familiar. With a proper implementation, organizations can have more control over projects, centralized resources, automated processes, improved team collaboration, and extremely robust executive reporting.

An appropriate candidate for an EPM Solution typically has a need to:

• Communicate and collaborate with project team members and stakeholders over the Web.
• Standardize project management processes across the organization.
• Understand resource workload and availability across all projects throughout the organization.
• Report across all projects in the organization and roll-up scorecard reports.

A well designed EPM solution enables organizations to manage their project portfolio effectively, establish standards and best practices, centrally manage resources based on skills and availability, and enable effective communication and collaboration within project teams. An extensible, enterprise-scale architecture should enable effective integration with other line-of-business (LOB) systems as well as other desktop applications.
