HAVERTOWN, Pa. --(Business Wire)-- April 20, 2004 --
-- PM Solutions' Project Management Services Help Enhance SAP's Management of Global Projects, Assuring Project Success Rates and Consistency in Delivery
PM Solutions today announced that it has teamed with SAP AG, the world's leading provider of business software solutions, to provide comprehensive services for global Enterprise Project Management (EPM). PM Solutions is providing SAP with project management services including global and regional project management office (PMO) establishment and deployment; project management methodology enhancement and integration with SAP's existing ASAP methodology; global project management maturity and knowledge assessments; and a unique evaluation process that provides metrics for measuring project management improvement initiatives.
Working closely with SAP, PM Solutions is conducting project management maturity benchmark assessments at SAP subsidiaries in North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. PM Solutions is also collaborating with SAP to integrate these maturity findings and develop an even more effective global project management maturity plan, implement the improvement initiatives, and measure SAP's maturity advancement. For SAP, this process is a natural evolution in the growth of their project management maturity.
Using PM Solutions' web-enabled project management methodology, the Project Management Community of Practice (PMCOP(SM)), PM Solutions and SAP Consulting have enhanced SAP's Consulting Project Management Methodology. Together, the companies have addressed all types of projects, and have helped enable SAP Consulting to streamline enterprise-wide project management procedures and enhance communication and knowledge among project teams worldwide.
At the heart of SAP's project management initiative is the establishment of Regional PMOs across several different SAP subsidiaries located in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, North America, Latin America, Asia Pacific, and Japan. The Regional PMOs deliver consistent project results to its customers around the world, while allowing for flexibility in supporting the specific business needs within each geographic region. As a result, SAP is able to increase overall project efficiency and assure project success rates. The Regional PMOs are supported by a Global PMO, that provides standard project management practices including process and methodology, delivers expertise through mentoring, and supports the training and career development of SAP's project managers around the world.
With a substantial investment in project management maturity initiatives, SAP Consulting has also enlisted PM Solutions to identify and help implement meaningful metrics for measuring progress towards project management maturity and capability. These metrics track the value of project management and provide tangible measures to SAP's executive leadership team.
"Working with SAP globally and supporting a strategic, enterprise-wide initiative of this magnitude demands that PM Solutions deliver the broad depth of our project management expertise," said Bruce Miller, PMP, vice president, consulting and business development for PM Solutions. "We are helping SAP implement a total solution that focuses on all aspects of project management, including culture, organization, people, and repeatable processes. SAP's commitment to the continuation of a comprehensive project management approach will help them ensure the highest quality and consistency in implementing its business software solution successfully to clients worldwide."
