We implement enterprise project management solutions in accordance with the Microsoft Enterprise Implementation Framework (EIF). The EIF provides a structured technique and guidelines for configuring Microsoft Project Professional and Microsoft Project Server according to the needs of a particular organization. Further, our project team (comprised of both technical and project management experts) has continuously improved upon this framework and its supporting documents through lessons learned sessions which we conduct at the end of every engagement. The implementation plan and documentation we deliver is a combination of the EIF framework and our project team's proven approach to implementing Microsoft Project 2002, 2003 and 2007 enterprise solutions.

Our solution process supports industry standard project management principles and practices. If necessary, we can customize our methodology to more closely align with the customer's project management policies and procedures. We configure the enterprise tools to support and enforce the customer's methodology and business processes. We create and implement enterprise project templates to reflect the customer's project workflow. And we customize our training materials to the customer's implementation. We provide training in the customer's environment so that we can step through an actual project lifecycle. In this way, the customer's administrators and project managers can become familiar with the tools, custom methodology, custom templates, and custom business rules simultaneously.

During our customer EPM implementations, we use this EPM platform to communicate project status and collaborate on tasks, issues and risks with customer stakeholders so they gain immediate experience using the solution we are also implementing for them!
