Microsoft Office Project 2003 Consulting Services
Microsoft Office Project Enterprise Project Partner

CMD Corporation has developed a full array of consulting and training services to support organizations at different stages of Microsoft Office Project 2003 EPM deployment. Microsoft's EPM solution has changed the way project teams work, managers manage and PMO's function in an organization. We understand that many organizations are still debating about the benefits and cultural fit of this technology. The biggest challenge is not technology implementation - technology and software work. The biggest challenge is ensuring that the organization is ready to accept this change. We help organizations implement the technology, understand what the technology can provide, what is needed to get ready, and what should be their realistic expectations.

We have developed a process, not just for implementing Microsoft Project 2003 EPM, but a process that builds upon incremental successes and wraps process and project management principles around deployment tasks. Our consultants can help you through the entire spectrum of Project 2003 services: from technology evaluation to implementation to roll-out to on-going consulting support.

We invite you to ask us for a demonstration of the Microsoft Project EPM technology. You will find a refreshing new way to look at this technology and see how it can be successfully implemented, accepted by the stakeholders and accelerate your organizations' journey toward project management maturity and continuous and lasting process improvement.

EPM Deployment

Project 2003 EPM Deployment

We can provide you the entire spectrum of services necessary for implementing and rolling out the Microsoft Office Project 2003 EPM solution. This includes installation, pilot projects, PM templates, training and department to enterprise rollout. Our approach in this area is simple: we define small achievable milestone within the framework of full deployment. Our focus is on success at every step. We ensure that technology and change management processes are meeting stakeholder expectations.

Accelerated EPM Deployment

Project 2003 "Proof of Concept" Deployment

We all know that we must have top level commitment to ensure success for EPM deployment. Often, there are questions about the technology - does it work? Will it work in our environment? What can the technology do for us? What features, functions and facilities should we focus on first? This "time boxed" service is designed for organizations that are still waiting to see if Microsoft's EPM solution is for them.  Many organizations find that they must prove a small success first and demonstrate with a Proof-of-Concept or Pilot before they can get top level buy-in. Sometimes it is just prudent to make sure that the technology expectations are realistic before committing to a full deployment.  CMD's Accelerated EPM deployment allows you do just that.  Within 5 days we will install a fully functional EPM environment.  More...

Establish PMO

Establishing a PMO

Microsoft Project 2003 can greatly assist you in better managing your projects across the organization.  But, tools are not all that are required.  Setting up a Project or Program Management Office (PMO) will also require organizational changes along with new policies and procedures to initiating and controlling projects.  CMD's PMO Deployment process utilizes a structured approach for setting up a PMO within your organization. By using our services in this area you will also be able to leverage our Project Management Lifecycle methodology that also has many document templates that will help you reduce time and establish a standard set of deliverables.

Project Training

Training and Skills Transfer

Developing your proficiency in the area of Project Management as well as on Microsoft Project 2003 is the goal of our Training and Skills transfer program.  We will take you from the basics of Project Management and tool training up through advanced concepts and techniques you need for managing individual projects or portfolios of projects. More..

Project Management and Mentoring

Project Management and Mentoring

We can assist you in all areas of project management - from concept to completion. We can help you develop concise, workable project plans, develop management strategies and assist in reviewing projects and project plans. We work with your project managers and team members to help them with specific areas in Microsoft Project 2003 EPM. Our mentoring program is designed to transfer skills to your staff - and to make it meaningful and not be disruptive, this is done in the context of the work your staff is involved with. Mentoring can be provided on site or via telephone support.

Why CMD Corporation?

There are many good organizations that can help you with Microsoft Office Project 2003 EPM implementation but we think we bring a different perspective than just technology implementation. Here are some reasons to work with us:

bullet

Our deep technical knowledge: We started working with Microsoft's Project group as a partner many years ago when we started developing our CMD Symphony product that is fully integrated inside the EPM platform. Our staff understands the different EPM components (Pro, PWA, Project Server, Windows SharePoint Services) at all levels - deployment and development.

bullet

Our Project 2003 Deployment Experience: We have helped organizations of all sizes deploy EPM - from small 20 user organization to Fortune 50 corporations with users spread around the world.

bullet

Our Process Management Knowledge and Experience: Our approach is to give our customers a clear view into the implementation and deployment process. We build into our deployment approach the customer's need to harvest and enhance their internal best practices, policies and standards. Basically, you can be successful if you have planned for it and take an approach that leverages internal knowledge. We give you that road map and help you navigate through the plan.

bullet

Our method of Skills Transfer: We build in skills transfer techniques throughout the engagement process. We recognize that you may not be able to ask us all the questions when we are at your site, we are glad to provide telephone consulting and follow-on support on an "as needed" basis.
