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.

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. |

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.

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.

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
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:
 |
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. |
 |
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. |
 |
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. |
 |
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. |
