| Due to the popularity of online communication and information sharing tools, present day project teams are distributed across different locations and geographies. Project, program and portfolio managers, along with the activities they are responsible are additionally burdened with coordinating and managing the communication, synchronization, productivity and efficiency these distributed teams – which would have been spent better on value added activities like managing the cost effectiveness and resources of the teams, improving the processes and investigating and implementing the latest and greatest trends and approaches for managing distributed projects. This is especially true for project scenarios within mid size and large organizations. |

| Gaps and Issues that need to be addressed |
| Centralizing project content, data, documents and processes |
|
For large and distributed teams, it is very essential to provide a centralized environment that is capable of bringing together the content, data, documents and processes and delivering it contextually to the various members of the project teams. Centralization reduces errors, unnecessary redundancies, confusions, miscommunications and multiple version of the same information among others – having a direct impact on the productivity and efficiency of the project execution and management teams.
We implement SharePoint as the platform for centralizing all your project related information. Our implementations integrate with your existing project management infrastructure like Project Server, SQL Server and other systems and deliver information from these systems in a contextual manner through role based management and collaboration dashboards.

| Tracking the top level project goals and objectives at milestone and task levels |
|
Project management is more than just managing to the milestones, tasks, resources and costs as defined by the different project plans. It includes creating overall goals and objectives, streamlining the project implementation processes to align to the goals and objectives and tracking the overall execution of the project to success. For large projects and distributed teams, all these activities can get lost in the chaos of managing to the daily deliverables and ultimate milestones, running the risk of having long term effects on the set goals and objectives for the project management teams.
We help our customers to manage the top level project goals and objectives at milestones and task levels through roll up and trickle down mechanisms. Top level executives can set the goals and objectives to various program and portfolio managers. These users can then create different projects for achieving each of the goals and objectives and deliver it to the project managers who break down the projects to milestones and task level for execution. Our role based dashboards provide the ability to track given goals and objectives for projects against the milestones and tasks.

| Enabling Project Teams with better productivity and efficiency |
|
For project teams to be able to work efficiently and deliver to the deadlines, they should be enabled to quickly resolve issues, collaborate with team members and experts, share ideas and information, prioritize and track their tasks, easily manage their timesheets and gain knowledge from available experiences of successful implementations. The current infrastructure does not support or is difficult to extend so as to incorporate these value added features.
Our project collaboration solutions with SharePoint deliver the self service and collaboration functionalities with components and features that are tailored to meet the project collaboration requirements of your organization. Moreover, our solutions also provide workflows and document management capabilities through dashboards that further automate the project collaboration and management processes – paving way for better productivity and efficiencies within your project teams.

| Driving better utilization of your existing project management infrastructure |
|
Implementing a centralized project collaboration solution with SharePoint does not mean that you have to do away with the existing project management infrastructure like Project Server and SQL Server. Instead, a better way would be to integrate the SharePoint project collaboration solution with your infrastructure and drive towards the implementation and deployment of a holistic solution for program, portfolio and project management.
We have the experience of implementing holistic project management and collaboration solution that integrate and extend your existing project management infrastructure with document management, content management, collaboration, self service, Web 2.0 and social networking features. Our customers have heavily benefited from such implementations with SharePoint in terms of better program, project and portfolio management, improved productivity and efficiency of distributed and large product teams, and with reduced time and effort required to administration of the project, portfolios, programs, communication and infrastructure.
