At the beginning of the day, the CEO asks, “If we cancel the xyz project what is the impact on the overall portfolio of 47 other active projects?” Answering this question does not happen by installing software and going to a day of classes. Our solutions provide an integrated approach to implementing processes and software that allow this question to be answered effectively and efficiently.

SoftwareMatters.com, Inc., provides project and portfolio management training and enterprise class implementation assistance for Microsoft™ Office Project Professional 2003 and Project Office Server 2003. We partner with Forte Systems to combine high quality technical expertise in Microsoft products and in integrated third party Portfolio Management and Resource Management products  with our experience implementing Enterprise Project Management solutions in organizations of varying types.

Enterprise level project management process and tool implementations, whether oriented toward new ways of doing business (e.g., lean manufacturing or agile development or ISO certification) or simply collecting the data in one place require changes in the business processes. Our team works with you to identify the best way to move from the concept stage to the implementation of new project management processes and tools to support the new initiatives.

Once the methods are clear, the tools selected to collect and present the information are critical. Our team integrates your processes and objectives into a Project Server 2003 configuration that is a complete solution for your project planning, tracking and collaboration requirements.

Critical to the successful roll-out of an enterprise level project management system is the ability to effectively communicate the status of resources and projects at many levels of detail.

Our team helps you to fulfill communication requirements with reporting solutions including  report development and report package implementation and effective use of standard features provided with Microsoft Project Web Access.
