The IT industry is built on innovation. Organizations must be able to successfully execute challenging technology projects today if they want to maximize revenue and capture market share. And while information technology projects aren’t new, the scope and impact of these projects have evolved and expanded in recent years. The PMAlliance experts know how to develop program charters that clearly define the parameters of today’s wide-ranging IT projects, giving technology organizations the tools necessary to achieve success on time and on budget.

Power Plants / Outages

Power plants are titans in an ever-shifting landscape. The evolution of consumer consumption and a focus on exploring emerging energy sources have put plant operators in a tough spot. Keep these vital infrastructure assets current, efficient, and economically positive.

ERP/SAP IMPLEMENTATION

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems enable companies to achieve greater levels of efficiency and improve the bottom line. An ERP implementation can also be among the most disruptive and strategically important initiative an organization can undertake, with the potential for loss of productivity and negative operational impacts among the largest risks. Most companies that launch an ERP platform must commit a tremendous amount of internal resources in order to make the project a success. Learn how we can help.

ENERGY

Retrofits, upgrades, and expansion projects dominate the energy industry. But lean funding coupled with the need to derive revenue in a challenging environment are leaving organizations at a disadvantage when it comes to successfully executing the kinds of projects that will generate benefits long into the future. PMAlliance’s PMP®-certified consultants can help your team develop detailed work breakdown structures, adhere to tight timeframes, and move your energy project to a successful completion.

Aerospace

Aerospace projects present complexities for project teams at nearly every stage, whether it’s developing a program charter, identifying task dependencies, allocating resources, controlling schedule variances, or clearing regulatory and safety hurdles. To drive these projects to a successful completion, a cross-functional team must come together to leverage each discipline’s blend of skills and experience. At PMAlliance, our structured approach helps aerospace organizations define their parameters, stick to detailed schedules, and achieve their project’s goals.

Product Development

Projects that support new product development efforts are among the most challenging. Design and other early-stage activities must be carefully orchestrated while maintaining visibility on future impacts and resource needs. Keeping the project on track as market conditions evolve adds to the complexity, creating an environment that could tempt organizations to shift the goal posts mid-stream. PMAlliance’s structured approach can help your team bring the elements of your new product development project under control and move activities to a successful completion.

Finance & Insurance

Technology implementations call for the right level of planning detail and diligent oversight. These projects bring with them an array of variables, and finance and insurance organizations could run the risk of surprises and expensive mistakes if something goes wrong. Potential problems must be identified early and solutions developed, otherwise they could lead to devastating schedule delays or unexpected expenditures.

Mergers and Acquisitions

Merger and acquisition projects move companies forward. They often increase diversity, grow market share, or provide access to key talent and capabilities. They’re also among the riskiest and most strategically important initiatives a company can undertake, and their outcomes can make or break the business. For companies considering a merger or acquisition, choosing the right project management partner is key to success. The team at PMAlliance offers exceptional experience in the M&A sector, and their consultants bring with them the skills necessary to move even sensitive and intricate transactions from planning through execution.

Cross Functional Teams

Project management efficiency and strong communication strategies can mean the difference between success and failure when it comes to complex or high-visibility projects. As organizations pursue goals that increasingly impact multiple operational groups, ensuring that team members are able to move outside the silos of their department or discipline is key to achieving success. At PMAlliance, our experts are skilled at developing cross-functional teams capable of planning and executing even the most challenging projects.
