IT Project Management

We offer Project Recovery Services, which will determine the best way to get your organisations project back on track. Our project managers will determine what corrective actions are required to bring the project back in line with the original project cost and schedule baseline. If the existing project baseline is out of reach, we will prepare new project baseline data and assist with the implementation of corrective actions to achieve this.
Our project recovery solutions will:

Revisit and define the goals and benefits of the project :

• Ensure open communication between the business and IT
• Assess the current state of the project
• Validate business requirements for accuracy and that the scope meets with objectives and goals
• Prioritize the project deliverables
• Create or modify the project timeline, including milestones and deliverables
• Perform status checks on short and long-term goals
• Manage known risks and identify additional risks to mitigate them
• Make sure training and support models are in place
• Bring budget in line with project and business expectations

Whether designing a server room, planning an IT equipment upgrade or embarking on a full-scale data center build out, there are many crucial steps that go into successfully completing a project. Businesses that use in-house staff to act as project management risk making costly and time-consuming missteps. Between their existing daily business activities and managing the project plan, in-house staff can be easily overwhelmed with tasks. Should a misstep occur in the project plan, the business will typically incur increased costs and project delays, not to mention frustrated team members.

Our IT team works with end users to first define the scope of the project – both from a technical standpoint and one that considers all the necessary resources. We then provide logistics management, which controls the timing of the project, ensuring that all necessary equipment arrives on site in time to keep the project schedule.

Project management allows a facilities manager and operators to focus on their own business instead of worrying about meetings, orders and implementing a project.

Once the scope of the project is determined, project managers coordinate all communication and efforts between the contractors, the hardware and software providers, and the end users. The project manager clearly defines the specific roles and responsibilities of each member of the entire team according to a schedule. This ensures that there are no overlooked steps while preventing the duplication of effort throughout the project duration.
