SharePoint-based Project Management and Reporting

Challenge

Large companies continue to face challenges to manage projects and report on projects. Lack of centralized project reporting creates tremendous overhead on Program and Project Managers while leaving stakeholders with stale information.

Our client, a large telecom giant, was facing challenges in providing up-to-date program and project information. Business stakeholders, executives, technical teams, offshore vendors, suppliers, and others made up a geographically dispersed project team. Information dissemination was challenging and had to rely on emails. This resulted in:

  • Lack of communication
  • Increased project costs
  • Executives and stakeholders could not make timely decisions

Our Solution

Our professionals analyzed the business and technical challenges and proposed a turnkey SharePoint based centralized project management and reporting solution.

Our solution allows project status to be appropriately updated by key personnel through web browsers anywhere and any time. Milestone tasks are assigned and tracked. Reports can be generated at any time with current information.

Few key solution features are:

  • 100% web-based solution
  • Management and reporting of resources, budgets and timelines
  • Easily measure progress and identify issues much earlier
