Implementation Project Management

per DM specialises in system and package implementation project management. An important part of maintaining any business' competitiveness is keeping their IT systems up to date, providing the types of services their customers' require.

Very often this means selecting new systems from suppliers the company has not dealt with before and implementing solutions which may be unique within the industry.

Although a successful company does not become successful without having the skilled staff on board to maintain and develop their IT systems, the skills required to manage a new implementation project cannot always be found in-house.

  • Budget - the creation of an initial budget and maintenance of the budget throughout the life of the project.
  • User Requirements - gathering of user requirements and acceptance by the business.
  • Product selection - assistance in the process of selecting the supplier and the product to meet the user requirements. per DM can also assist with contract negotiations ensuring expectations and milestones are included in the contract
