Portfolio
Prioritization
Portfolio Management Helps
Define and Deliver Business Value
CipherSync’s
Portfolio Management practice is based upon an integrated set of
business processes that systematically select, align and manage
investments. Portfolio Management empowers senior decision makers
by giving them a clear view of the organization. By detailing the
value of their existing and proposed IT investments—both tangible,
like hardware spending and less-tangible, like staffing quality.
This process enables your organization to make the best investment
choices.
Beyond
evaluating the financial return of investments, CipherSync
assesses corporate risk and alignment with overall business
strategy. This ensures decision-makers understand the full value
of investments.

Program/Project
Management
Client Challenges
The
challenge is to link organizational strategy to successful,
consistent, predictable project completion...
Delivering
results on time and within budget requires a rare blend of
leadership, task visualization, and attention to detail. The best
managers apply their instincts and experience to predict and
control the future. Finding such managers can be difficult,
particularly in an environment where rapidly evolving technologies
and fierce competition are forcing businesses to react quickly.
Critical projects require immediate results. Sometimes even
having the right manager is not enough. Saddled with the wrong
work structure, the best of managers can find a project spinning
rapidly out of control. For each type of project, success depends
on a balanced mix of experience, skill, leadership, and structure.
Project managers from CipherSync combine all of these elements.
They know how to:
|
Identify
and manage risks right from the start; |
|
Define and
manage project scope; |
|
Deliver
project results on time and within budget; |
|
Ensure
deliverables meet or exceed user needs; |
|
Deliver
products of high quality; and |
|
Deliver
the benefits that justified your investment. |
CipherSync
project managers employ proven work structures that give you
control over IT investments, whether your project is tactical and
local or global and strategic.
Project
Management Process
CipherSync’s
methodology allows our project managers to approach each
assignment in a consistent, results-oriented manner with a toolkit
of best practices in hand. The uniform application of a consistent
method of project management favors the identification and control
of deliverables. Uniformity also facilitates the assignment and
rapid integration of participants in the project. Every
CipherSync service contains our built-in project management
process. We base this on the Guide to the Project Management Body
of Knowledge (PMBOK) published by the Project Management Institute
(PMI). We have adapted to meet the specific needs of our
initiatives. The CipherSync project management process supports
the complete project life cycle and includes the following steps:
|

Built-in Project Management

design, management, and delivery of mission-critical systems where
quality and performance are vital—and deadlines must be met.
