Project Management

The path to the successful completion of a project can be bumpy and at times aggravating.

Advantage Technology Group provides experts at smoothing the path.

CIO Magazine reports, "Recession-related IT budget slashing and layoffs are taking their toll on IT project success rates."

Additionally, according to the results of the latest CHAOS Summary 2009 report from The Standish Group, the Boston, Mass.-based IT project management research and consulting firm surveyed 400 organizations and found a decrease in IT project success rates and an increase in IT project failure rates during the past two years.

"Specifically, 32 percent of IT projects were considered successful, having been completed on time, on budget and with the required features and functions."  That means 68% of IT projects were either late, over-budget, or were built WITHOUT required features or functions.

"Nearly one-in-four (24 percent) IT projects were considered failures, having been canceled before they were completed, or having been delivered but never used. The rest (44 percent) were considered challenged: They were finished late, over budget, or with fewer than the required features and functions."   

Our skills, abilities, and competencies, augmented by continuous training, AND "experience" has helped us develop all the necessary leadership, communication, and technology qualities to effectively manage projects....from the smallest to multi-million dollar efforts.  Every member of our Project Team has been trained in the Project Management Institute's methods and processes.

A project is creating a process, product, or outcome that doesn't currently exist).  While most of our experience is in managing Information Technology projects to create software or an infrastured stack, we have also managed projects for marketing campaigns, workforce management efforts, and recruitment process outsourcing projects.

From conceptual design to developing initiation documents, to budgets, qualtiy and staffing plans and on through execution to signoff and ensuring client satisfaction, we are committed to providing the best service possible throughout the project and beyond.

Instead of dreading your next IT project, leave the details to us. It's what we do.   Call us at 513-563-3560 or send a note to our VP Strategy & Planning, Dan.Whitacre@ATG247.com to discuss you next project.
