Energo ICT - ICT Project Management Services

The number of companies using high levels of ICT outsourcing services is predicted to nearly double over the next two years in western Europe. (Source: Gartner)

Outsourcing software and systems development is not a decision to be taken lightly, and reports of IT outsourcing failures appear daily in national and international publications.

With Energo's experienced ICT project management you have taken the first step to ensure your project is a success.

Most outsourcing failures occur for one or more of the following reasons:

  • Incomplete or inconsistent specifications
  • Suppliers not fully understanding what is required, despite assurances to the contrary
  • Poor planning and procedures
  • A failure to regularly monitor and manage suppliers
  • Poor communication between customer and developers
Why IT Projects Fail

Energo's Project Management Service

Energo understand that many businesses who outsource development work do so because they do not have the appropriate in-house resources to supply what is required. Not many companies have these resources, and for good reason: their business is a user, not a developer, of information and communications technology (ICT). This being the case, clients rarely have the full set of skills required to successfully manage a modern-day ICT project and blindly trust the outsourced supplier to deliver exactly what is required, on time and within budget.

Energo have a unique mix of real world business acumen and ICT development skills gained from years of working in a number of roles with a variety of clients, from global corporations to small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs.)

Energo are expert software and systems development project managers - we understand the software and systems development process from conception to implementation and project roll-out. Why not take out some "project insurance" and let one of our highly experienced team take on the role of independent project manager to ensure your outsourced project is delivered to specification, on budget and on time.

Our comprehensive ICT project management service includes:

  • A dedicated ICT Project Manager who will be the sole point of contact for both client and supplier throughout the contract duration

  • Independent review of project specification to ensure both client and supplier are clear at the outset on what is to be delivered. An incomplete specification can add thousands in cost and weeks or months in time to your project; take advantage of our expertise to ensure that a complete, watertight specification and contract is agreed with your supplier at the outset.

  • Regular progress reports

  • Hands-on management of your supplier with regular visits to their premises to discuss and assess progress with the project development personnel

  • Early flagging of potential slippages and/or cost overruns with detailed plans for rectifying the situation

  • World-wide service

 

Our concise progress reports are written in clear language that will not baffle you with the obscure technical details and language often used by hired developers (sometimes to conceal problems with project progress.)

We will ensure that communications between client and IT developers are clear and concise to both parties to avoid "crossed wires" and misinterpretation during the project.

Don't let your project become another failed outsourcing statistic - call us today!
