PMOs provide an array of project management services found nowhere else. I have successfully established Project Management Offices to meet the demand for:
Project Management Offices empower CIO's & CTO's with the ability to insure all their projects stay on course and free of un-welcomed surprises. If your project is larger than anyone on your staff has experience with, a PMO can help. Are you concerned about possible system design flaws, about resource planning errors, project scope creep initiatives, or about the potential for system delivery delays and cost overruns? A PMO offers unbiased oversight of your prime contractor, their sub-contractors and vendors so you'll never be taken by surprise again. Are multiple simultaneous system build efforts going to integrate smoothly, or are you now concerned that the independent efforts of your several Project Managers may not be as unified as you had once hoped? If so, the PMO can help you establish a fully functional Program Management Office and bring everyone into sync with your vision, and in compliance with PMIŽ standards and accepted practices.
A Project Management Office is also available to assist in the training, grooming, professional growth, and to act as a mentor resource for your own in-house IT Project Managers and Team Leaders.
Methodologies development has been a long and on-going discipline that has formed the core of my business and system thinking to regulate the way I conduct my corporate affairs. This practice embraces structured project management, process management, quality assurance and specifically centered on parametric, to provide a clear vision of true life application and best possible return on value. Methodologies therefore, form the basis for many of the interactivity within business, projects, communications and development so that all aspects of interaction may be considered thoroughly, measured and documented to benefit everyone key actor that participate in its process. The many years in developing methodologies may be reflected in the use of the following tools which I have come to adopt with great proficiency:
System Fault Tolerance is a truly special and disciplined service that makes available dynamic risk assessment for software systems. Frequently applied to systems by government agencies such as NASA, fault tolerance assessments are effective mechanisms for predicting failure rate margins and survivability of critical systems.

Consequently, banking, insurance, aviation, medical and pharmaceutical industries can all benefit by employing these advanced capabilities. System Fault Tolerance can assist you with an array of World-Class risk assessment solutions.

The business development work that I have modeled into a market maker solution empowers Executives with programs, plans, and resources to jump-start stalled or sputtering IT sales. The market maker service helps large companies coordinate and integrate efforts of their marketing and sales organizations across the entire enterprise. It gives your executives the ability to cut through the issues that hinder productivity by establishing a cooperative venue that exposes misunderstanding and rewards performance and cooperation. Market mechanics brings together revenue generating staffs from all points of your corporation's compass, guides them in the identification of product & opportunity synergies, and forces the development of focused marketing and sales campaigns.
First, we help you to make reliable marketing assessments and revenue projections with a minimum of bias, to create achievable marketing and sales plans, and to marshal and posture your sales resources to achieve maximum results in the shortest possible time. Market making mechanics then launches targeted lead generation and sales campaigns. Qualified prospective customers are handed-off to your sales team at any stage of the sales process your select, but the hand-off must take place prior to beginning sales contract negotiations with your new customers.
Development has continued to be a mainstay in my lifetime experience, and fuels the logical ways in which theory, business and needs takes form into solutions. The advent of DOT.NET technology represents a culmination of years in VB, C, J, ASP, SQL and Server technology that has allowed me appreciate the core ideals which has made Microsoft and its customers a success in the world of business. Coupled with extensive hands-on experience and various involvement in prototypes, actual development and testing, my skills contributes directly in all other aspects of my business knowledge, empowering with both the know-how's and how-to's. This creates and ideal situation that effectively delivers sound and pragmatic decisions about design, architecture, cost, and other considerations that profits my customers and especially to benefit the product or service end-user. By combining DOT.NET technology with other popular applications, I have successfully completed these endeavors and solutions to name a few:
Quality Assurance and Outsourcing is an unbiased option dedicated to providing the full range of system performance and usability testing. These range from test architecture and macro design to specific design, execution, results analysis, integration tests and user acceptance testing to ensure that outsourced products meet contractual requirements. Quality Assurance is not tied to any commercial testing software vendors. In addition, Quality Assurance is never a stakeholder in any system we test. As a consequence, Quality Assurance is an excellent choice for companies desiring an independent and unbiased evaluation of vendor developed systems by true testing experts. I have represented a high value option for all regulated industries and risk adverse companies. Some of the most commonly known products for testing that I have supported successfully include:
