IBM Wins Project Management Office of the Year Award
PM Solutions and the Project Management Institute's Program Management Office Specific Interest Group (PMOSIG) announce that IBM's Project Management Center of Excellence (PM/COE) has been selected as the 2010 PMO of the Year. The award, which distinguishes a project management office (PMO) for its success in developing and maturing an organizational structure that supports the effective management of projects, recognizes IBM's PM/COE specifically for creating global project management standards and enterprise-wide consistency among its 26,000 project managers worldwide; establishing a dedicated project management knowledge repository and communications network; increasing project accountability; improving time-to-market by 65%; and decreasing the number of troubled projects by 25%.
Now that's worth an award.
IBM's Center of Excellence was selected from a field of more than 40 applicants from nearly every continent and including state and federal agencies, major nonprofit organizations and Fortune 1000 companies. The finalists include:
Finalist #1 The Doe Run Company's Enterprise Program Management Office (St. Louis, Missouri) Finalist #2 Auckland City Council's Program Office (Auckland, New Zealand) Finalist #3 T-Mobile USA's Enterprise Program Office (Bellevue, Washington)
"All of this year's award applicants are excellent examples of the incredible impact a mature PMO can make on an organization and of how far the PMO has come over the last decade," said J. Kent Crawford, PMP, CEO of PM Solutions. "The vast measures that IBM has taken in this area and its outstanding accomplishments reveal a telling story on how to create a successful PMO that sets the course for the entire enterprise."
Inside IBM's Program Management Center of Excellence (COE) During the early 1990s, industry dynamics such as global competition, resource pressures, rapid change in customer segments, and new technology drove IBM to rethink its organizational structure, business model, and management approach. IBM identified project management as key to reliably delivering complex business solutions to its global customers. Studies supported that the lack of good project management was a major contributor to project failure, customer satisfaction issues, and the erosion of revenue and profit. So the company initiated a corporate strategy to transform IBM into a project-based enterprise by raising project management to a core competency. An Executive Steering Committee (ESC) of senior executives from all major business units was established and remains in place today.
IBM's ESC chartered the Project Management Center of Excellence (PM/COE), a formal global PMO, as the change agent for this transformation. Its mission is to develop and implement a corporate strategy to achieve global organizational competence in project management. Then and now, IBM's PMO establishes and drives a consistent career infrastructure, a common methodology based on industry standards and the PMBOK(R) Guide, a community of knowledgeable practitioners, and supportive enablers including processes and systems. It also develops and maintains a professional project management community within IBM and is the interface between this community and other internal and external professional communities.
"Being honored with this award is a coming of age for our team," said Deborah Dell, PMP, IBM's PM/COE Manager. "We've been working toward this level of maturity for years and will continue to do so simply because it is a business model that works. It keeps our enterprise operating efficiently, productively, intelligently...and profitably."
According to one judge, "IBM set the stage for other organizations to follow with the creation of its Center for Excellence back in 1996. IBM has continued with its maturity initiatives, career progression, emphasis on portfolio management, its return on investment in knowledge management, and its continuous emphasis on business benefits."
PM Solutions and the PMOSIG will jointly present the award to IBM at the PMOSIG's PMO Symposium, being held November 7-10, 2010 in Dallas, Texas.
"IBM has unquestionably demonstrated the ability to integrate project and program management into the infrastructure, organization, and processes used to execute its business," said Rommy Musch, Executive Chair of the PMOSIG. "All PMOs, including the ones represented by our 4,000+ members around the world, can benefit from hearing how IBM's PM/COE was able to accomplish such significant business impact."

GxP Consulting Responds to Biopharmaceutical Industry Demands for Increased Development Cycle Support
GxP Consulting, a leading provider of consulting and training to the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries, announces the launch of its expanding biopharmaceutical process support services.
GxP Consulting is responding to increased demand for expertise across the entire development cycle of biopharmaceutical products and in a number of emerging areas – including stem cell and gene therapy research and the essential vector agents.
These promising yet complex areas of biopharmaceutical research are relatively new to many companies and require specific knowledge in order to maximise their potential for developing new treatments. As part of this, there is a need to establish the regulatory compliance requirements of these new products as early as possible and integrate these within the overall development, approval and manufacturing process as efficiently and effectively as possible. The GxP Consulting biopharmaceutical process team can assist companies looking to make further advancements in these new areas of research by offering a full range of experience-based support at each stage of the process - from early development and regulatory application to analytical method development, scale-up, facility design, technology transfer, marketing authorisation and full-scale commercial manufacture.
GxP Consulting has also announced the introduction of a range of smart services targeted at providing maximum value to existing and new customers. In response to the global economic downturn, GxP Consulting is now offering a suite of added-value options to help its clients fulfil their regulatory compliance responsibilities: complimentary initial consulting sessions, pre-payment incentive schemes and training packages that include consulting sessions at no extra cost.
Mark Stevens, managing director at GxP Consulting, said: “It is a very exciting time in the biopharmaceutical industry with new streams of research and clinical studies that are introducing innovative new products and technologies. However, as advances are made, businesses seek the necessary expertise to ensure that projects run efficiently and reliably at every stage of the process. The GxP Consulting biopharmaceutical process team can offer the most appropriate advice to ensure each project is a success and that companies have available all the help and experience they need for their current and future development plans.”
The comprehensive biopharmaceutical process service incorporates initial evaluation and feasibility studies to ensure the most appropriate strategy is chosen in order to minimise time to market and also provides extensive support at each product lifecycle phase through to post-licensing projects. Expertise within the GxP Consulting team includes mammalian cell and microbial fermentation, egg/vaccine systems currently in use for the Flu treatments and the development of products using novel technologies such as stem cell and gene therapy. The team can offer experience-based advice and leadership on topics such as; clinical trial strategy; regulatory approval strategy; process and quality requirements for sterile, parenteral products; protein purification; down-stream processing; process trouble-shooting; biosimilar process development; analytical assay development; validation master planning, and even the building and training of entire new teams.
Tactical support is available including: clinical study project management; e-clinical technology selection, implementation and integration; facility design services, including equipment and utilities; project cost estimation for design, build and validation activities; product safety; process validation; cleaning validation; comparability studies and stability studies. Support is also provided on all process related documentation, such as SOPs and batch manufacturing records (BMR).
GxP Consulting can provide interim management support and help companies to develop knowledge transfer and training strategies in order to ensure projects and operations run efficiently. Utilizing the latest IT tools and an extensive library of configurable templates enables the GxP Consulting team to get projects up and running in the fastest time possible.
The experienced GxP Consulting team is led by Dr Steve Collins and supported by principal consultant, Keith Williams. Steve has more than 30 years’ experience in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical sectors, including work with recombinant proteins, monoclonal antibodies, bacterial products, vaccines, cell culture therapies and radiochemicals. Keith has been working in the biopharmaceutical industry since 1989 and has been involved with production management, engineering design, project management, commissioning, validation, strategic planning and high-level consultancy.
GxP Consulting provides high-value, results-focused regulatory compliance services to the highly regulated pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries. The company has expanded in order to support its growing number of clients globally with the continual increasing requirements of regulatory compliance, covering pre-clinical (GLP), clinical (GCP), manufacturing (GMP) and wholesale storage & distribution - Good Distribution Practice (GDP) business areas.

Caiman Consulting Cited as One of 2009's "Best Small Firms to Work For"
Caiman Consulting has been recognized by Consulting Magazine as one of 2009's "Best Small Firms to Work For."
The industry's leading trade publication ranked Caiman Consulting's unique company culture as number one in the nation among consulting organizations with fewer than 499 billable consultants. Caiman Consulting, the only small firm in the Pacific Northwest to receive national recognition, was ranked 14th nationwide as one of the Best Firms to work for in 2009. The company was also cited for its top leadership (sixth best in the country), ranked third nationally amongst Business Advisory Firms, and was among the top firms in which consultants feel their work has a positive impact on clients.
"If you're interested in consulting at all, then this is the perfect place to be," says Caiman Consultant Tim Crockett. "If you are a solid performer, then this is the place for you because nobody supports, encourages and rewards performance better than Caiman."
Firm CEO and founder Greg Long echoes Crockett's sentiments: "We've worked hard to build a culture that attracts superstar consultants and rewards high performance. You can see the results of our efforts in satisfied clients and the several high profile projects in which our work is recognized."
Caiman Consulting, headquartered in Redmond, Washington, employs more than 20 consultants in Washington and California. The company provides project management services for companies ranging from major global corporations to small start-ups, and the firm's client base includes the Microsoft Corporation, The Boeing Company, and Real Networks. Recent Caiman engagements include:
• Helping a major aerospace corporation assess technologies to manage its patents and intellectual property.
• Driving localization of a major component of a software product (one with nearly a billion users) for a Fortune 100 high-tech company.
• Developing multi-channel strategic communications for a major product launch for a software company.
This is the second year in which Consulting Magazine has rated Caiman Consulting among the best in the nation recognizing Caiman leadership and their commitment for prioritizing their consultants' job despite challenging economic conditions.
"In the consulting industry, I think leadership is all about you motivating your team to continue to work hard," says Long. "Our consultants have hard jobs and they may work long hours and they're looking for guidance, and more importantly, examples of how to deal with those challenges from the company leadership."
About Caiman Consulting
Caiman Consulting provides experienced and trusted business-advisory and project-management services to major global corporations. With honesty, integrity, creativity and technology, Caiman delivers solutions that enrich clients, partners, and community.
Caiman is headquartered in Redmond, Washington and employs over 20 consultants for clients such as the Microsoft Corporation, The Boeing Company, and Real Networks. (Caiman Consulting is a Microsoft Preferred Vendor.)

AtTask Project Management Software Enables BDM Consulting to Quantify and Validate a Positive ROI for Clients, Worth Millions of Dollars
AtTask, the definitive solution enabling organizations to collaborate and accomplish the work most essential to the enterprise, has partnered with BDM Consulting to help organizations implement timely supply chain solutions.
“We use @task to efficiently manage all customer engagements to ensure timely project delivery and cost management,” said Damon De La Pena, co-founder and managing director of BDM Consulting. “What’s more, @task helps us demonstrate our value to our customers. In the case of our NV Energy client, we quantified a positive ROI of greater than 10x on just one of several project engagements.”
NV Energy supplies the power needs of Nevada and northeastern California. The Generation Department recently selected BDM Consulting to strategically transfer thousands of internal inventory items used for maintenance, repair, and operations on plant systems, from a company owned inventory to a consigned vendor-managed inventory (VMI) model, using AtTask as their project management software.
“This was a complicated project that involved hundreds of people from throughout the state of Nevada,” De La Pena said. “It was imperative we use a project management solution that could provide transparency system-wide, enabling BMD to efficiently manage implementation, facilitate collaboration among NV Energy team members, and quantify the cost savings to management. Simply put, AtTask was the answer.”
Using AtTask reports and dashboards, team members at both BDM and NV Energy were able to see every time a task status was updated in real time. This kept everyone involved on task and on the same page. AtTask’s issue management capabilities collected key data used to negotiate corrective action when challenges developed.
“This project had a tight deadline,” De La Pena said. “The visibility provided by AtTask was key in helping us stay on schedule. Instrumental team members were scattered throughout the state, but AtTask allowed us to create a virtual environment of collaboration and efficiency.”
In fact, AtTask streamlined the implementation process by consolidating vendors and reducing the number of individual transactions flowing through NV Energy’s accounts payable (averaging between $25-$50 per transaction). Using AtTask, BDM quantifiably reduced inventory expense on maintenance items by 10x.
“Quantifiable data is critical for organizations to measure results,” said Scott Johnson, CEO of AtTask. “Organizations like NV Energy want to measure the value of a consultant like BDM. Being able to easily demonstrate Return on Investment (ROI) can be invaluable when talking to clients or even upper management. AtTask allows BDM to calculate return at the task level.”
In May 2008, BDM Consulting and NV Energy jointly presented these results at the National Utility Supply Maintenance Conference, highlighting AtTask’s role in the project’s success.
“AtTask enabled NV Energy to realize the value of thinking in terms of a fleet-wide, value-added strategy, which is paying off for them,” said De La Pena. “On our end, AtTask allowed BDM to manage vertically and horizontally across the company. With the time-stamped issue management solution, there was immediate visibility. I was also able to manage costs and communicate effectively, making implementation a smooth process.”
Recent AtTask Highlights
* AtTask finishes another record-breaking quarter with 183 new customers and 140% year-over-year increase in Q1 2009 bookings

More Than 1,000 Organizations Sign Up to Trial Severa's New Project Management Application
Severa Corporation of Finland, a leading provider of online professional services automation, today announced it has surpassed 1,000 sign-ups from 58 countries for its recently released Severa 3 version after only three weeks on the market.
Severa's new service has the highest registration numbers in the United States, Canada, Finland, Indonesia and Great Britain. According to a recent customer survey, 78% of Severa's customers confirm that their billing has become more efficient and 70% of the customers have managed to clarify their business operations.
Available as a free license to the first user, Severa's easy and instant implementation as well as its adaptability in different professional service sectors, has contributed to its rapid international adoption. After a user registers online, the project management application is ready to be utilized within minutes. Severa 3's intuitive user interface ensures that different user groups within an organization will learn to use the service easily.
"Severa wants to support professional services organizations (PSAs) everywhere in their fight against the global recession by offering every company a complimentary single-user license," said Severa CTO Jari Kärkkäinen. "When we started our new product development, we knew there were plenty of requests among PSAs for this kind of service. But we couldn't imagine surpassing our 1,000 registration milestone as quickly as we did."
Although the marketplace offers several systems for managing industrial production or financial administration, very few solutions are optimized specifically for PSAs and service providers.
Severa 3 is designed for PSAs that want to improve their daily activities and reduce revenue leakage. The service eases customer and project management, automates work-time entries and billing, and features one-click access to most commonly used functions.

Advanced Systems Group Announces Data Center Relocation Whitepaper
Advanced Systems Group (ASG), the Denver-based IT consulting, integration, and project management firm, today announces the availability of its new data center relocation whitepaper, Data Center Relocations: Make a Good Move with Advanced Systems Group. This whitepaper offers guidance to companies currently facing potentially difficult and complicated data center relocations.
Companies today rely on technology and data to perform day-to-day business operations, so data centers are essential to company success. In order to properly regulate this crucial information and technology, data centers are elaborate, interconnected systems of hardware and software. As a result, any attempt to migrate these business-critical applications and assets poses risk and complications, such as significant down-times and lost productivity.
In the new whitepaper, ASG describes how their proprietary methodology addresses these issues, from start to finish. Specifically, the ASG methodology is designed to create comprehensive plans to relocate production data centers from one location to another without endangering any data or critical services.
"The ASG data center move methodology is a comprehensive approach," says Dustin Smith, lead consulting engineer at ASG. "Our first priority is to study and document an organization's entire environment, carefully planning for any potential risk. And then we are on-site and 100% committed until the move is completed and all services are online and running properly."
Recently, ASG moved mission-critical server components for a large financial services corporation in Colorado. This corporation originally approached another company that refused to do the move, predicting a failure rate of more than 70 percent. ASG, on the other hand, was able to safely and efficiently move all of the components, worth over $2 million, without a single failure--while still meeting the customer's 100 percent uptime requirement.
