Projects & Portfolio Management

The Importance of Projects

With the Oil price recovering, a return to more “normal” operations, many Energy companies are looking again to investment opportunity or drive significant improvement initiatives. Having a fully integrated Project and Portfolio Management solution to support this life cycle process has never been more important. The success of any project is to deliver to the timescales, with a lower cost and deliver against the identified benefits. The need to increase productivity more efficiently and deliver this with a view to the decarbonization of operations.

Why is there a need to improve capital management?

Select well - Multiple pieces of work competing for the same limited financial and staffing resources.
A common logic - Strategies are not aligned across the various entities or business units driving the Programs / Projects.
A common way of working - Divergent processes & models for managing and reporting on Program / Project performance and progress.
How are things going - No ability to track progress and have clear accountability for delivery.
A complete solution - A multitude of toolsets/systems across the organization leading to inconsistent data, duplication, and siloed information.
