Effective Program management for Smart Business...
The typical global business enterprise spans multiple business units over many national and world regions. While the enterprise has a central mission, each business unit must answer to different specific competitive objectives, with needs often varying by world region or national border. This is the context into which technology strategy must fit for many customers.
With ROI becoming more and more important in technology strategy decisions, the need to keep IT projects aligned with business goals and deliver them on schedule and on budget requires highly skilled program management. Effective program management has proven to be the single most important success factor in delivering large systems development projects, including ERP, e-business migrations and outsourced application management.
Thinksol’s Program Management solution leverages our extensive track record of managing complex, mission-critical technology projects for multiple large enterprises, ranging from large scale remediation and legacy system migration to business intelligence and e-business application development efforts. We know how to mobilize all the right resources to deliver projects on time, on budget, and to meet service level commitments after the system enters production.

Thinksol's Program Management Solution
Managing technology programs requires in-depth technology knowledge, covering the characteristics of different platform technologies, state-of-the-art tools, and systems integration issues. Program management also requires the ability to manage activities and resources outside of IT, such as:
- Managing multiple project streams concurrently
- Procuring the right tools, training, and other resources
- Empowering project teams to manage the details, so program managers can stay focused on the big picture
- Mobilizing the right talent, both inside and outside the organization
- Communicating with the right players and stakeholders at the right times
- Carefully tracking the status, performance, and scope of all projects to ensure that they stay aligned with business goals
- Conducting effective change management, so IT projects adapt to business goals as organization priorities evolve
- Ensuring that all activities continue meeting their budgets, timelines, and deliverables
Our Program Management solution provides the skills, knowledge, proprietary tools, methodologies and experience that your organization needs to ensure that IT projects are executed properly. Our program management solution goes well beyond the traditional limits of tactical outsourcing, by supplying expert professionals who can assist your program management office, or run it. This solution is well suited for scenarios such as:
- New business units of existing companies, or startup ventures, who must hit the ground running with business-critical IT projects, and lack the time or resources to recruit a full program management staff
- Organizations with hiring limitations who need to stretch their program management offices further
- Organizations with short-term, limited lifespan projects, who cannot afford to drawn existing staff away from core systems
We have mastered the "three C's" of project management, including:
- Communications: Our onsite/offshore model relies on processes such as knowledge transfer, requirements management, performance reporting and other processes that require effective communications. We have developed our communications skills in environments that require the close coordination of onsite and offshore teams
- Contract Management: As part of our enterprise engagements, we form long-term relationships with our clients that rely on effective contract management.
- Cost Management: We serve our customers through our ability to stretch the value of their IT dollars through effective deployment of highly skilled skilled professionals and our ability to leverage our economies of scale.
- Technology management skills are difficult to find. Cognizant is your trusted partner to help your organization bridge the gap between technology vision and proven results.
- Program Management Tools
Communications and performance measurement are important components of a successful Program Management strategy. Towards that end, we emphasize the use of web-based tracking, measurement, and issue management to ensure that technology programs are successfully executed. Our portfolio of tools includes:
- LAN-based Project Workbench products such as Microsoft Project to track progress on individual efforts
- Web-based issues management systems to ensure that all project questions and hurdles are easily communicated to all concerned process owners, users, and technology professionals
- Resource management and project life cycle costing tools used for project time tracking and cost control
- Project dash boards and other analytic tools to help project managers and participants understand critical technological, organizational, and business trends impacting the ability to meet time, performance, and budgetary promises
- Enterprise knowledge management systems to help embed best practices throughout the organization
