Why MSP?
MSP is a pioneer in delivering a single solution for de-siloing the organization and creating a smooth seamless delivery and business unit interface.
MSP does not depart from traditional best practices; in fact MSP uses the PPM concept for project management and project insights. However, unlike classic PPM, MSP allows all relevant roles to be part of the process without the pre-requisite of being certified project management experts.
MSP ‘s target audience is not limited to project and portfolio managers, but spans across all management levels.
MSP connects silos of information in the organization to the entities managed in MSP. -Providing a decision making framework over the metadata enables bi-directional connection and allows a true overarching picture of the organizational operational status and business alignment.
Empirically speaking, MSP's customers report variance of 10% off the vanilla used by their sector.
Most PPM implementations start off with budgets, demands, projects, resources, portfolios and time management. One of the great challenges of implementing a system that is supposed to change (or reflect a change) in the way business is run is the toll it takes on managerial ‘bandwidth’. Creating and sustaining such processes in a diverse organization with global portfolios, programs and projects is both complicated and difficult. More than just operational functionality, the implementation process must provide support to all the operation’s entities, e.g., budget, releases, requirements for changes in existing projects, new unplanned initiations, versions, etc.
MSP’s approach pivots around the insight that implementing a PPM system in a corporation has to be gradual, providing quick wins and engaging the organization with a continual improvement process. This approach allows MSP to significantly reduce the attention ‘bandwidth’ required to promote change with people, processes and technology. The staged approach is complemented by automated features that mechanize the processes, for example by automatically generating Gantts and other data in the peripheral systems.
