Program Management

Consistency, reuse, repeatability, and process: Are these terms that have eluded your IT organization? You are not alone.

Today’s Chief Information Officers (CIOs) are more at risk from failed programs and projects than ever before. This is why over 85% of corporate IT functions have implemented a Program Management Office (PMO). The PMO drives highly efficient service delivery through consistency, reuse, repeatability, and process discipline.

When it comes to outsourcing process discipline is critical. Alsbridge understands that outsourcing is all about leverage. We know that a well operated PMO leverages process to manage hand-offs between the client and its providers.

That’s why we have a team of experts dedicated to helping you establish your PMO — we bring proven PMO structures and process flows to get your PMO up and running now. We then transfer our PMO knowledge to your staff, so they can run the program once we leave. The results are on-time, on-budget performance that delivers value from your outsourcing relationship. Better program management means optimized leverage with your providers and that translates to a better IT bottom-line.

The Alsbridge PMO model drives IT results at 4 levels:

• Business Goals:
  Alignment of IT goals with the business strategy and corporate goals.
• Business Processes and Service Levels:
  Consistent execution of projects within the PMO for meeting customer demands linked to provider service level agreements.
• Applications and Service Capacity Requirements:
  Accurate capture of business requirements ensuring applications meet the service demands of the business.
• Infrastructure and Resource Capacity Requirements:
  Optimum utilization of infrastructure capacity keeping Capex cost in balance with service demand capacity.

• Enhanced alignment of the IT organization with business strategy
