Project Management Heroics
You’ve got big things to do, and you need them done yesterday…
Your project is under siege, and you need to call in the big guns …
That’s the kind of challenge we thrive on.
Using our proven tools and techniques, we’ll help you get your project or program under control in no time. Even if the circumstances are dire.
Then we'll manage it to a successful close. It's all in a day's work.
If you've got ordinary, non-superhero projects, we'll help you run those too. But we only wear the cape for the really gritty ones.
Transforming IT (in your spare time)
IT is always busy working on the next thing to make the business better, stronger, and faster. That, and keeping the lights on. But somehow there's never time to work on improving IT itself.
You CAN drive change and serve your customers too. No magic required.
A successful change program is just like any other important business initiative -- you need to identify goals, make a plan, and execute, execute, execute.
At RedArch, we have a structured IT Transformation approach designed to focus and energize your leadership team, and give you the tools you need to drive meaningful and lasting change:
- Vision and goals
- Organizational design
- Communications
- Program and project plans
- Progress reports and decision-making
As anyone who's been through it will tell you, IT change doesn't happen overnight. But it is do-able, even while you are busy running customer projects.
We can help. And we promise you won't end up with a frog in your hat.
PMO Fast-Forward
Done right, a Project Management Office pays off big. Projects get done faster, project sponsors are tickled, and those pesky overruns almost never happen. Too bad it takes so long.
Let's face it, it's a lot of work getting a PMO up and running.
You have to design processes, define standards, map and staff the organization, develop training ... Luckily, now you can skip ahead to the good part.
We’ve got a model PMO ready to go -- processes, tools, detailed instructions, in-depth guidelines and PMO organization design. It's all available in your browser, through a combination of our cloud-based web application and third-party, industry-leading project-portfolio management systems.
You can use our model PMO out-of-the-box, or we'll adapt it to fit your systems and the way you work. We’ll also map your organization to PMO roles, train your people, and coach your PMs while they conduct their first projects.
If you really want to make it easy, leave the PMO to us. We’ll run it for you. You supply the project managers, and we’ll provide ongoing oversight and guidance for as long as you need it.
Mergers & Acquisitions IT Integration
A strategic merger or acquisition is one of the highest-risk endeavors a business may ever undertake. M&A comes with big expectations. The work to pull off the IT integration can be just as big, and just as risky.
A successful integration requires hundreds of inter-dependent decisions and activities to be coordinated, forcing IT, sales, operations, customer service, accounting, human resources, and engineering to cooperate and communicate in ways they have never done before.
Few organizations have the resources necessary to design and manage such a far-reaching program while still running the business itself.
At RedArch, we have decades of experience working with executives across diverse business functions and industries, and as transaction advisers to both buyers and sellers.
We can provide insight into the key integration points IT needs to manage, not only with the other internal business functions but with key contacts on the other side of the deal.
Ask us about the IT integration program you might need for your upcoming transaction. There is zero cost, and no commitment. Then judge for yourself.
