Successful Projects Don’t Just Happen…
In recent years, more and more IT decision-makers are recognising the impact that project management has on their companies’ bottom lines. Increasingly, however, companies have been forced to manage critical projects with limited staff, smaller budgets and fewer resources. Too often, the unfortunate result is projects that are late or over budget and in fact, statistics demonstrate that most projects fail to meet expectations.
So what causes IT projects to founder? The answer is that IT projects fail because they're simply harder. They include the usual project-management challenges, such as deadlines, budget constraints and too few people to devote to the project. But they also face unique technology challenges, from hardware, operating system, network or database woes, to security risks, interoperability issues, and the changes manufacturers make to their hardware and software configurations.
With the fragile economy, now more than ever, you can’t afford project delays and budget overruns. At Dimension Data, we believe that successful IT projects don’t just happen…rather; they must be meticulously planned and diligently controlled.
Getting to Grips with International Deployments
It’s estimated that international deployments impose two to three times the management load of national ones. Omnipresent complexities and risks often de-rail international projects including finding the appropriate resources in specific geographies … ensuring services are delivered with consistent quality … importation and tax regulations … not to mention a host of potential language and cultural issues …
How do you manage?
The answer is to leave the finer details to Dimension Data. Every year we assist thousands of clients across the globe to move forward with international and cross-border new investments and deployments with confidence. Through our International Programme Office (IPO) we provide our clients with a single point of contact – in the form of a dedicated Account Manager – regardless of the number of geographies that are involved in the project. This resource is available 24/7 and gives clients peace of mind that their projects are receiving the level of attention they deserve and that someone always has an ‘eye on the ball’.
