Program and Project Management Services

A majority of the projects, especially those dealing with development and implementation of complex IT systems fail. Some never get off the ground while others are abandoned because of cost overruns or unacceptable delays. Of those that are completed many fail to deliver the functionality promised to the business users. The causes for this lie both in the way projects are designed as well as how they are managed during the implementation stage. Either the risks are not properly identified or risk management strategies are not developed to mitigate the risks identified before and during implementation.

E§Group has over 20 years of experience in designing and managing projects of every size and complexity. We have successfully managed programs and projects for the World Bank, United Nations, Government of Canada and the private sector. We believe that our ability to manage expectations within clients' complex environments and reality is a very important factor contributing to our successful record in planning, designing and implementing programs and projects.

E§Group uses a systematic process to analyse problems, gather requirements and formulate solutions, using the appropriate tools. Our ability to design and implement complex IT projects is enhanced by our in depth understanding of the systems life cycle management process based on our intimate knowledge and experience gained through carrying out activities to define user requirements, architect and engineer a viable solution, produce detailed system specifications, develop a technology roadmap, build, test and deploy the solution.
