EPM Live Brings Project, Portfolio and Work Management to Multi-maturity Level Organizations
CARLSBAD, Calif., March 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- EPM Live, a global leader in Enterprise SharePoint Project, Portfolio and Work Management applications, announced today a breakthrough in PPM evolution. EPM Live has a history of bringing to market the solutions for many common pain points across PPM tools today. In many organizations, it is common to see a separate portfolio planning tool that is segregated from the tool used to manage project execution. EPM Live's PortfolioEngine seamlessly integrates these two processes and brings high level strategic portfolio planning together with the tools necessary to ensure your projects are executed in an efficient manner. Since WorkEngine's inception, EPM Live has specialized in bringing project work together with non-project work, forming a true comprehensive work management platform that is built on the fastest growing collaboration tool on the market today, SharePoint. In recent years, it became more apparent that organizations were looking to projectize their businesses by offering project management tools to all teams for various types of work including services and product development. Although these were all critical milestones in EPM Live's evolution, one of the largest breakthroughs has been present since day one of its existence, the ability to support multi-maturity level organizations. There are many levels of users across an organization and those users have different work, different processes and different PPM maturity alignment. EPM Live allows organizations the ability to define and enforce Enterprise requirements while allowing individual teams the ability to customize their solution to work the way they work, ultimately increasing ownership and adoption of PPM technology.

"The PPM application market has shown marked resilience, having grown when most enterprise software markets receded during the global economic crisis. The features and functions of the products in the PPM market are strong, mature commodities. Demand for PPM applications has not wavered, but, rather, increased exponentially during the past 10 years. Deep maturity is making it increasingly difficult to distinguish between competing products on feature/function alone, said Daniel Stang, Gartner Analyst. "It is for this reason that we will continue to strive to exceed market innovation boundaries and not only create features and functions that our essential in PPM practices but also deliver them through an ideal customer experience that is flexible, affordable, intuitive and simple," said EPM Live's CEO, Joe Larscheid. "The fact that leading industry analysts note WorkEngine to be the SharePoint answer to PPM validates our vision to expand Microsoft SharePoint into a complete Portfolio, Project and Work Management solution, allowing organizations to protect their current IT investments and reduce the expense of implementing PPM throughout the organization," said Joe.
See how one EPM Live customer, Jack in the Box, has implemented WorkEngine across their multi-maturity level organization to reduce cost and improve maturity. "We will see great cost savings from deploying EPM Live across the organization. Implementing a multi-maturity level PPM tool will allow us to meet the needs of all stakeholders which will increase productivity and reduce overall costs across all Jack in the Box initiatives, said Kourtney Kennedy, Jack in the Box IT Portal Development.
