SOLVING THE MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CHALLENGE

The challenge

Project managers needed to gain better control of the costs and budgets associated with their areas of programme delivery.  However, up until recently, costs had been managed centrally. Project managers were now required to manage their own costs locally using a consistent process and set of documents, one that enabled them to provide accurate costing figures, share information easily and avoid error and duplication.

How We Helped

The project team asked tlmNEXUS to provide a networked system that would enable consistent processes and visibility of supporting data, plus documents that could be produced once but used many times by the stakeholder community.

The initial web-enabled solution delivered a central database of project costs with individual cost records being owned by project desk officers, along with a document management system that allowed stakeholders to publish documents to a global audience.

Value Delivered

The new system allowed project managers to get one clear view of their project costs, share critical information with colleagues at the click of a button and make better decisions regarding project spend. Plus the accurate financial data that was now visible from the bottom up, meant for better visibility and more accurate management information for the senior team.
