2009-11-10 14:57:43 - Helping to meet today's corporate governance challenges

Enterprise project management expert Program Framework is teaming up with leading risk management software creator, Strategic Thought, to offer a one-stop solution to help meet today’s corporate governance challenges.

The partnership will combine the proven track record of Strategic Thought’s Active Risk Manager (ARM) with Program Framework’s expertise in Microsoft Enterprise Project Management to deliver an integrated approach to enterprise risk management (EPM).

“We are delighted to be working with Strategic Thought – it’s a perfect partnership because Active Risk Manager has long been the chosen risk management solution in many of our customers’ industries,” explained Paul Major, chief executive of Program Framework, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner.

“It brings together two widely used solutions to create a logical step

forward in the management of risk, projects and programmes right across an organisation. It is well timed as we are seeing a dramatic adoption of EPM as well as customers’ vision for a risk adjusted view of their project portfolio.”

The web-based ARM solution for enterprise-wide risk management is already designed to work with Microsoft Project, but by the end of this year it will be upgraded to interface direct with Microsoft Project Server.

“At the same time, we can help Program Framework’s customers to improve their maturity of enterprise programme management by offering them a critical dimension in today’s world – robust dynamic risk management.”

The partnership will also harness both parties’ extensive experience in the energy and power generation sectors to provide customers in these industries with a complete, evolutionary and future-proof portfolio management solution.
