Program (or Programme) Management

Program Management, or ‘Programme Mangement’ as it is sometime called, is the process of managing several related projects, often with the intention of improving an organization’s performance. Compared to a project which is aimed to deliver direct output, a program has the objective to deliver a more visionary business oriented outcome, a higher goal for your organization, which sometime is less tangible and is more about selling the longer term outcome, or selling the ‘dream’ as we call it.

When managing multiple related projects within a program, you will run into new challenges. In many occasions a program requires a larger project organization, and the information coming from the separate projects needs to be consolidated so that it becomes easier to make decisions and align the projects. Besides bringing the information together, you will also run into practical matters like the construction and maintenance of an integrated planning (both detailed and high-level) and the management of cross-project risks, issues, and dependencies. And finally yet importantly, all the projects members, stakeholders and the end user organization need to be reminded constantly of the higher goal that we are striving for. Communication and Change Management is of key importance to the success of a program, and we will stand on stage to tell what’s coming.

We can write pages about Program Management, but bottom line we, at BTRPR, know how to organize and manage programs. We can advise you on how to best organize your programs, by either creating a program around a higher goal, or by managing the projects as a portfolio, whatever fits your needs.

SAP Projects

As there is a difference between Program and Project Management, so is there a difference between SAP projects and other IT projects. In our experience SAP is a world on its own, as the software of SAP works in a particular way, the possibilities are endless, and SAP consultants are trained to work in certain ways.

Over the last years we have specialized ourselves in SAP projects, and we have been involved and advised on implemention of several SAP products like SAP ERP Central Component (ECC), SAP Policy management, SAP NetWeaver Process Orchestration (PO/PI/XI), SAP Cloud for Customer (C4C), SAP Content Server, SAP Business Warehouse, Business Objects and many more. We have also been involved in integrating SAP solutions with other software like ReadSoft Invoice for OCR, ReadSoft PR/PO for web based Purchase Order creation, Adobe forms for custom output, Nicelabel for barcode printing and more.

Besides implementation of software, the projects always came with a high number of interfaces with legacy systems, and know how you can best manage upgrades and virtualization projects. 

As you can image, we know SAP and we are able to advise and steer your SAP project in the right direction using traditional project methods like PRINCE2 or proven SAP implementation methods like classic ASAP, ASAP Agile, or a combination of methods. Interested in our services, do not hesitate to contact us.

Project Controlling

The Project Management Triangle contends that the quality of projects is constrained by budget, deadlines and scope. In larger scale programs and projects managing the budget and/ or any budget deviations are complex tasks, which need full-time attention.

We have extensive experience in controlling projects, and are specialized in calculating your project financial result, setting up and managing the budget of large programs and projects within various industries like banking, construction and IT.  We do not do this by just looking at the numbers, but we make sure to overlook your complete project organization, so that we become aware of everything that is going on. This enables us to identify possible financial opportunities and risks in the earliest stage, and gives you the possibility to mitigate some of these risks.
