IHS' standard, repeatable processes help you manage your information systems projects. We can direct projects through the planning process, helping you outline required tasks and resources. We can help you execute and monitor the plan, reporting on progress, managing costs and implementing change control as necessary. IHS' methodology includes standard templates and examples for complex scope documents, project charters, budgets and test scripts. Our templates also include simple but necessary documents for task definition, status reporting, meeting agendas/minutes, change control and issue tracking. IHS provides a multi-faceted approach to project management, successfully migrating a project from evaluation and planning, to implementation through organizational adoption and sustainability.

Strategic Project Development
Ensuring your organization's success requires an understanding of the interim, short- and long-term strategic goals and objectives. Working with your executive team, IHS can develop a project plan blueprint formatted to monitor, measure, and ensure that your IT objectives and direction align with the organization's strategic plan.

Enterprise Project Management Solutions
IHS routinely provides Enterprise Project Management for multi-product and/or multi-facility projects. Our project management consultants have expertise in managing multiple applications and experience with the challenges of multi-facility implementations. As part of these implementations, IHS can facilitate standardization of system data and parameters across multiple markets within an organization. Our emphasis is on ensuring current decisions consider future facilities and product implementations.

A Standard Approach to Project Management
IHS provides a standard project management methodology to:

1. Eliminate wasted time resulting from "reinventing the wheel"—spending time    determining how we are  going to run this project rather than spending time    doing the project
2. Clearly define expectations in a format that is understandable and consistent
3. Ensure an integrated, collaborative approach for IHS and our clients
4. Provide the necessary information for decisions
5. Insert management-desired checkpoints into the project process
6. Ensure projects are aligned with your strategic objectives
7. Use IHS, your resources and your dollars efficiently
8. Allow for comprehensive identification of costs, benefits and risks
9. Ensure standardized internal and external communication throughout the life    of the project
10. Create synergy between IHS resources and your employees

Our project managers provide planning, organization and resource management for successful completion of specific project goals and objectives within scope, on time and within budget.
