“Your engineer was very knowledgeable and was well received by the user community. He executed the rollout plan with great efficiency and professionalism. An added bonus to us was that he was able to help us refine our deployment methodology and documentation as we proceeded with the rollout. Thanks again for a job well done.”

Project Management There are many situations in which an outside partner can be a value add during an IT project. Whether your staff is busy with other initiatives, or your department lacks in-house expertise in the technologies involved, or your priority is to work on other things, the CIS project management team has the resources to fully manage a project for you and your business. CIS takes a holistic approach to project management, in which various elements of a project’s lifecycle – from planning, to lab-testing, to implementation, to production-testing – are overseen by a single project manager to whom all of the engineers and specialists are accountable. This ensures a single point-of-contact throughout the process of working on your project, as well as ensuring that someone on our team is aware of every aspect of your project from start to finish. Our approach to managing a project avoids the two traps which are common in undertaking new IT initiatives – the “build and pray” model, in which the project is undertaken without adequate preparation ahead of time, and the “analysis paralysis” model, in which planning and strategizing are held to be so paramount that the project does not progress in a timely fashion. The CIS approach is to begin with a thorough and comprehensive plan, start undertaking the project, and dynamically adapt the plan as unknowns enter the equation. This ensures that your project will not only be accomplished successfully, but that it will be completed in a timely fashion.
