Engineering

In today’s project-oriented engineering market, increased competition has resulted in smaller and smaller profit margins. One failed project in this environment can result in the loss of an entire year’s profit. To mitigate this risk, it is imperative that a disciplined project portfolio management (PPM) process be implemented and maintained.

A sound PPM process enables engineering firms to manage their portfolio of projects across internal and external global teams, and it allows for standardization and rapid decision-making. PPM ultimately helps engineers avoid surprises, thereby maximizing return on investment by ensuring projects continuously support the manufacturer’s strategic goals and objectives.

Dekker offers a wide range of education, consulting services and products that enable engineering enterprises to implement and maintain a disciplined PPM process. Our PPM solutions can help expedite project management, idea management, risk management, resource allocation and collaboration.
