| Overview |
| As end user customers of information technology become more experienced and sophisticated about their needs, software vendors and IT service providers are finding themselves under increased pressure to develop better quality applications, and more reliable hardware and networks faster at lower cost. Traditional project management tools developed starting in the mid 1910's with the advent of the Gantt chart followed by the introduction of critical path scheduling and PERT in the 1950's are designed to plan and control less complex and dynamic situations. The IT industry can no longer rely on the extensive time buffering strategies incorporated in traditional project management approaches. As the speed and quality of IT solutions moves ever faster at continuously lower cost, it is imperative that new approaches be adopted.

| Software Development |
To support the lighting fast pace of technology development and fierce competition associated with the design, development, testing and marketing of software applications, many software vendors are adopting new business models, technical approaches such as Software as a Service (SAAS) and more effective means of development including Agile and Scrum. The effective implementation of these approaches based on new paradigms of production management can drastically reduce time and cost while significantly improving quality resulting in competitive advantage.
SPS for Software Development enables the effective and sustainable implementation of these new business models, technologies and development approaches resulting in:
- Reduced development time and faster time to market
- Increased quality and enhanced user experience

| Technology Deployment Programs |
ERP systems, telepresence technologies, and the digitalization of assets are just a few examples of information technologies that will need to be deployed throughout the world and beyond as society continues to adopt information technology and its benefits. Deployment programs present unique challenges from a management perspective. They often consist of a large number of small projects located throughout a geographic region or even the globe and beyond. The ability to effectively integrate technical solutions and synchronize work across the total program is directly related to program outcomes.
SPS for Information Technology Deployments optimizes technology deployment programs by:
- Enabling better control of cost and time
- Enhancing integration and synchronization of work across the total program
- Providing transparency of all levels of activities and the impact on local projects and the total program
