The services from De Moer Project Services BV can be divided into three main activities. De combining factor is the business approach that is used for each of these activities. De Moer Project Services is a specialist in the areas Logistic, Sales and IT. Projects performed by De Moer are always focused on improving the business processes and the supporting information systems. Most of the time these projects require a mix between changing or educating people and making adjustments to the system. That is why consultants of De Moer are generalists through both experience and education.
1) Project Management
Implementing a new information system is not an every day job for most companies. For a successful implementation it is of great importance that targets and goals are clearly formulated in advance, the right decisions are being made during the project and that all people involved fulfil their tasks in time. For this a realistic project planning is required. During the project, the chosen approach needs to be respected, up until the completion of the project.
Both the progress of the project and its degree of success are to be visualized clearly. This requires relevant, and above all measurable targets to be defined before the start of the project. In practice, this often appears to be a hard task to perform. De Moer offers support with defining these targets.
When performing project management, De Moer Project Services is not only monitoring the project planning and the way people live up to it. Though creating a feasible project plan is a vital pre-condition for a successful project, it is only one aspect of the services that De Moer provides
A project is split up in clear-cut stages. The methodology by which the project will be performed is determined in mutual agreement. Quite often either the supplier or the customer of a new information system has a preference for using a specific methodology. De Moer Project Services has experience in working according to several methodologies and is therefore able to work according to the methodology of your preference.
Many of the problems that are reported with IT projects find their cause in communication problems. A project manager of De Moer is trained to recognize these problems and to solve them.
Another aspect of the service provided when hiring a project manager of De Moer is the time effort that these kind of projects request from the Management. As managing a company is often already more than just a full day job, the extra work involved with implementation projects often causes problems. A project manager from De Moer is used to operate on Management level and is as such able to reduce the workload of the companies Management enormously.
2) Programme Management
An important development within automation is the introduction of open systems. No longer are companies obliged to buy the entire information system with one single supplier. Now the option is offered to obtain 'best of breed' software. The big advantage of this is that one can construct a system with only positive points, without having to settle for compromises. Some suppliers have created a clear trend with this for both larger systems as well as for systems suitable for mid sized and smaller companies. A downside to this is that the complexity of the implementation project will most likely increase. For one, discussions with several suppliers will have to be held. Also, the total information system will only suffice when each of its building elements operates the way it should.
Programme Management adapts to this issue. Next to completing the different sub-projects, special attention is given to the integration of these sub-projects. De Moer Project Services focuses on the fine-tuning and integration of the different parts. This involves the infra structure, hardware, possibly middle ware and software of the different suppliers. Programme Management will enforce that all the different parts will develop in the right way and will prevent the stagnation of part-processes that have been set up with different suppliers.
3) Project Audits
How well is the information system functioning? What is the progress of the project? An answer to these questions will be found when performing an audit with De Moer Project Services.
In the case of system audits, the investigation is primarily focused on the effectiveness of the information system. The most important question in this case is: "Does the system do what is required". A second focus will be put on the efficiency of the system. This can be used as an indicator as to how long the system still can fulfil the requirements.
For these audits De Moer Project Services has also chosen for the business approach. De effectiveness of a system is determined through the contribution of the system to the functioning of the organization. The information technology that is used, will, for a great deal, determine the reliability of the system. That is why the audit of the systems is performed in this order.
Project Audits will give a clear view on the set up and progress of the project. By making the progress of a project measurable, an objective view is acquired on where the project stands. De Moer Project Services has extensive experience in both performing as well as managing projects. This experience has resulted in a pragmatic approach of handling projects and especially when auditing one.
