CASE STUDY
PPM ENERGY |
|
PPM Energy is an energy services company that provides marketing, balancing, scheduling and transportation management to wholesale and large commercial and industrial customers. PPM Energy also provides marketing and development of wind and thermal energy facilities, shaping and firming, scheduling and transmission management. Their projects focus on identifying, developing and building wind farm sites and facilities. |
| BUSINESS SITUATION |
 PPM Energy’s project managers had worked with a number of project scheduling and management tools. However, they had recently adopted Microsoft® Project 2007 as their single, in-house project scheduling solution. Recognizing the value of focused training, they were looking for instruction and education on using the tool effectively. Given the size and complexity of their wind farm projects, they also needed to learn how to use some of the more advanced features of Microsoft® Project 2007. PPM Energy approached Advisicon to help them learn how to put Microsoft® Project to work for them. |
| SOLUTION DELIVERED |
Advisicon delivered a series of customized, on-site training sessions focused on:
- Applying project management best practices to Microsoft® Project 2007
- Optimizing, linking, and formatting Microsoft® Project 2007 schedules
- Strategic scheduling strategies in Microsoft® Project 2007
Advisicon also provided expert consulting on the development of PPM Energy’s wind farm project template. This template will enable PPM Energy to plan, initiate and manage projects more efficiently and consistently going forward. |
