We are very pleased to announce that IPM Global’s project management suite has been named in Constructech Magazine’s Top Products for 2012. The winners were announced on March 1st and the full list can be found on theConstructech Magazine website.
Can your project management tool expand your capabilities across a number of applications?
I’ve talked often on this blog about the benefits a Microsoft platform can bring to a project management application. As a product certified for Microsoft Dynamics, IPM has been able to use the Microsoft Dynamics platform to build on and create a useful, well designed project management solution that is suitable for a number of industries.
What’s the number one tool project managers use to manage projects?
I just came across this study from Besner and Hobbs on the PMI website, and it was looking at the top 70 tools and techniques project managers use to manage projects in the real world. Interestingly, looking at a broad cross section of project managers from organisations of differing levels of maturity and managing projects of different sizes, one thing remained constant.
IPM can now integrate with Oracle Primavera P6
Here at IPM we’ve been busy developing a new product in the IPM suite; an integration tool for Oracle Primavera P6. As an additional product in the IPM suite, the integration tool gives you the option of extending your project management capabilities by incorporating features from both systems.
4 fail safe ways to effectively manage your projects
Managing projects can often be a very demanding task, one that requires skill, dedication and a very cool head. But there are also a few tips and tricks you can implement to ensure your projects run smoothly.
Why the global marketplace is changing the way we manage projects
If there is anything the global economic crisis has taught us is that there’s no escaping globalisation. Whether we like it or not, the marketplace we operate in is global, and things that happen in one country affect people and organisations in another. No longer are we our own islands, responsible for our own directions, and immune to the decisions of others.
Tracking RFI and RFQ Information with IPM Mail Manager
I’m very pleased to let you know we have recently developed a brand new addition to the IPM Suite called the IPM Mail Manager. As an additional product, the mail manager can extend the capabilities of IPM’s current RFI and RFQ functions, so it works well for both project managers and estimators.
What Microsoft Dynamics CRM brings to the project management table
At the end of last year, I came across a study conducted by Forrester Consulting on The Total Economic Impact of Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011, which was released in May. Looking closely at the findings, they are impressive. So I thought what better way to kick off the New Year than to highlight just how much benefit using a CRM system for your project management needs can give you. If you’re already using Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 with IPM, then rest assured, you’ve made a solid investment. And if you’re not, then perhaps you may have just come across a belated New Year’s resolution?
What would you like to hear on the IPM blog in 2012?
I’ve been writing this blog for over a year now, and we have started to see a steady increase in our readership as the months have gone by. So I thought I’d like to start off 2012 by finding out a little bit about my readers and what sort of topics you’d like to see me cover this year. If you’d like to be involved, I’ve put a super short survey (60 secs tops!) at the bottom of this entry so you can tell me what you’d like to hear in 2012. Be it new IPM product updates, quick guides on how to use a particular feature of IPM or more industry news, let me know! I really appreciate your help for making the IPM Blog bigger and better in 2012.
Merry Christmas from the IPM team
As we near the end of the year and begin winding down for the festive season, I thought I’d take the opportunity to reflect on the year that was for IPM Global.
