LEVEL 5 PARTNERS ANNOUNCES PROJECT AND PROJECT PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT EDUCATION PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM

Iselin, NJ - April 6, 2006
- Level 5 Partners, an emerging provider of enterprise PMO software, today announced the creation of an Education Partnership Program. The Education Partnership Program entitles qualified institutions to participate in an offering that includes end-to-end Project and Portfolio Management software and PMO implementation services at significantly discounted prices. This comprehensive PMO solution includes mentoring and guidance that is specifically customized for education institutions as well as usage of L5P's Virtual Program Management Office (vPMO). The vPMO, is an intuitive web-based Program Management Office providing: Project Portfolio Management, Resource Management, Day-to-day Project Management, Post Project Support, and Knowledge Management. The new program is based on a successful pilot program that included multiple US Universities.

One of the pilot universities remarked:

"Level 5 Partners has provided excellent assistance to Georgia State as we have embarked on utilizing project management methodologies throughout Information Systems and Technology in order to offer better management and accountability to our customers. The vPMO product is very easy to use and due to its modularity, we have been able to "start small" and add PM components in an evolutionary manner. As our ability to embrace more functionality expands, vPMO provides that functionality. A key undertaking by Level 5 was the development of time reporting functionality within vPMO. This is something that executive management needed and the delivery of this component will help the organization show its value to our customers." - Georgia State University


This specific offering helps institutions:

  • Optimize enterprise-wide resource utilization
  • Drive integrated decision making
  • Mitigate Risks and Manage Changes
Most important about the offering is that it takes real world experience gained from working with existing higher education institutions and makes it available to the larger higher education audience.
