03/24/2009

New Instantis Mediacast Features Leading IT Industry Analyst Firm

Santa Clara, CA (PRWEB) March 24, 2009 -- The world of traditional project portfolio management software is colliding with the new world of on-demand Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions. The economic benefits of the on-demand model are making on-demand solution providers more attractive in today's business climate. Is now the right time to consider an on-demand project portfolio management (PPM) solution?
    
A new mediacast available for immediate download aims to answer this question. The program entitled "The Time is Right for On-Demand PPM" features analyst firm, Gartner, Inc., and Instantis, a leading provider of on-demand PPM solutions. Opinion leaders from both firms - including Gartner research vice president, Matt Light -- provide insight on the key technologies and business trends surrounding project portfolio management and the accelerating trend towards on-demand solutions that support multiple project portfolio types in a single system. Additional topics addressed in this program include:

  • On-demand PPM benefits
  • On-demand cost-structure advantage
  • Is on-demand PPM the right choice for my organization
  • Critical success factors for any PPM deployment
  • The state-of-the-art EnterpriseTrack™ PMO Edition project and portfolio management system from Instantis that enables more, higher value projects to be completed faster with existing resources.

"Software-as-a-Service project and portfolio management systems have come of age," according to Daniel Stang, Gartner principal research analyst covering PPM applications. "They can provide visibility for enabling a project organization to increase its proactive management of project demand against available resources of time, people and money."

"In today's difficult economic environment, you can't afford to proliferate on-premise PPM solution silos. You can't afford to make investments in complex ERP-like PPM software, only to find that the system takes too long to deploy, is too difficult to use and administer, and, as a result, is not being adopted," added Instantis CEO, Prasad Raje. "You need a single on-demand system like Instantis EnterpriseTrack™ PMO Edition to manage multiple project portfolio types including IT, new product development, process improvement and more."
