Federal agencies are under pressure to demonstrate that they effectively manage taxpayer dollars. The United States Office of Management and Budget (OMB) requires that agencies standardize their Earned Value Management (EVM) implementation for all major federal government acquisitions, including Information Technology (IT) services. Collecting EVM data is difficult and time consuming, which explains why many agencies have adopted solutions from Microsoft and their Certified Partners. The Microsoft Enterprise Project Management (EPM) Solution, coupled with Safran for Microsoft Office Project, simplifies data collection, reduces the time necessary for reporting, and provides the audit capabilities required by the OMB. This webcast shows how to implement this solution by focusing on business rules and system setup.
