Tata Consultancy Services, a leading global IT services and consulting firm, recently announced that they are one of Microsoft’s first solution partners to develop Enterprise Project Management (EPM) solutions built on the forthcoming Microsoft Office Project 2007 platform.
The TCS-Microsoft EPM Solutions will address project planning, definition, execution, management, measurement and tracking needs for businesses. Most importantly, it offers customized niche solutions for Six Sigma deployment.
This is another software that Six Sigma practitioners can use for their projects.
Overall, the new solutions include:
- Project Portfolio Management: incorporates recognized project management methodologies with portfolio management views that enable executives/managers to quantitatively assess and rank potential projects based on corporate strategy, set realistic expectations, and significantly increase the success rate of projects.
- New Store Opening: enables retailers to meet aggressive store opening deadlines, better manage project teams, and reduce costs along the way. The solution simplifies the management of multi-site retail projects, increases efficiency and boosts profitability.
- Tata SigmaXTM: helps organizations deploy quality management rapidly and consistently by mapping the robust technologies of the Microsoft Office Enterprise Project Management (EPM) platform to the Six Sigma quality management methodology.
Incidentally, TCS was also awarded as Company of the Year Award by Frost & Sullivan.
