Planner

Innovative-e transforms work and project management into a competitive advantage with a cloud-based, modern collaboration toolset that engages everyone in your core objectives.  . Our team provides a comprehensive evaluation of the three most critical elements – people, processes, and technology- at stake in your organization.

Innovative-e has leveraged Microsoft 365 and Planner to build solutions in multiple industry verticals, including:

• Manufacturing – Project portfolio and resource management with supporting reporting
• Professional Services – Developed and supported Microsoft 365 productivity hub to manage multiple facets of their business.
• Software Development – Developed a complete solution for managing agile software projects: schedule, resources, and costs resulting in 50% increase in customer satisfaction!

Step 1 –Establish a system foundation to deploy key elements of the CWM platform quickly & efficiently, inclusive of Microsoft technologies capable of supporting the intended outcome. This platform will be configurable and extensible to empower YOU to utilize more capabilities over time as new processes and reporting needs emerge.

Upon completion of the foundation, you will have a working platform. Furthermore, your key personnel will be familiar with the platform’s capabilities and operational components. This reduces the overall build time/duration, facilitates a faster time to ‘go live,’ and magnifies value realization.

After the platform is verified operational, familiarization workshops will be conducted with the associated intended outcomes (please see workshops listed below)

Step 2 - Process Enablement: During this step, IEC will jointly with you to define the finer points of the environment and design during implementation to balance business needs, evolving priorities, timelines, and other factors. We will further work with you to implement these processes and reporting by configuring the system to those needs and training the various users of the system per their role.

Step 3 – Success & Managed Sustainment Services (SMSS): An initial term for SMSS is scoped in this proposal with optional extensions thereafter. Successful technology implementation and adoption depend upon multiple factors, especially new or recent technology. These factors include, but not limited to, internal-customer champions, user community readiness, and organizational change management. SMSS is designed to be a vehicle for post-production support and enhancements.
