Speaking Engagement: Investing in Project-Based Solutions to Weather the Current Economic Climate

December 8, 2008

Exclusive Webinar Invitation

Guest Speaker :

R "Ray" Wang, Forrester Research, Vice President & Principal Analyst
Project-based solutions (PBS) adoption continues to be driven by specific microverticals in professional services, construction, real estate, and the public sector. A worsening economic climate ups the ante on features that enforce compliance and efficiency. The preference for comprehensive solutions will drive demand for tools that apply program management techniques, deliver on integration and collaboration, and provide new deployment options.
Enterprises considering solutions along the project life cycle should seek industry-specific solutions from vendors who embrace the vision of a world built around projects.
Join us on December 10, 2008 to learn how project-based solutions can help weather the current economic climate.

We will discuss:

Business drivers to focus on compliance and efficiency
Solutions to address broader project-based requirements
PBS to complement program discipline
Clients seeking deeper integration and collaboration
Hybrid deployment options emerging to reduce costs
And a brief demo of how the Tenrox Project Workforce Management solution addresses these issues and concerns

Who Should Attend:
Senior executives at VP, CIO, and Director levels interested in project management applications or in charge of implementing and maintaining processes, recognizing revenue, compliance with global labor laws, optimizing business processes and their speed, and optimizing resource deployment and sourcing.
