Higher Education

Project Management Software Supporting the Future

As technology matures there is a movement with higher education institutions to constantly seek the best strategies to grow their organization and services for their students and staff to maintain their competitive advantage in the market place. At the center of this movement, lies the CIO and PMO leaders who are challenged with cutting costs while optimizing existing and new IT investments and projects. As a result, higher education institutions are faced with a highly demanding project environment that requires IT and the PMO to keep their eyes on cost while delivering top notch service to both students and staff. Whether it is Information Technology and CapEx projects or Services and Compliance projects, project teams in higher education are seeking to build best practices in these areas to be applied to the various stakeholders and departments they serve.

Genius Project supports higher education institutions with its flagship project and portfolio management (PPM) software Genius Project delivering better collaboration and visibility across project activities, portfolios, resource utilization and documents facilitating the tracking and reporting of project progress and costs.
