Project Management
IEM’s approach to project management has been refined by years of developing our own brand of sophisticated information technology products. We apply these same rigorous practices to deliverables for our customers resulting in high-quality, customer-responsive service. The hallmark of IEM’s approach is understanding the essential underlying goals of our clients—what needs to be done—and then choosing the optimal mix of people, processes, and technology to accomplish it, completing the project on time and on budget. Our experience makes us knowledgeable; applying best practices makes us effective.
Our people.
Our people are exceptionally qualified and experienced. As a research-based organization, IEM’s large staff, including many advanced degreed professionals, routinely analyzes and refines corporate processes through multiple feedback loops during project implementation and lessons-learned post-completion. All of our customers benefit through IEM's continuous exercising of best practices.
Our process.
IEM’s project management process represents best practices derived from more than two decades in the high stakes IT world of emergency management, homeland security, and defense support. Our projects are characterized by consistent high performance, exceptional quality, and cost-effectiveness. We use a business-centered and communication-based approach to project/program management that focuses beyond simply meeting budget and schedule constraints with acceptable quality.
IEM carefully determines best-of-breed technologies, ensuring that all quality, schedule, and cost goals are met on behalf of our customers. Our solutions are outcome-focused and based on clear, customer-defined measurable objectives.
Superior ratings, return business.
By effectively managing critical resources on behalf of our customers, we consistently achieve superior customer ratings and a high volume of repeat business. Our project management services represent best practices defined by process-sponsoring and certifying organizations such as the Project Management Institute, Software Engineering Institute, IEEE, and other respected resources for guiding principles of project management and quality assurance.
To every project, IEM brings policies and procedures that have been tested and improved through real-world, practical experience. While well-defined and tracked to assure adherence to our management principles, our procedures nonetheless remain flexible enough to respond to changing requirements and the environment.
