Why use QPM?

To be successful, Innovation processes must create directed opportunities for innovation, provide selection methods to cull the best submissions and then analyze the company benefits of a select set of candidates to obtain a final set of submissions worthy of further funding. Every idea submission represents an opportunity, but not all opportunities are equal or even beneficial when measured in a company context.

* The IPM Accelerator installs as an add-in solution to a SharePoint Enterprise farm and extends to Microsoft Project Server if it is installed on the farm. The SharePoint solution provides a "Challenge" based innovation marketing, submission, and socialization system with ranking and initial idea lifecycle flow and management. If Microsoft Project Server is installed as an integrated component, evolved/selected ideas are promoted into Project Server projects where Project Server excels at flexible workflows in support of Business Case development, true Portfolio selection and Project Execution management.

QuantumPM and Microsoft continue to enhance the base IPM Accelerator and QuantumPM provides custom IPM add-ins and services. QuantumPM offers end-to-end development, management and support services for IPM and Project Portfolio Management (PPM). Our support services help reduce downtime, eliminate complexity, ensure compliance and reduce legal risk.
