Cost-Effective Primavera P6 EPPM Implementation and Support for a Client

Overview

When a prominent client in the UK sought an efficient and budget-conscious solution for Primavera P6 Enterprise Project Portfolio Management (EPPM) implementation and ongoing support, they engaged Project Infinity Solutions and ImageGrafix Software FZCO. The client’s main goal was to minimize PMO costs without compromising quality—a challenge we were uniquely equipped to meet with our strategic, resource-optimized approach.

Challenges

1. Budget Constraints: The client required a solution that would reduce their PMO expenses while delivering high-quality scheduling and project management support.

2. Efficient Resource Allocation: The project demanded effective, skilled resources capable of handling complex scheduling needs and implementing Primavera P6, with a preference for offshoring to keep costs low.

Solution: Strategic Resource Optimization

Our team conducted an in-depth consultation with the client, assessing their specific needs and identifying areas where costs could be minimized without sacrificing quality. We developed a unique implementation model that leveraged our diverse talent base in the UAE and India. This resource distribution allowed us to execute the project with maximum efficiency, at significantly reduced costs compared to market standards.

Key Components of Our Approach

1. Cost-Effective Resource Placement:

• We strategically deployed our team of skilled consultants based in India and the UAE to handle both implementation and support, taking advantage of lower operating costs in these regions.

• This approach resulted in a 20% reduction in implementation costs compared to typical market rates, making it highly affordable for the client.

2. Optimized Planning Services:

• Following successful implementation, the client requested our support with schedule creation, WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) architecture development, and ongoing monthly updates within Primavera P6.

• By maintaining the same resource strategy, we reduced planning resource expenses by an additional 25% without compromising on quality, far exceeding the cost-efficiency of typical market offerings.

Results

1. Significant Cost Savings:

• Our strategic placement of resources allowed the client to realize substantial savings, with implementation costs reduced by 20% and ongoing planning services costs by 25%.

2. High-Quality Project Management Support:

• Despite the cost savings, our team delivered high-quality, reliable support, ensuring that all deliverables met the client’s stringent standards.

3. Enhanced PMO Efficiency:

• Our efficient, cost-effective model directly contributed to reducing the client’s PMO expenses, enabling them to allocate their budget toward other critical areas of project development.

Conclusion

Project Infinity Solutions and ImageGrafix Software FZCO’s unique, strategic approach proved invaluable to our UK client, demonstrating that high-quality project management solutions don’t have to come at a premium cost. By leveraging our globally distributed resources, we offered the client a tailor-made solution that significantly undercut market rates, positioning us as a cost-effective alternative to traditional PMO support models.
