Microsoft Project Online
Visibility and Business Agility using Project Online
Thought leaders in Online Portfolio Project Management
We have been practitioners and thought leaders from the very beginning of Online Portfolio Project Management.
As a Microsoft Silver Partner, CCG has innovated to extend the capability of Project Online. With a focus on user adoption, CCG provides training, capability uplift, configuration, and administration services.
Commencing our implementation using our ‘concept of operations’ model, focuses the solution on business readiness from a process and maturity perspective. Our training is a key differentiator, combining tools and process change rather than generic “vanilla” courses.
