Open your eyes to effective project & resource management

If project and resource management is to be effective in delivering real value to the business, public sector organisations must be able to see the bigger picture.

Following the publication of the Operational Efficiency Programme (OEP) review earlier this year, it was claimed that the UK public sector could reduce around 20% of its current annual IT spend by 2014.

Over the last 10 years the Government has introduced a number of programmes and processes to make the most of public spending and to deliver efficient and effective services.

The Efficiency Programme advocates the cost effective and efficient delivery of projects. Productive Time is an important part of the Efficiency Programme with the key message being to ‘work smarter’, while the Demand Management programme looks to optimise internal resources and remove any unnecessary consumption.

Using a live central database, Asta Teamplan provides complete visibility over all projects and resources empowering managers to make the right decisions based on facts. Using Asta Teamplan's intuitive skills search tool resources can be accurately allocated based on skills, location, availability and cost.

Graphical histograms clearly show both current and future workloads making demand management simple. The integrated web-based timesheet tool, Asta Timesheet, facilitates improved time reporting creating tighter controls over the cost and delivery of your projects.

Asta Development are participating in the forthcoming Operational Efficiency Conference 09 and the Project & Programme Management 2009 event. Focussing on the back office and IT element of these programmes, we will be discussing how an integrated project and resource management system can play an integral part in public sector organisations (PSO) achieving these goals.

An independent white paper, commissioned by Wired-Gov - 'Working Smarter' with Project & Resource Management is also available at these events.
