PNMsoft’s BPMS Solution SEQUENCE offers Total Cost of Ownership Advantage to Atos Origin’ Project Management Office for Large Government Department in the UK

London, UK , June 9, 2010 PNMsoft’s BPMS Solution SEQUENCE offers Total Cost of Ownership advantage to Atos Origin’ Project Management Office for a large government department in the UK. Atos Origin provides a managed service for the desktop and infrastructure to part of a large government department with over 100,000 staff. As with all government departments, this department expects the Atos Origin Project Management Office (PMO) for the account to deliver to service level targets and improve efficiencies, whilst delivering good service and innovativ solutions to improve the user experience of this department and its agencies. The biggest challenge was a lack of process visibility, management and reporting information for both the client department and Atos Origin, to enable them to track requests for changes to the department’s IT, which emanated from different parts of this major department.

PNMsoft’s BPMS solution, SEQUENCE enabled the use of through process automation and utilising the SEQUENCE reporting and monitoring capabilities enabled the Atos Origin Project Management Office to improve the service delivery performance whilst reducing internal costs and improving the relationship and customer satisfaction. Some of the main benefits of the project were:

• Improved internal PMO communication and collaboration
• Improved real time management and reporting information
• Reduced the administrative and management overhead for the Project and customer
• Reduced administrative overhead costs
• Improved performance of the SLA against contractual KPI’s.
• Released revenue bottlenecks and brought forward revenue and used the SEQUENCE MI for accurate forecasting and planning purposes.
• ROI 1x8 for the PMO.

Atos Origin PMO Director said, "‘ SEQUENCE is ensuring that we track the numerous change requests much more closely and highlight those that are taking longer than they should to transit the approvals process, so we in turn can inform our client both online and one to one, how their requests are progressing.’

Paul Sheridan VP Marketing and Sales of PNMsoft stated "The Request for Change is a fact of life when dealing with large service delivery projects. Manage this process well and the end customer is happy, costs are managed against effective delivery KPI’s, and SLA’s, but get it wrong and customer satisfaction drops, costs go up, collaboration breaks down, and contractual penalties affect the profit and margin on the project.

SEQUENCE provides a total cost of ownership (TCO) advantage to the Atos Origin PMO as SEQUENCE not only performs and reports on the RFC process, but as a Dynamic BPMS platform, SEQUENCE allows the PMO to rapidly build line of business (LOB) applications to support other processes such as case management and quality management processes as well as Bid/Tender management for example. The knowledge transfer around the SEQUENCE product took just a matter of days, and the PMO itself sufficient, again reducing costs of training. The senior PMO management team experienced so many advantages that they have taken the SEQUENCE tool client side and are building and supporting processes with the customer now as part of their innovative Atos Origin service delivery."
