Unison Systems offers a unique approach to project success that joins your full-time staff members with Unison consultants, project lead and project management. The blended team can be a powerful alignment of award-winning project management, experience and cost savings. Here are some of the benefits of deploying a blended team:
- Experience: The Unison project manager is both a PMI-certified PM and a bona fide SME in the technology you are deploying. You can be confident that the project is in experienced, knowledgeable hands from the start.
- The Blend: As the project is scoped, the SME works with you to determine where your team members may be inserted into the project plan for maximum effectiveness. You have full insight into the project plan at all times and decisions are made together.
- Mentoring: While your permanent staff members are contributing to reaching the project milestones, they are gaining invaluable knowledge and expertise for post deployment support and/or future projects. Unison differentiates mentoring from training by this "on-the-job" approach.
- Control: You have more control since we're working with you and your team to deliver on-site. You can see what's happening at all times, both on the project plan and in the trenches. Your own skills and experience will be greatly enhanced through this process and that pays huge dividends on your next like project.
- Cost-savings: There are very measurable savings to be had through this approach:
- The SME and lead consultant's experience means the project is very efficient. This means common mistakes that throw most projects off schedule and budget may be easily averted.
- fewer billable consultants due to your staff filling certain positions means bottom-line project savings.
- while your peoples' contributions are saving your organization money, they are getting free, on the job training (mentoring). This saves money vs. expensive formal training.
- By the time the project is complete, your people are experts that can support your own system, rather than outsourcing the support at higher rates.
- project management/SME is flexible - rather than having a full-time PM "living" on-site, the Unison SME is full-time when needed, but can go part-time during certain tasks if you so desire. This helps you reduce your hourly expenditure at those points and ultimately brings the project in at a lower cost.
