BOT MENA - Product

In 2002, BOT International pioneered the concept of PMO Architecture and introduced the first product offering for the content assets of a PMO called Processes On Demand.

  Processes On Demand is the market leading PMO Content Asset product. More than 1,000 organization world-wide have implemented Processes On Demand as part of their PMO. Processes On Demand helps to fully use your existing IT infrastructure, project management tools, and share your existing project management knowledge. Effective PMO best practices require that you to integrate your tools into your processes, not the other way around. Processes On Demand enables all involved in the projects of the PMO to speak a common language, follow a common process, and access a singular PMO framework of project management processes, guidance, and subject matter expert knowledge.
     
When it comes to setting up and managing a PMO, more and more organizations are implementing an architecture approach for the PMO consisting of the following key components to the PMO Architecture Layer:
 
  • Project Portfolio Management
    • Microsoft Project Server, CA Clarity, HP PPM, SaaS Appls, etc.
  • Collaboration and Document Management
    • Microsoft SharePoint, IBM Lotus, Documentum, etc.
  • PMO Content Assets
    • BOT International Processes On Demand (Processes, Templates, Policies, Executive Dashboards, etc.)
  • Desktop Project Management Tools
    • MS Project, Open Workbench, etc.

Whether by design or accident, these components exist, to some degree, in every PMO. As a PMO content asset solution, Processes On Demand enables an organization to:

  • Establish and manage its PMO architecture
  • Set up and institutionalize its PMO best practices
  • Implement project management tools and PPM application functionality
  • Fully utilize its existing and supporting IT infrastructure and collaboration platforms
  • Continually apply organizational and project management subject matter expert knowledge

"Processes On Demand enables organizations to continuously improve upon their management of projects. Rather than driven by theoretical vendor maturity model programs and costly consulting services, Processes On Demand enables organizations to execute a practical mix of internal mentoring, coaching, and training and external consulting and training in response to real needs and pressing organizational constraints."

- Bernie Keh, President, BOT International
 

Testimonials

"Processes On Demand far exceeds other vendor products and consulting offerings we evaluated. The Processes On Demand PMO Content Assets are intuitive, based on de facto standards and commercial approaches, and very easy to setup, use, and update. There are multiple views and ways to use Processes On Demand from managing a project, managing the portfolio, to self-based learning and management directed training. The various templates are help enabled and of the highest quality; simply better than what can be purchased from others."

-- Chief Information Officer

"We thought we had a portfolio management process since we purchased a portfolio management system. We were wrong. We still had quite a bit of work to do. The Processes On Demand portfolio management process provided us with an easy to use process that works with our PPM system that we can all access and abide by."
