TeamDynamix Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) Software Keeping Syracuse University on Task

Syracuse University Information Technology and Services Group Deploys TeamDynamix to Help Manage Projects, Meet University Goals


COLUMBUS, OH--(Marketwire - December 2, 2008) - TeamDynamix, the leading provider of Web-based project and portfolio management solutions for the higher education market, today announced that Syracuse University (SU) Information Technology and Services (ITS) has deployed TeamDynamix to manage projects and ensure that work gets done on time. TeamDynamix provides the university's CIO and ITS group with a single, centrally located view of the organization's work from budget, resource, and progress perspectives.

In an effort to manage resource allocation in light of increasing workload, SU's ITS evaluated a number of PPM solutions, ultimately determining that TeamDynamix satisfied many of the organization's requirements.

"While we are early in the deployment of the TeamDynamix solution, we like its flexibility and the fact that it will grow with our organization," said Glenda Ranallo, project manager at Syracuse University. "TeamDynamix' support team has been extremely responsive to our needs and readily available throughout the implementation process to answer questions and make changes. As we continue to learn and use all of its capabilities, we see potentials for TeamDynamix to be used widely across the University."

TeamDynamix was developed to meet the specific and unique needs of the higher education IT market, from strengthening the capabilities and strategic role of the CIO, to supporting consensus and committee-based higher education environments. The Web-based solution also simplifies the IT funding process by aligning all IT work and needs with institutional and departmental strategic objectives. With TeamDynamix, SU's ITS management has a clear understanding of all available IT resources for project allocation while individual users each can access a personal dashboard that presents only the projects and information that are relevant to them.

"We designed TeamDynamix so that users, departments and universities can effectively use our solution based upon how they are organized, rather than making them fit into a specific application," said Andrew Graf, lead analyst for TeamDynamix. "Our approach to PPM has been built upon the feedback of our users and our experiences with our customers, which has resulted in a solution that truly addresses the needs of the higher education IT professionals. We appreciate the opportunity to work with Syracuse University in creating an environment for their ITS group where principles of project and portfolio management are applied efficiently and successfully across the organization."
