Microsoft Highlights Projility’s EPM Solution for Virginia Housing Development Authority

Vienna, VA, February 01, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Virginia housing officials will enjoy more comprehensive resource planning accuracy and improved project oversight with the rollout of Microsoft Project Server 2007 by Projility Inc., an information technology services provider specializing in enterprise project and portfolio management solutions. The case study is being highlighted by Microsoft Corporation as an example of the robust ability of its EPM solutions and the expertise of its partners, at https://www.microsoft.com/casestudies/casestudy.aspx?casestudyid=4000003501.

The Virginia Housing Development Authority (VHDA) is a quasi-governmental organization devoted to helping low to moderate-income Virginians attain quality, affordable housing. The agency’s Information Technology Services (ITS) division wanted the ability to centrally plan for resources across projects. ITS sought a solution that would incorporate raw data, including historical data, to better inform agency decision making. The challenge involved moving away from the manual, disconnected record-keeping systems to a centralized enterprise project management (EPM).

Projility worked with ITS on a strategy to leverage its existing investment in Microsoft Office and SharePoint technologies to develop an integrated EPM system. The solution will help drive increased accountability and better resource planning, which will result in improved customer satisfaction for ITS customers across the business. It will enable ITS to better plan and forecast project work, providing more meaningful insight into the project portfolio.
