KLR together with our partners Microsoft and Softchoice delivered a very successful and well received briefing entitled “Supercharge Project Team Performance” to 27 local business people. The presentation focused on showing how Microsoft’s Enterprise Project Management tools can help organizations transform their project management environment from silos of data to a collaborative structure. An overview of the features and functionality was delivered in a live systems environment and further explored more advanced topics such as configuration and administrative functions as well as discussed best practices for implementation. The presentation garnered top marks from most participants in the evaluations, and inspired several clients to move forward with Project Server. Microsoft has asked KLR to offer this briefing again.
