Enterprise Program Management

Enhance your Program and Resource Management discipline by leveraging LMR Solutions’ award winning Integrated Enterprise Program Management (iEPM) solution to standardize and manage your Integrated Master Plans/Proposals (IMP), Integrated Master Schedules (IMS) and Earned Value Management (EVM) reporting.

Companies are faced with challenges on multiple fronts and recognize the value and importance of systemization, efficiency, and scalability. Companies are realizing that programs such as new ship, airplane and weapon technology development are becoming more prohibitively costly and time-consuming, it is critical for companies to be able to rapidly develop new design and technology innovations, capture and reuse product and process knowledge, and substantially shorten the overall IMP to IMS lifecycle. To make it even more complicated, companies must operate within a globally disparate environment, and must be able to collaborate with partners, suppliers, and customers.

An Integrated Enterprise Program Management (iEPM) approach which utilizes best of breed systems and best practice program management and delivery services will be a critical backplane for the collaborative IMP > IMS Lifecycle. Additionally, there are other critical factors forcing companies to take an Integrated Enterprise Program Management approach.
