There are a number of reasons one would hire a Project Management company. Here are some of the most important ones:
Project Management is a very broad field with a number of industries, systems and methodologies. There can be a lot of headache trying to find the right Project Managers to keep on payroll, they might not be as experienced or knowledgeable as you expected. Then after you keep them around for their probation period, you find out those months were wasted as they weren’t as knowledgable as your first began. More importantly, your project is now months behind. A dedicated and experienced Remote Project Management team can utilize their experience to complete your project(s) without the “probation time period”, wasted payroll costs and more importantly, no wasted time.
Another example might be if your company does not specialize in that field and you do not have the technical expertise to handle the vendor. Ever worked with an IT company and felt they were speaking Greek? How many hours or days or even weeks were lost in translation because you couldn’t understand what the IT team was doing? We remove the time and complication by running that project, regardless of the size, and acting as the dedicated Project Management team to get progress from the IT team while keeping things simple and clear cut for the Owner. This results in faster project completion with no lost time due to miss-communication and confusions.
Let’s say you are opening a new office but you already have an ongoing operation that cannot be stopped. There are a lot of moving parts involved with multiple industries and people. Your new office might need construction, office furniture purchased and set-up, a new server, computers and cables run. Not to mention commercial printers, new website and /or marketing materials to highlight the expansion, moving all the employees with minimal down-time, etc… Such a project requires a dedicated team to ensure everything is properly planned and executed. Attempting to do this yourself without proper planning and Project Management skills could result in significant delays and even losses in current business. All of that adds up to wasted resources, lost income and added time. Having a dedicated Project Management team will free up your executives’ time to focus on on-going operations while their projects are completed in the background by a competent team.
