The Total Cost of Ownership

by Valerie Bianco

Is your architectural or engineering firm exasperated with the project management and billing software running on your local server? Want to know what your other options are?

Like you, we are a service firm. You/Your Firm/Projects. Us/TheMintPartnership/Projects.

The distinction in service is why our clients interview and pursue us. A combination of inherent talents and positive results are reputation builders. We achieve that with a program plan that  provides full life cycle Teamworksupport for project centric solutions to include support for application installations, configurations and maintenance. Our team is experienced with the planning and implementation of these installations and integrations, as well as, server and application upgrade and migration plans and strategies. The Mint Partnership continues to support Deltek Sema4, a legacy product.

Our deliverables are benchmarked in a timeline so all team members identified in the RACI Matrix are aware of status. Project status is viewable on our project management site with a client login.  We use a WBS (work breakdown structure), provide progress reports, track benchmarks, identify exceptions, communicate and respond to team members within our project management system. A transparent audit trail that you will keep you in the loop at all times.
