=== WorkLenz === |
|||
In April 2012 PMI announced that Sears Holdings Corporation was the recipient of the 2011 PMI Distinguished Project Award for the Business Management System (BMS) V2.0 Transformation program.<br> |
|||
WorkLenz was a web based project portfolio management application with no active controls and no [[persistent cookie]]s.<ref>Levine, Ronda. Bright Hub, (4/2009) [http://www.brighthub.com/office/project-management/reviews/30782.aspx "Review of WorkLenz."]</ref> It was built on the [[.NET Framework]] and was available in two delivery methods: self-hosted or [[software as a service]] (SaaS). WorkLenz enabled the select, control and evaluate process for [[enterprise software]] projects and investments.<ref>Beizer, Doug. [[Washington Technology]], (6/2005) [http://www.washingtontechnology.com/print/20_12/26437-1.html?topic=emerging-tech "Forecast your project."]</ref> |
|||
The BMS V2.0 Transformation program was established in March 2010 in coordination with the Enterprise Project Management Office (ePMO) at Sears and Métier PPM Consultants. The objectives of the program were to complete a successful migration from one PPM tool to Métier’s software solution. <br> |
|||
“''The Business Management System (BMS) V2.0 Transformation program was a remarkable achievement for Sears Holdings Corporation,” said Nancy Bilodeau, director of partnership programs. “We are excited to continue our association with PMI and Métier as we continue to expand our capabilities and learn from the program.''"<ref>{{Cite web |

Margo Visitacion, Vice President of [[Forrester Research]] stated, ''"Métier's history has been primarily in the public sector arena; however, its taxonomy driven approach can help immature organizations across a number of industries start to build better processes and more mature organizations get to the next level. Its WorkLenz product provides collaboration to help users work together more effectively; reporting is robust and easy to access and distribute."''<ref>{{Cite web |

Métier, Limited is a project portfolio management (PPM) company[1] founded in 1998. Métier develops project portfolio management (PPM) software. The company is headquartered in Healdsburg, California.
Company
[edit]Métier develops, manufacturers and maintains proprietary project portfolio management software. Métier's project portfolio management software was formerly known as PPM Central,[2] and before that, was known as WorkLenz.[3] It uses the HTML5 technology.
The Taxonomy tool is an additional functionality, which allows users to explore and navigate their portfolio. The taxonomic structure provides a method for analyzing and reporting on organizational big data. The integrated toolset allows users to derive reports at all levels of the Taxonomy.[4] Métier is using natural language processing to improve project and project portfolio management.[5]
WorkLenz
[edit]WorkLenz was a web based project portfolio management application with no active controls and no persistent cookies.[6] It was built on the .NET Framework and was available in two delivery methods: self-hosted or software as a service (SaaS). WorkLenz enabled the select, control and evaluate process for enterprise software projects and investments.[7]
