SPI makes available, its expertise in managing offshore based projects using multiple vendors and stakeholders in different locations. Central to this offering is SPI's Enterprise Project management tool spiProject^®

SPI's project management philosophies are governed by standards established by industry pioneers and leaders such as the Project Management Institute (PMI).  Each development procedure that is implemented is carefully examined to ensure that it adds value and reduces cost.  Once processes are identified and locked down for a project, SPI strictly adheres to its methodology for successful completion.  All projects have published quality objectives that make sense to the customer, ensuring that continuous process improvement is achieved.

Building on these key competencies, SPI specifically differentiates itself in the managed services arena through the following:

Additionally, we offer a deep, rich pool of PMI-certified Project Managers upon which we can draw.

We utilize proven project management methodologies to successfully deliver projects.   SPI's project management methodologies are built around guidelines established by the Project Management Institute and the Software Engineering Institute.

SUCCESS TEAM - SPI assigns a local account team of IT professionals including a 'customer champion' who works closely with the customer executive team to ensure that the business objectives of the customers are met.  The members of the local account team typically include specialists in specific verticals as well as managers familiar with offshore relationships.   Their readily available presence helps overcome many of the issues faced by companies using other offshore development firms.
