Cobblestone Consulting Inc. Among First EPM Live Certified Partners

February 11,2013


Cobblestone Consulting Inc. becomes one of the first Certified Partners of PPM industry leader EPM Live.

Cobblestone Consulting Inc., announced today they are officially a EPM Live Certified Partner. Cobblestone covets this prestigious certification and working relationship with EPM Live, a global leader of cloud-based Project Portfolio and Work Management software built on the Microsoft® SharePoint platform.

Project and portfolio management (PPM) software, which helps organizations improve business performance and accelerate results, is a multi-billion dollar global market. The cloud-based segment of PPM is forecasted to grow at a 40% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the next five years. By using PPM software, managers are able to gain enhanced visibility into a corporation's global portfolio of all corporate initiatives and projects. Stakeholders are better able to align the portfolio with the organization's strategic objectives, maximize benefits across the portfolio while balancing supply (human resources, time or money) with demand (investments, programs, projects and unplanned work). PPM software enables the project workforce to increase productivity and proactively address project emergencies and changes to the existing and planned project pipeline triggered by shifts in business direction.

œEPM Live is a strong complementary fit with Cobblestone's existing Project Portfolio Practice, said Laurie Bacopoulos, Founder and CEO of Cobblestone Consulting, Inc. œBased on a recent assessment conducted by our firm, we uncovered the top 5 Project Portfolio Management issues; Governance, Enterprise Wide Collaboration, Ease of Use, Visibility of Projects, and Capacity vs. Demand. We felt that EPM Live strengthened our implementation efforts to solve those business problems.

The certification process is a landmark achievement for the EPM Live partner program. Certified Partners have a larger product knowledge base allowing for more efficient deployments for EPM Live customers. œThe Partner Certification Program allows EPM Live customers to experience top notch deployments and support from local EPM Live experts. Cobblestone Consulting is recognized for their strategic approach of implementing Project Portfolio Management, working with their clients to provide a holistic view of investments in their organization. Cobblestone embodies every essence of the Partner Program, and we are very excited to have them on board as a certified partner, said Matt Wilson, Director of EPM Live Partner Strategy.
