MOTOR Information Systems is Semi-Finalist in 2012 PM Solutions PMO of the Year Awards

TROY, Mich., Sept. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- MOTOR Information Systems announced today that has been named as a semi-finalist in the Project Management (PM) Solutions 2012 Project Management Office (PMO) of the year awards.

MOTOR was acknowledged for the successful implementation and integration of the PMO function and supporting processes into its organization.  The PMO played an integral role in cross-functional initiatives that expanded MOTOR's capabilities across the organization. These included establishing two processes that addressed major areas of difficulty: resource management and the integration of acquisitions. The resource allocation methodology established a process for managing resource distribution to ensure all resources are 100% allocated. The acquisition integration process began by integrating a distributed group into the core business processes and established a framework for future acquisitions.

The 2012 Project Management Office of the Year Award is presented in recognition of excellence and innovation in developing and maturing an organizational structure to support the effective management of projects. It is a showcase for PMOs that have demonstrated vision and business acumen in implementing new ideas, methods, or processes that led to measurable improvements in project management realizing tangible business benefits for their organizations.

"It's through hard work and executive support that we are lauded by PM Solutions as 'very impressive' with our product and project management practices," said Nicole McIlwain MOTOR PMO Manager.

Other semi-finalists include T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless, Tranasmerica Life Canada and VSP Vision Care.
