QuantumPM, LLC, Announces CIO, Kris Athey, Selected to Speak at the Microsoft Project Conference 2012

ENGLEWOOD, Colo., March 14, 2012 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Today QuantumPM, LLC, announced that CIO, Kris Athey, has been selected to present at the Microsoft Project Conference 2012 in Phoenix, Arizona on the topic of Innovation Process Management (IPM).

Kris's presentation will focus on "Planning Innovation Adoption with IPM: Tips for a Successful Pilot".

"We are very happy to be able to share the IPM solution capabilities at the Microsoft Project Conference 2012," says Rose Blackburn, CEO of QuantumPM. "The solution has proven to provide an excellent return on investment for our customers because it allows them to capitalize on the great ideas of their people and bring the best ideas to fruition through the discipline of Project Server."

Innovation is the conversion of knowledge and ideas into new or improved products, processes, and services to gain a competitive advantage.  A successful pilot is critical to expedite the establishment of a new innovation process in a company. The pilot must be planned from technical and business cultural aspects so that it successfully resonates with users and overcomes latent disincentives. In this session, Kris will use the IPM Solution Accelerator as the base for the Pilot discussion to demonstrate how quickly the solution can be put in place to provide a useable system.

By the end of the session, participants will understand the benefits of managing innovation and the relationship of success to proper communication, be able to set pilot boundaries for success, and identify 3 planning areas directly related to success. The 75 minute session will include a live demonstration with a question and answer period.

"QuantumPM provides a valuable solution," said Jan Kalis, senior product marketing manager at Microsoft Corp. "Microsoft is excited to be working with QuantumPM to offer customers an innovative Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft Project Server 2010 solution to enable a creative approach with Microsoft Project."
