Introducing proRM – Technical Webcast Project and Resource build on MS Dynamics CRM 1
proRM is designed for project-oriented professional service organizations and departments of each size. The success of these companies primarily depends on the expertise of its employees. Furthermore, efficient project management is key to economical success. However, the administration effort required for activity recording, project controlling and project settlement, etc. plays an important role. Most companies use more than one application which often do not sufficiently meet the requirements:
• Project times which are often entered in spreadsheets need to be consolidated manually when the project is settled.
• In many cases, it is not possible to perform any unscheduled analyses so that as a consequence project leaders are not able to obtain up-to-date information.
Project management turns out to be too time-consuming for a huge number of companies. Any negative deviations are noticed later on or, in some cases, are even noticed too late.
The proRM Skill Management, Project Planning and Project Settlement functionalities are perfectly aligned with each other thus building an integrated process without any gaps or media disruptions. Distinctive project controlling features allow the users to gain comprehensive insight into each project phase. Also, the system’s easy-to-use interface guarantees a high user acceptance a unique combination of CRM, Human Resources und Project Management.
The right personnel at the right time
An optimized project team member assignment builds the foundation for a successful project. In order to ensure that project teams meet the requirements, proRM provides respective staff management functionalities which are mainly focused on supporting skill management features.
• Project leaders can easily find the appropriate employees by using the full-text search option
• Based on an employee’s skills, hourly rates, and working hours, a preselection can be easily made.
• Additional information such as predefined roles or team memberships simplifies the process of assigning employees to projects.
This allows to ensure that even large and international data pools remain manageable.
Efficient Project Management
proRM and Microsoft Dynamics CRM® provide all elements required for project planning via one platform: customers, employees, projects, and processes. Central data management enables companies to be better informed and to respond more quickly to any project deviations:
• Integrated processes ensure transparency and security
• No duplicates
• No need to switch between the applications
• No manual consolidation required
• Direct access to relevant project data
Specific connectors enable to combine proRM with other applications in a comfortable way. For instance, projects may be created based on Microsoft Project planning data and be imported back into Microsoft Project including additional project cost, resources and time data. The Project Settlement features can be used in the same comfortable way: The proRM settlement data are transferred for invoicing to Microsoft Dynamics NAV®, to other ERP systems like SAP and SAGE or to Microsoft Office Word. There is hardly any other project management system which offers seamless integration of the whole process in such a manner.
Keep it simple
The proRM system which is easy to use and which provides intelligent user assistance allows to minimize the amount of work significantly. At the same time, it ensures highest quality and security.
• The Activity Recording functions can be accessed by either using a web client or a Windows client. This allows the members of project teams to enter their working hours from any other desktop or when they work offline. A number of predefined drop-down menus and a stopwatch help reduce time and effort.
• A number of wizards assist you during team planning by suggesting free personnel and by providing a list of all positions to be invoiced for monthly settlement.
With solutions of other providers users have to spend significantly more time.
Transparent Reporting in Real-Time
Performing periodic controls is not sufficient in order to keep track of the productivity. With proRM, project team members have the option to see at a glance the current project status by accessing the budget load. So-called business cockpits ensure that project leaders can quickly retrieve analysis data indicating important project figures. This way, any project deviations can be instantly identified before it is too late. Further advantages of the Project Command & Control module are:
• A comprehensive reporting package simplifies the post-calculation process.
• Activity reports inform the customer on the services performed.
• Project controlling figures are useful information for Staff Management and allow identifying any overload in a timely manner.
The system’s comprehensive reporting feature also represents a real unique selling point.

What can I do with a Masters Degree In Industrial Management Technology?
I have a B.S in Comp Sci, but with the way things are now in the tech industry and jobs being shiped out i am considering a master degree. I was initially considering going for a second b.s in Information Systems because it gives me some business background also but i think to really stay ahead now a masters in most likely better. I came across this program and still doing more search on it Industrial Managment or Industrial Technology with a Management and quality control concentration. it basically combines management skill with technical skills such as stat quality control, project management, engineering cost analysis, industrial psychology, prob & stat, design of experiments and get to take 3-4 MBA corses also. It is very interesting but not sure as to what i can do with it or it its is only tailored to manufacturing enviroment only?
This masters degree would be more focused on the business aspect of everything. This would be your field if you wanted to work for anyone who manufactures anything. You would occasionally do some coding or some CS problem solving, but most of that would be left to the grunts with bachelors degrees in robotics tech or industrial engineering (lowest form of engineering, beneath civil engineering). It wouldn’t be very good outside of manufacturing, but the MBA courses would be helpful for any kind of business.
If you really wanted to step up your technical skills, then you could go for a masters in Electrical and Computer Engineering, but then you would have to catch up on at least 2, maybe 3 or 4 semesters of math, plus circuit theory, embedded systems, and digital circuit design before you would be remotely ready for the masters program. I’m going for a bachelors in Electrical engineering, and I’ve got two whole years worth of specialized EE classes with no electives to go (just one extra math and one extra CS if you can count those as electives, and nothing else). There is also the masters in CS, and that might catch you up further on theory about some of the more interesting new developments in computers.
But if you’re really good at CS, meaning that you didn’t just work off of your group’s success in team projects and got A’s, then chances are that your skills probably won’t be outsourced as easily. It’s IT that has more to worry about being outsourced.
