The Applications
Amplify™ by Connexion Systems
​
Amplify™ is an application designed specifically for the purpose of planning time spread benefits and the pathways that lead from discrete project outputs to their achievement. Programs and Projects are more focused on achieving business outcomes, rather than just technical outputs.
The illustration above is an example of the difference between benefits realization planning and conventional critical path schedule planning. The common link is the Project Output which will have a delivery date associated with an activity completion date in the project schedule.
​
Beyond that, everything in Amplify™ planning relates to measurable change, measurable outcomes, measurable benefits, and organizational objectives. The tool quantifies and time phases the realization of outcomes and benefits, and by connecting to your organizations scheduling and cost collection systems provides a dynamic, real-time monitoring and forecasting for ROI.

SEER-IT™ by Galorath
​SEER IT is designed to support cost estimation and analysis for information technology environments. According to it's developer's website:
​
"SEER project estimation and management solutions improve success rates on IT Infrastructure and IT services projects and operations. Based on sophisticated modeling technology, SEER solutions help organizations assess up-front project feasibility, optimize project costs and schedules, assess risks and probabilities, monitor project progress, and develop detailed project plans.
All SEER solutions are built on the same design principles, incorporating the following application elements:
Annotated and guided interface for defining projects
Parametric simulation engine
Project-applicable Knowledge Bases
Numerous standard and custom reporting options"
​
BMLLC uses SEER-IT as the first choice for cost estimating and analysis for nearly all of the independent cost estimating, analysis and assessment projects. Parametric estimating is key to this - the SEER suite of products allows the analyst to base estimates of required time and resources to complete a project based on quantified technical, environmental and programmatic inputs - the parameters.
​
The SEER knowledge bases correlate these input assumptions with a deep set of histories to predict the degree of difficulty and resultant estimates for cost and time.
Requirements Validation Services
​
There is often a choice between owning software tools, or simply engaging specialists to employ the tools. Organizations wishing to employ methods and techniques to improve integrated program management practices to gain the advantages of clearer planning and better means to manage program risks face this decision because there are so many advantages to using specialized analysis software to support the practices.
Requirements Validation Services are designed to help inform this decision. This service can be provided as an independent review of the type and number of programs, level of knowledge of in-house staff in cost, schedule and benefits management, and staff priorities. It can also be provided as a part of the Validation Workshop technical services described HERE.
​
When a clear choice is not evident, there are options open for further exploration:
​
-
Single Program Mentored Pilot Evaluation
-
Small Portfolio Pilot Evaluation
-
Limited Organizational Implementation
​
Or combinations of these to suit the Client needs.
