Syracuse University has deployed
TeamDynamix to manage projects it in its
IT and Services organization. TeamDynamix provides the university's CIO and ITS group with a centralized view of the department's work from budget, resource, and progress perspectives.
"While we are early in the deployment of the TeamDynamix solution, we like its flexibility and the fact that it will grow with our organization," said Glenda Ranallo, project manager at Syracuse U. "TeamDynamix' support team has been extremely responsive to our needs and readily available throughout the implementation process to answer questions and make changes. As we continue to learn and use all of its capabilities, we see potentials for TeamDynamix to be used widely across the university."
TeamDynamix, a Web-based system, was developed specifically for higher education IT groups to align their work and resource needs with institutional and departmental strategic objectives. The service provides a view of all available IT resources for project allocation and gives individual users access to a personal dashboard that presents only the projects and information that are relevant to them.
Other institutional users of the project and portfolio management system include
Ohio State University and the
University of Texas at Austin.
