2 is a Microsoft Certified Partner and Solutions Provider, with over a decade of experience with Microsoft Project Desktop, Project Server, Portfolio Server and SharePoint. Our enterprise solutions are driven by sound project management methodologies and practices rather than a one size fits all deployment strategy. This means the Microsoft Project desktop or enterprise implementation will be customized to fit with the individual work flows and business practices of the organization, instead of you needing to adjust your work flows and business practices to fit the software. Not only do we provide robust technical support, our experienced team works with clients to develop toolsets and processes to successfully integrate the software as well as manage the project, program or portfolio of projects to completion Custom Computer Programming Services SIZE STANDARD: $25.5M Edwards provides custom computer programming services through software systems design and custom application development support services. These services include application development through database programming; stored procedure application development;.net program development; visual basic (VB) programming services and application development. In addition, has developed many custom applications and add-ons for Microsoft Project Desktop, Microsoft Project Server, and Microsoft Portfolio Server. These add-on applications for MS Project, Project Server, and Portfolio Server include: (1) A customizable Schedule Checklist tool that allows for detailed and timely analysis of Project Schedules to identify any missing key elements in the schedule. These key elements can include missing task interdependencies (predecessors or successors), missing resource assignments, missing task or project baseline, missing status date, incorrect task or resource status, and many others. (2) A Baseline Correction Tool that fixes many anomalies in MS Project when a partial baseline is rolled up. (3) A Level of Effort (LOE) task status tool for correctly updating the status of LOE tasks. (4) A series of Earned Value Management (EVM) tools and applications that combine into a detailed EVM process that allows for accurately collecting and reporting earned value (EV) using MS Project. This process and associated tools allow for accurate collection and reporting of EV metrics, even when the Control Account (CA) is at a higher level (summary level) in the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) versus where the detailed tasks and performance tracking are located in the WBS. (5) Custom web pages for Microsoft Project Web Access (PWA) (6) Custom SharePoint Solutions to support project sites and portal solutions (7) Many other tools and applications for MS Project Desktop and MS Project Server services and solutions are designed, developed, implemented, and sustained based on a structured Systems Development Lifecycle (SDLC) engineering approach.
