FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Siemens Pilot RAID
Risks and Issues Database implemented at SBS National Savings
January 2002
Siemens Business Systems are
extending a pilot project to trial ADS-Limathon’s Issue Manager™
product. A customised version known as ‘RAID’ (Risks And Issues Database) is
currently being implemented across multiple sub-programmes of the Pathfinder
programme. Currently around 30 project staff are managing their risks and issues
using RAID. The SBS Audit and Risk Management team in Blackpool are closely
monitoring the pilot, and hope to ultimately extend the roll-out to cover one
hundred users, in five programmes, across four UK sites. SBS have now developed
a complete new process for Risk and Issue Management based on RAID, and this is
now being deployed to project managers at the SBS National Savings account.
ADS
Limathon have been working with Siemens Business Services for over a year now
and have also designed and implemented a Programme Office Management database,
handling data from over 200 projects. By importing data extracts from Essbase
(financial system) and consolidated MS Project Plans, within minutes the system
can generate up-to-the-moment task and finance graphs for the entire programme.
The database information, is deployed using intranet also designed and
implemented by ADS-Limathon, allowing data, graphs and reports to be viewed by
Project and Programme Managers on IE5 browsers, at all four UK sites.
ADS-Limathon is now working on a new financial application integrating
project resource and financial forecasts (ETC) with budgetary spend (Actuals)
for the SBS Programme Office.
