Mathtech provides a full suite of services to help our clients improve their business operations, leverage information technology to the fullest, and manage their transformational projects successfully. We truly provide a “Clear Direction for Project Success” and operate with the sole purpose of helping every client reach the goals they set forth to achieve.
Project Management
Organizations move forward through the execution of projects. Important projects implement new technology, launch new products, upgrade infrastructure, change business processes, and are the overall driving force behind change. Mathtech’s Strategic PMO is our overall project management approach we use to manage projects. Our Strategic PMO allows organizations to manage one or more projects in a thorough approach that manages resources and risks and implements a project management structure that can support the organization after the consultants have finished.
Our Strategic PMO Philosophy is practical and straightforward and aligns with PMI (Project Management Institute) standards. It also prioritizes knowledge sharing and focuses on value-added effort rather than administrative paperwork. The Strategic PMO includes clear definitions of project roles and responsibilities, work products and assignments, and clear procedures for risk and issue tracking, escalation, and resolution.

Another feature of our Strategic PMO is the process of evaluating and redefining the PMO as projects progress and the organization matures.
Mathtech’s approach enables our teams to quickly help clients manage one or more projects in a thorough manner that manages resources and risk, and implements a project management structure that can support the organization after the consultants have finished.
