ZPro Solutions incorporates several key factors to ensure successful Program Management for our clients. Our Project Management team supports all of our field staff and clients through our internal processes that we expand out to our clients. It is important to fully understand the needs of the clients and the goal of the project. These key factors will help ensure the success of every program that the ZPro Solutions team is involved with.

• MANAGEMENT OF CHANGE (MOC): Management of Change (MOC) is a best practice used to ensure that safety, health, and environmental risks and hazards are properly controlled when an organization makes changes to their facilities, operations, or personnel. Having a properly implemented MOC policy in place when implementing changes can help ensure that new hazards aren’t introduced, and the risk levels of existing hazards aren’t being increased.
• Define the Control Processes
• Establish Project Governance and Controls
• Point out the Particularities of the Program
• Defining a Suitable Work Breakdown Structure
• Defining the Interface between the Projects
• Establish an Early-Warning Process to understand issues and resolution

We provide strategic support in defining IT Budgets, IT Policies & IT Vision. ZPro will recommend best practices to ensure the smooth running of IT services, provide gap analyses and will evaluate your technology plans. This includes the evaluation of business applications, business continuity processes, and overall program plans for execution.

At ZPro, we have the experience and knowledge to test, evaluate, and analyze your organization’s assets, systems, preventive maintenance strategies, and other processes. We then work with stakeholders to develop and recommend solutions that help your organization meet its goals by providing:

· Asset maturity assessment

· Maintenance assessment

· RCM – Reliability Centered Maintenance: Controlling risk is a great area of concern for asset-intensive organizations. For these types of organizations, the cost of failure has the potential to be disastrous. Having the right risk management solution in place helps your team plan for the worst. Employing a Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) extension within your Maximo solution enables you to automate maintenance optimization by closing the work order feedback loop. The RCM extension is deployed in your Maximo environment using Maximo’s out-of-the-box configuration tools, thereby ensuring a seamless upgrade to future Maximo releases.

· Supply Change Management: While yesterday’s supply chains were focused on the availability, movement, and cost of physical assets, today’s supply chains are about the management of data, services, and products bundled into solutions. Modern supply chain management is about much more than just where and when. Supply chain management affects product and service quality, delivery, costs, customer experience, and ultimately, profitability.

· At ZPro we introduce technology to make better strategic decisions. A growing number of organizations have begun to realize the strategic importance of planning, controlling, and designing a supply chain as a whole. With the introduction of the Blockchain Platform, we align where you’re already conducting your digital transformation, with deployment options spanning multi-cloud, hybrid cloud, and on premise environments.

· Infrastructure assessment

· Overall technical assessment

Maximo is a fully integrated platform that uses advanced analytical tools and IoT data to improve operational availability and reduce risk. At ZPro, we implement the tools enabling you to operate high-value physical assets with visibility and control across the enterprise to optimize performance, extend asset life cycles, and reduce operational downtime and costs. With multiple deployment models, you can maintain all asset types, no matter where they reside, set up new assets quickly, and upgrade enterprise asset management (EAM) software automatically for continuous uptime, reduced costs, and minimized risk.

You can quickly raise your organization’s worth with ZPro Training offerings to facilitate the transfer of skills and knowledge. We offer a variety of training options with in-person classes, virtual training and online materials, and facilitated peer groups. Layering some training into your projects is a best practice approach for overall sustainment of your solution investment.
