Fully Integrated PPM + ITSM Solutions = 360 Degree View of IT s Ecosystem = Optimum Decision Making TeamDynamix world class PPM and ITSM software is a fully integrated solution combining Project, Operational/Change and Ticketing work into a seamless, collaborative and accessible interface. Gaining transparency into projects as well as the ticket solution, which is used to track help desk and/or operational smaller-than-a-project work, provides a holistic picture of IT s workload, priorities and performance. The days of working within duplicate systems can effectively be eliminated through use of a single user interface within TeamDynamix software. The ability to report on essentially any field on a ticket helps in so many ways. The time tracking makes it really easy for our staff to report the time and update tickets at the same time and helps the department with the annual charge backs to justify the work our office provides to the campus. Getting tickets and projects in one complete package has been a real positive improvement for our environment -Melissa Jones, Technology Development Manager at University of Central Missouri 5. Colleges and Universities Drive the Development of TeamDynamix Software TeamDynamix product features and enhancements are governed by the TeamDynamix Advisory Council (TAC).

Confidently Navigate Changing Priorities with Powerful Resource Management Tools TeamDynamix Resource Management application delivers clear visibility into resource allocations, while enabling comprehensive resource planning to successfully navigate changing priorities. In today s dynamic Higher Education work environment, leadership must have clear understanding of resource availability and potential impacts of change. TeamDynamix software allows Colleges and Universities to run out-of-the-box resource reports alongside what if resource scenarios to navigate changes and push back on unreasonable requests by aggregating data across Projects, Portfolios, Operational/Change Work and Tickets. This will help gain a holistic view of organizational commitments and drive accurate resource decision making. The following image shows time allocation for current project commitments versus s incoming project requests to determine over-allocation and adapt work schedules accordingly. 7.

Effectively Prioritize Work In today s Higher Education work environment, where resources are scarce and budgets are tight, it is critical to focus on the work that most quickly drives the institution towards its strategic objectives. TeamDynamix presents prioritization tools that have the ability to compare and contrast client project requests with a similar lens to enable leadership to parallel decision making with institutional strategy. The prioritization tools offer the transparency necessary to guide internal conversations, ensuring the highest priority requests are completed. There s a big difference in Higher Education IT planning and corporate planning. While other solutions are trying to shoehorn into the higher education IT space or forcing corporate planning cycles onto higher education customers, it s clear by how well TeamDynamix fit our model that they understand the difference. - Bruce Bills, Brigham Young University- Idaho 10. Colleges and Universities Are Not Corporations Working with TeamDynamix, Colleges and Universities benefit from an industry specific implementation process focused on project management, portfolio management, service desk management and IT Governance maturity: Pre-PPM & ITSM Corporate IT Governance Maturity: Departmental Maturity Influence Pre-PPM & ITSM Higher Ed IT Governance Maturity: Departmental Maturity Influence While other PPM and ITSM vendors approach implementation with a one-size-fits-all model, TeamDynamix engages each College and University by way of a PEMM (Project Environment Maturity Model) delivery method to assess cultural maturity. As noted in the diagram above, the corporate implementation model that non-higher education focused vendors deploy, assumes a high level of homogeny between each department s Project, Portfolio and Service Management maturity. This implementation and feature approach in Higher Education is going to result in overwhelming less mature groups and underwhelming the most advanced groups. TeamDynamix has a proprietary and proven Higher Education Change Management process to give your initiative the best chance of success from day one. TeamDynamix understands that tools and training processes must support both novices and experts within the same environment, while providing valuable reporting and analytical capabilities to leadership. This unique outlook and approach will help ensure successful adoption of TeamDynamix software in all Higher Education work environments.
