  development, portfolio and project management to

Federal Canadian GovernmentFertile Ground for
EPICCS

• Government departments are under ever-increasing
  pressure to demonstrate ROI, improve governance
  of funds, provide visibility and deliver intended
  results of their IT initiatives. The Canadian
  Federal Government provides a fertile environment
  for the EPICCS Solution
• Recognized Project Management Capabilities The
  government has been embarking on many large,
  multi-project initiatives that can benefit from
  portfolio management and BearingPoint is well
  recognized for its depth of project and portfolio
  management experience.
• Modern Comptrollership BearingPoint has a long
  history with the Modern Comptrollership Capacity
  Check in Canada. We have observed that there are
  significant gaps in application of the principles
  of Modern Comptrollership to IT projects that
  leads to cost and schedule overruns, lack of
  value for money and pubic perception that IT
  projects are out of control.
• Microsoft Standard The Microsoft platform is
  already well entrenched within most government
  departments and Microsoft Project has become the
  defacto tool for managing IT projects.
  Government departments can leverage their
  existing investments and knowledge of Microsoft
  products to reduce implementation costs.
• Government Scandals Numerous government
  scandals have been uncovered recently pertaining
  to the governance of funds including the
  Advertising Sponsorship Scandal, Privacy
  Commissioner Spending, HRDC Grants and
  Contributions, DND HP false invoices etc.
• Auditor General Report A scathing auditor
  general report was released over the
  mismanagement of government funds within the
  Canadian Federal government. Newspapers have
  quoted the Auditor General "I think this is such
  a blatant misuse of public funds that it is
  shocking. I am actually appalled by what we've
  found."
• Up-coming election With an up-coming election
  the government is placing increasing importance
  on demonstrating ROI and improving the governance
  of funds.

Benefits of Using Standard Microsoft Applications
to Build EPICCS

• Proven, Reliable, Scalable
• Using applications that are proven, tested and
  currently used by millions of people creates
  great confidence and ensures that the new
  solution can build upon the maturity of its
  application components.
• Familiarity HIGH ? Adoption Rate HIGH ? Change
  Management LOW
• Introducing new solutions to the user community
  is always challenging. Presenting a new solution
  providing the look feel users are familiar with
  increases the speed of adoption and reduces the
  users resistance to change.
• Configuration vs. Customization
• The functionality of Microsofts applications is
  deep and flexible. Business requirements are met
  by fully exploring and leveraging the software
  functionality through configuration instead of
  the development of custom code.
• Use What You Already Own
• Many organizations already own most of the
  applications that are necessary to run the
  solution which reduces the acquisition cost for
  the solution and frees up resources for more
  value added activities.
