We are very proud of the fact that in the last 10 years we have completed all of our projects successfully. Many factors contribute to this success. As well as the stable company background and commitment of those at RacioNet Zrt., we have also established outstanding PM competences that are being continuously developed. We have our own project and project management methodology, and our team have internationally-accepted project management qualifications.
Based on our many years of experience, and our best practices associated with this experience, we now offer our own project-optimised PM solution packages, focusing on the practical side of projects implemented or managed by our company. Our solutions provide support to project management and the work of project teams, focusing in particular on the complete implementation cycle of IT system introduction projects (project definition, planning, implementation, project closure). We offer customised versions based on the following types of projects:
Classic waterfall model-based system developments: specifically-developed solutions, in which we take a problem-orientated approach, and focus on comprehensiveness and the efficient management of project scope.
Projects aiming at customising and introducing software packages, in which we focus on identifying the relevant solution’s variable elements, and the elements that need specific development (‘gaps’), as well as the efficient management of related tasks.
Agile projects, in which prioritisation and the most efficient use of available resources define the aims of our solution.
Our support tools – which have a module-like flexibility - facilitate project work in the following areas:
Project design (milestones, WBS, resources, project events and project results);
Compiling open questions, decisions and risks, and following up on tasks related to them;
Project scope management;
Following up developmental activities;
Testing support (processing test protocols and results);
Handling documents.
Throughout all projects we undertake, we always aim to adhere to the following values:
Honest, straight talking and an open communication style. Our primary goal is to understand our clients and their demands.
Mutual respect, which is the basis of our methodology. We work together with our clients towards a common goal. It is important to create an open environment appropriate for working together, where everyone involved is considered valuable.
As mentioned above, a surprisingly large proportion of IT projects are not successful, and even when projects are successful, users often do not experience any resulting benefits. What is the background to this problem? Research shows that the most common problems are weak project discipline, ineffective management styles, insufficient communication, disruptive changes in the project’s aims due to the original aims being unclear, and poor process approach or managerial decisions made with insufficient preparation.
RacioNet Zrt. provides support through its quality assurance service for clients so that these traps can be avoided during the implementation of IT projects. It helps projects to be successfully completed within budget and schedule deadlines, and ensures that the results satisfy users.
The use of project quality assurance during projects results in the conscious implementation of a quality-focused approach, providing the following benefits for organisations:
Project operation becomes more ordered and structured. Project activities are closely monitored, and feedback and assessment of interim results becomes systematic. By these means it becomes possible to continuously improve quality.
The results of the project fulfil project requirements.
Error prevention becomes more effective, as possible defects are exposed in time, and the time and resources needed for repair works decreases significantly.
Conscious project risk handling means many negative issues can be prevented from arising. At the same time, it becomes possible to take advantage of the risks that are positive from the projects’ point of view.
Due to optimal use of resources deadlines can be more successfully met.
Internal communication within the organisation improves, and acceptance of the project within the organisation also increases.
Decision preparation is improved. In decision-making situations, best practice is taken into account, and decisions are made on schedule.
It is recommended utilising a quality assurance specialist as an consultant for projects which involve either an external or internal service provider. As well as the previously-mentioned benefits, it also contributes to the following aspects:
During internal projects it may significantly contribute to the diversification of ideas as well as to the inner balance of power within the organisation. In addition, our specialists’ input may provide clients with specialist knowledge that is necessary but often lacking.
For projects implemented by means of involving an external service provider or as part of a transport contract, an independent third party can help balance the potentially different points of view between the parties by focusing solely on the success of the project. Furthermore, they may help to bridge existing business and nationality-based cultural differences.
