Changepoint Customer Austrian Airlines to Share Successful PPM Tips at Leading IT Conference

TORONTO - June 8, 2015 - PRLog -- Changepoint, the premier provider of Business Execution Management, including market leading solutions for project portfolio management (PPM) and professional services automation (PSA), today announced its sponsorship of Gartner's PPM & IT Governance Summit in London, UK, June 8-9. Changepoint will offer game-changing advice from industry experts and a long-time customer in special sessions entitled, Is the Glass Half-Full? Implementing PPM without Management Support, and Enterprise Performance Management and Building a Closed Loop of Portfolios.

This year's Gartner PPM & IT Governance Summit in London will focus on ways IT leaders can leverage innovation, agility, and collaboration to prioritize IT portfolios in the midst of constantly competing business goals. Attendees, which include PMO and Project Portfolio Directors, and IT executives, will also gain new insights from veteran industry experts about methodologies and technologies for improving how they select, implement, and manage IT initiatives.

Gartner recently published both of its IT PPM-focused Magic Quadrants and Changepoint was the only vendor included in both reports. The company believes this honour showcases the breadth and depth of its PPM platform and sets the wheels in motion for Changepoint's sessions at this year's Summit.

Changepoint PPM experts Alan Crean and Vange Yianni will demonstrate how attendees can connect information in new ways to see dynamic and contextual relationships across enterprise portfolios. They'll provide insights on aligning strategy and planning in real-time, and in empowering confident decisions that drive portfolio improvements. Following their session Ulrich Aigner, of Changepoint customer Austrian Airlines, will reveal insider tips for implementing PPM in the absence of management support.

Attendees can also stop by the Changepoint booth at the Gartner PPM & IT Governance Summit to learn how building a closed loop of portfolios is the first step in creating a business execution management framework that delivers enterprise intelligence and oversight. Changepoint's Business Execution Management platform provides organizations the ability to link strategy to tactics, through visibility to plans of any type and at all levels of the organization.
