CAMeLEAN®/PM is a complete program/project management suite that guides organizations through the entire project management lifecycle.

The product is an enterprise class role-based program management solution that helps organizations collaborate and communicate across projects, time zones and geographies - with the ability to monitor from a single point, thus enabling businesses to make informed decisions. The product is of special relevance at a time when India is poised to become the off-shoring destination of choice.

The CAMeLEAN® philosophy is: CAM, Computer Aided Management; e, internet based and collaborative; and LEAN, for a lean office environment.

CAMeLEAN®/PM helps organizations get real-time visibility on issues, changes, resources and project trending of their programs and projects according to business objectives through a single enterprise-wide framework. Its built-in analysis, issues and deliverables tracking features help automate project managers' tasks and free them to perform higher value activities. Dashboard views help managers and executives to get real time information in terms of cost and delivery of every project.

CAMeLEAN®/PM solution can fit into any scale of business ranging from small projects to large-scale PMO applications. It will also cater to companies who already have existing project management operations and for those intending to utilize Earned Value Measurement as an objective tool to drive business results.

The product has already been launched in the US and customers have benefited from optimized workflow and dramatically enhanced on-time deliverables in their organizations.

"CAMeLEAN®/PM with its rich project lifecycle features, real-time communication and collaboration eliminates project delays and improves issue resolution for faster project turnaround. Some of the key benefits include 40 percent improvement in resource planning, 35 percent reduction in administrative costs and 25 percent reduction in data collection activities."
