Contract and project management success depends essentially on implementation of the best management practices. VIMEX Technologies offers a broad spectrum of advisory services and relevant methodology to help businesses in establishing their contract or project management offices (PMO) and implementing formal contract and project management processes within the organization. A key step in successful achievement of those goals is development of the company’s specific, customized, clear and easy to implement contract and project management procedures and relevant documentation templates, based on the best project management practices.

VIMEX's many years of contract and project management experience and expertise are summarized in a proprietary document - the VIMEX Technologies Project & Contract Management Handbook© (PMH). When implemented, the procedures presented in PMH shall ensure the best use of the company’s resources, encourage the delivery of contracts, projects and work packages on time, within budget, and to the highest level of quality. The major expected outcome of the PMH utilization is the company’s ability to execute complex advanced contracts and technology projects better, faster, and cheaper.

The PMH is intended to be a management guide for implementation of the most effective contract and project management procedures for each contract or project engagement. It represents a systematic view of the major contract or project management activities and subject areas and covers all phases of the engagement life cycle. Being a manager’s guide of the step-by-step implementation of all major contract or project management procedures, as well as repository of the key documentation templates, the PMH shall assure that there is very little learning curve for a manager and the team members as they come on board or transition from one engagement to another.

The PMH document covers the basics of the PMO, a company’s unit that is responsible for all aspects of the contract and project management. The PMO basics are followed in the PMH by the detailed step-by-step project management Procedures, developed by VIMEX Technologies. These Procedures cover all the five project life cycle Phases, as per the Project Management Institute (PMI) widely recognized methodology:
