In a recent meeting with a prospective client for an IT Realty portal this week, I was asked about the advantages of hiring Project Management talent in the same way that many other elements of an organization’s IT estate are now brought in…namely, “as a Service.” Many IT savvy guys call this the cloud terminology.

Before I answered, I asked what he thought good service looked like.

We spoke for an hour and as we talked and compared our answers, it became clear that the lists were entirely compatible: his idea of what he wanted from a service matched my idea of what a project management partner could and should deliver.
