Eclipse PPM a good fit for Maine Medical Center

January 30, 2009

January 2009 - Maine Medical Center (MMC) has purchased Solution Qs Eclipse Project Portfolio Management (PPM) Software for its current project workload and newly-funded Information Services (IS) initiatives. MMC is a non-profit community and teaching hospital and the premier tertiary care center for northern New England.

Eclipse PPM is a dynamic project portfolio management tool that helps organizations successfully manage their entire portfolio of projects and align them with business value.

After a long review of available solutions -- including the upgrade of an existing product -- Julie Wooden, Associate Vice President of IS, determined that Solution Q and Eclipse PPM would be a good fit for MMCs IS Department. The top reasons? Eclipse PPMs ease of use and affordability.

Eclipse PPM will allow us to consolidate projects, both large and small, into one tool where we can effectively predict and manage resources, budgets, and timelines, says Wooden on the decision to choose Eclipse PPM.

Maine Medical Centers key business drivers for purchasing a new PPM tool include improving project sequencing abilities, tracking budgets, and managing the accuracy of project and delivery work estimates to improve project completion time, while aligning institutional strategic objectives with IT initiatives.

Solution Q welcomes Maine Medical Center as a new client. Eclipse PPM will help the MMC IS Department achieve project portfolio management success. Eclipse will provide the functionality needed with the ease of use that is required.
