Knowledgeable, Efficient…Care About our Success
“We engaged the Occam Group to stand up and support our EPM environment back in 2006. We have been with them now for years, and the reason we keep renewing our hosting agreement is simple: they are knowledgeable, efficient, and provide us with customer support that makes it obvious they care about our success.”

Target Our Key Areas
“When we first contacted the Occam Group they had us go through their Value Recovery Workshop. This really helped us target our key areas of focus for EPM to be a value center.

Their practical and experienced approach has helped us address a number of significant business issues.”

What They Write and Say, they Deliver!
“In March 2004, we chose Occam as its vendor to deploy project management across our client service, creative, and production processes. Occam delivered high quality, actionable consultative input, customized training, and follow-through. As a result, we have: automated our work intake process, developed a skills inventory of the resources in the division, and established a new language of accountability. I highly recommend the Occam consultants and their approach. They are “process management Marines.” What they write and say, they deliver!”

Thinks Likes a True Partner
“We currently leverage the Occam Group to support a 2000+ user environment. We decided to outsource the technical aspects of the EPM solution so we could focus on the other aspects of EPM maturation. I found the service Occam provides to be professional, productive and ultimately successful. I have been in the business of managing and building enterprise PMOs for a while now, so working with a partner who has been around the block is a huge win. I genuinely appreciate the efforts of all of the talented professionals involved in our implementation at Occam and I plan to continue to partner with them in the future.”
-- Manny, Associate Vice President, 600 Million Dollar PMO
Strongly Endorse the Occam Group
“We have been with the Occam Group since 2005 and they currently support a 1000+ user environment for us. As a large and successful IT function the idea of outsourcing support of our EPM application was originally met with some resistance, but it has ended up being one of our better moves. We have enjoyed great system stability, and our Occam Group team’s ability to provide technical leadership and problem solving has been exceptional. I would strongly endorse the Occam Group’s support function, even over a well run internal IT department!”
-- Eric, Program Manager, Large Multi-National IT Function
Stability and Reliability Provided by Occam Group
“We use the Occam Group to support an EPM environment for a program in the 50M+ range. Our client has detailed and demanding requirements which our EPM solution must meet. These requirements—in most cases—are contractual, so failure to meet them is not an option. We have seen the Occam Group step up and provide us best-in-breed service, which we can always count on. I can honestly say that had it not been for the stability and reliability provided by the Occam Group, we may not have won the business this program represents.”
-- Brian, Project Manager, 50 Million Dollar Program
