| ActionProgram Manager works. The CIO at one of our clients said: |
 |
"APM is the only PM system that I've ever seen work. It takes 18 months to get an program management system working within an organization. All of the other systems I've ever used require that everyone know everything up front and they just can't. APM is really easy to use, dirt-simple, and it's built on Remedy so my people can customize it to fit within my organization. It's really great." |

Like all PRI products, ActionProgram Manager (APM):
- Runs on Remedy's Action Request System (the only one).
- Is installed in less than 1 hour on your existing Remedy server(s).
- Leverages your investment in Remedy.
- Interfaces with BMC Atrium CMDB.
- Is very flexible.
- Involves no integration project.
- Can be used as a standalone application or can interface with other AR System-based applications such as your help desk application, a change management application, asset management, and our ActionPortfolio Manager.
APM is the only program management, resource management and time and expense tracking system written with a workflow engine, and the only program management system that interfaces with an asset management system.
APM is:
- An enterprise-wide approach to program management, resource management, and time and expense tracking.
- Part of PRI's IT Governance Suite and Demand Management Suite.
- Includes a 3-phase life cycle: planning phase, working phase, reviewing phase.
- Users enter their time against the tasks they are working. The result is the detail necessary for charging back IT costs to user departments.
- Robust yet very easy to use.
- Used for both application development and operations projects, release management, bug reporting, and scheduled and unscheduled asset outages.
- Includes excellent charts and reports.
- Includes a robust interface with MS Project.
- Includes PRI's Approval Engine at no additional cost.
- Includes full-function Critical Path Method calculator.
- Includes it's own Change Approval application for task changes.
- Tracks 10 dates for each task and 6 dates for each project.
- Allows users to view any combination of projects on a single Gantt chart.
- Allows users to have as many levels of tasks and sub-tasks as you would like.

As one user said:
"You need to know about the projects over $500,000 as well as the projects between $50,000 and $500,000. But you also have to be looking at the projects under $50,000. It's the projects under $50,000 that are going to bite you in the butt."
