The Goal Institute Selects Realizations Multi-Project Management Software

Software Helps Manage Uncertainties of Implementation Projects

SILICON VALLEY -- April 17, 2003 -- Realization Technologies today announced that The Goal Institute (Elkhart, Ind.) has purchased its Concerto software to manage client project implementations. The Goal Institute is an applied research and management consulting company, specializing in the rapid improvement of organizational performance through the application of constraints-based management solutions.

The Goal institute delivers impressive improvements in operations for its clients," reports Ajai Kapoor, vice president of services at Realization Technologies. We are happy that our Concerto software can help them manage the uncertainties of their implementation projects so that they can deliver full benefits to their clients more quickly."

Realizations Safety Engine manages uncertainties, such as changing requirements, technology failures, vendors not delivering, work materializing slower than expected, tardy approvals and changing priorities that arise in major multi-project programs. The Safety Engine inserts blocks of unscheduled time, called buffers, into the plan. These buffers absorb and lessen the shocks of uncertainties. As uncertainties create delays in execution, the buffer gets used. The Safety Engine then calculates how much of the unscheduled time is still available for future uncertainties and sets forward-looking priorities for everyone, including managers.
