Client Engagement Methodology
One of the prime reasons for Ario's success to date has been its ability to combine in-depth project management, delivery and control experience and skills with an integrated client engagement approach. Ario's client engagement methodology is not to enforce its own project practices and working methodologies onto its clients, but rather to enhance the existing systems and processes already established by its clients.
Ario's resources are very comfortable to apply the basic principles of project management and controls within any system and specific client requirements, where it is required to provide resources to site, or to perform work in the client's office environment.
Examples of such engagements are:
- Ario has worked within the project control methodologies of SABS, including its project software, processes, execution methodology and templates. Ario contributed significantly to implement these systems and put them successfully into operation.
- Ario performed project control on the SAFARI replacement project for Necsa on their financial system (Solomon) and implemented budget and cost control on these Necsa systems.
- Ario performed system engineering services for Carl Zeiss Optronics (a German-owned company) within the templates, detail requirements and systems of Carl Zeiss.
- Ario advised Necsa on the specific project control governance framework and wrote the delegation of authority specific to the project for Necsa.
- Ario has been appointed by Eskom on a number of orders, amongst other to establish project management processes and systems, support Eskom in the management of its projects and train Eskom and training Eskom resources on project management processes, systems and methodologies. All Eskom work is performed within the process control methods of Eskom.
