Software Consulting, Oil & Gas Project Management

E.A.G. Services makes a firm commitment to complete your project on-time, on-budget and with the quality you expect from a world-class consulting firm. Our Directors, Project Managers, and Managers have the experience required to work with you to balance schedule, resources and cost to get the results you want. We have deep experience in mitigating shifting project and program risks, coordinating the goals of multiple (and often competing) projects, securing and maintaining executive support, and managing the players involved in projects of any size. This makes E.A.G. Services your best choice for managing one or multiple projects, whether you are a company of 5 or 50,000.

We take great pride in our ability to set realistic project timelines and achieve them on budget. Our senior professionals have decades of experience in establishing project plans and monitoring progress to ensure that any risks to schedule or budget are identified quickly and managed before they derail your schedule or your budget. E.A.G. Services personnel work closely with their clients to ensure that the client members of the Program Management Office are up-to-date and involved as critical project or program decisions are made.

A key component of our project and program management methodology is identifying risks to a given project or to your everyday business and effectively alleviating those risks. This can take many forms, depending on the type of project being executed. For software selection or software assessment projects, E.A.G. Services defines the risks of pursuing alternative paths and provides you with a basic mitigation strategy and areas to watch for early indications of problems as you move forward with a decision. On a project where we are implementing a packaged product, defining a new set of business processes or enhancing existing software, we actively manage the risks involved with the project plan. This includes areas such as the quality of software development, the quality and thoroughness of testing, the quality of data loaded to a system, the uptake of training, and the execution of cutting over from one system and/or process to another.

None of your projects occur in a vacuum, and E.A.G. Services is mindful of other projects and the normal operation of your company when planning and performing project work. Our senior professionals actively coordinate with your personnel managing other projects to ensure that there is communication of key information. Often, there is a potential for synergy between multiple projects – integrated testing, combined training, shared communications, for example – and our senior professionals are skilled in identifying these opportunities to minimize your cost and disruption to other efforts. Likewise, most projects involve coordination with your personnel executing normal work activities. Whether it be your company’s monthly cycle of running JIB and Revenue or simply the normal work effort experienced by different departments, our professionals are familiar with an E&P company’s work demands and actively work with managers throughout your company to ensure that our project work is coordinated with their schedules.

Managing all the players in a simple or complex project is vital to getting the results you want and expect. Operating a project or group of projects in isolation from the executives and line personnel who will be effected by them can lead to wasted time and money. We make every effort to see that the key players are knowledgeable and involved in decision-making. E.A.G. Service’s methodology starts with insuring that there is executive buy-in to project goals and works downward through your organization to get all required personnel aligned with the project goals. In addition, we work closely with other parties (software and hardware vendors, business partners, and customers) to manage their contribution to your project. We tie this all together by matching your company’s reporting cycle and providing you with a single contact for all project information. This insures that all players are aligned to meet the goals set forth at the project’s inception.
