Are you migrating your existing ERP to SaaS, implementing a new ERP/CRM system, preparing to launch a Digital Transformation project, or initiating Strategic Planning efforts? If so, your focus is likely on the success of this critical initiative. However, some of the most significant risks to your initiative include competing projects, shifting priorities, and overcommitted resources, which can impact budgets, timelines, and outcomes.

Higher Digital developed its Enterprise Project Portfolio Management (EPPM) solutions, powered by our (SEA)results® software, to address this challenge. Depending on the solution you need, we can quickly identify, assess, and prioritize projects that might affect your initiatives, providing real-time insights into project and portfolio performance. This approach ensures that every project aligns with strategic goals, as you and your team effectively manage resources and adhere to budgets, to gain the expected value from all initiatives in your portfolio.

Our custom EPPM solutions include:

  • SaaS Migration
  • ERP/CRM Implementation
  • Digital Transformation
  • Institutional Strategic Planning

Migrating to SaaS, implementing a new ERP or CRM, or driving another digital transformation project is a complex effort that impacts the entire institution, including students. To ensure the success of such critical initiatives, our EPPM solution quickly identifies, assesses, and prioritizes projects that could impact the initiative. With our software, the (SEA)results strategic platform management system, you get real-time insights into project and portfolio performance. Our approach ensures that a SaaS migration (or other digital transformation initiative) is not adversely affected by other projects and is delivered on time and within budget.

The table below details our approach, including the various phases of each project and typical timelines.
