1.1 Web based Project Management Office (W-PMO)
of the client was to develop a Service Portal, which would help in these companies to manage the any project by assigning tasks and reviewing the status of the same
This would essentially mean that developing a solution that would encompass the activities right from the creation of a new client, Project generation related to a client, breaking the project into orders and then into worksheet and allocating the same to the employees of the company These worksheets or the task allocated would then be available to the allocated resource who would then close it as and when the particular task is over This would also keep the track of the materials employed a particular task, status, and the cost involved
Hence the portal would help in monitoring and tracking of any project related activities
1.1.3 Challenges
The challenges faced during the execution of the project:
• Some of the resources in the portal had to be WAP enabled The compatibility files for this needed to be less than 50 KB so that it could be loaded on to the Wireless enabled devices (Java Platform)
• High Level of security based on Roles to define the resources available the user in the Portal
• Multi-Lingual support: The static data appearing on the GUI would be available in multiple languages to the user
• Multiple Layouts: The GUI of the portal would change as defined by the user
1.1.4 Solution
On the basis of the interaction with the client team, Gateway proposed a solution that can help the companies to achieve better Quality in providing the services to their customers, Quicker procedures, decreasing the response time in contract management
Trang 6The solution can be outlined to be a services portal, which will encompass everything from order entry through to management reporting, providing an end-to-end solution to the Vendors To achieve this goal, the Service Portal provided the services in the following sectors:
Client Information, related with capturing and maintaining the client details
Order Processing & Invoicing, a core service, which will be used to track the currently active orders and provide support for invoice generation
Project Management, another core module, which supports the Order Processing services, to manage the ongoing orders
Inventory Management, a supportive service that manages the item inventory used during the project (job) execution
Each of these modules are closely related to one another and fully integrated into one system, which help the user to manage their end-to-end activities starting from order creation till invoice dispatch
1.1.5 Features
The portal is Wireless enabled In this case the administrator of the company can log on
to the portal through his/ her mobile and monitor and track the project activities Similarly the employees can access to the portal and enter the worksheet details
High Level of security based on Roles to define the resources available the user in the Portal
Multi-Lingual support: The static data appearing on the GUI would be available in multiple languages to the user
Multiple Layouts: The GUI of the portal would change as defined by the user
Project monitoring and tracking: The project manager/ administrator can do the planning and allocation of activities and track them to closure
Automatic Email notification for task allocation and project completion to the users.1.1.6 Benefits
The service portal provides the following advantages:
Employee registration process is more qualitative and uniform
Invoice Generation is managed by the system, and thus the Invoices are generated and sent on the finished date of the job
Increases Liquidity – Due to faster response in sending invoices the liquidity will be increased substantially
Trang 7Information availability – Employees can obtain information about the jobs for the day without having to report at the office first
The portal also provides services that support instant messaging for new allocation or reallocation of jobs to the employees

1.1.7 Future Enhancements
The future versions for service portal will provide many enhancements to the existing portal, which would be carried out in Phase II:
Adding Auction facilities
Utilizing XML Technology for integrating with clients’ legacy data In case where the client has his/her own systems to manage the legal data, the future versions of the service portal provides the export and import functionalities in XML formats, to provide seamless interaction with any third party systems
