The Middle East needs to become better at project management, according to CMCS, a regional provider of project management software.

This extends to not only managing projects better, but also selecting the right projects to work on in the first place, says Bassam Samman, CEO and founder.

“As one of the world’s most project-driven markets, the MENA region has to ensure that it has access to the best PM tools to maintain its competitive edge,” he said.

“Through our educational campaign we aim to enhance PM competency throughout the region, particularly when it comes to PPM (portfolio project management).

“While PM methods are used to properly manage projects, PPM enables organisations to select the right projects, which is a very critical activity given today’s tight markets. We want to promote these two concepts so that the region can excel in both project selection and execution.”

The company will soon kick off a regional tour to showcase its offerings and publicise its status as an authorised provider of Oracle Primavera training programs.

During its tour, which will cover the GCC, Jordan and Egypt, CMCS will focus on solutions from Oracle Primavera, Synchro Ltd. and EarthCam.

The company recently signed a ‘memorandum of agreement’ with American University of Sharjah (AUS) to train AUS students and alumni on Primavera software and its applications.
