RPCuk named as APM Awards headline sponsor

APM is pleased to announce RPCuk as its headline sponsor for the 2017 APM Project Management Awards.

The awards recognise the very best performance and talent from across the project profession. Each year entries to the awards celebrate excellence in ever more complex projects, programmes and portfolios from across both traditional and emerging sectors.

However, without the appropriate project controls and software in place, along with a support team who operate at the same level of professionalism as those associated with our awards, many of these outstanding achievements may not have been possible. An idea which goes both ways, as RPCuk Chairman, Peter Gable, commented: 

"RPCuk has been delivering Project Controls solutions based upon Oracle Primavera products since 1992. However, an investment in world leading EPPM software tools is of limited value without appropriate processes and methodologies and, in particular, without people who embody the expertise and capabilities encouraged and developed by the Association for Project Management. We wholeheartedly endorse and support the values and objectives of the APM and it gives us especial pleasure to be the headline sponsor for the 2017 APM Project Management Awards in the year that it has achieved its own Royal Charter award."

RPCuk specialises in helping organisations to establish an intelligent project controls culture that harmonises people, processes and products. Project Controls is a key technique for ensuring that a project remains on track in order to identify, communicate and address issues that require remedial action. It underpins the entire project lifecycle, harvesting and analysing essential data points, including deliverables, costs, time, risks, quality, resources, procurement and, especially, change.
