Technology practice
Professional Solutions
Programmes stall when nobody owns the handover from plan to delivery. We set up the PMO, governance and people to deliver what was agreed, on time, in scope and on budget.
What it delivers
PMO solutions
We set up Project Management Offices with the right mix of people, technology and process to carry every project through.
Project management solutions
Our skilled subject-matter experts manage your projects to time, scope and budget.
People solutions
We source experienced, certified project managers, analysts, architects and change managers across IT and business, wherever you need them.
Three types of PMO
EPMOEnterprise
An enterprise-wide PMO that serves every portfolio and programme tied to your strategic and commercial goals. It governs methodology and stakeholder communication.
TPMOTransformation
A transformation PMO that leads top-down change, in internal processes or in how you engage clients, with executive backing.
ISPMOInformation Services
An Information Services PMO that keeps solution design, product development and release management aligned on strategic IT projects.
Every PMO we set up rests on three success factors. Strategic alignment links the PMO directly to your organisational strategy. Operational excellence means clear processes that people follow, run by carefully selected people. Value delivery shows up as measurable gains in success rates, cost and time to market.
How we deliver
We work in the framework that suits your organisation's maturity. We're practised in PMI, PMBOK, Prince2, Lean, Agile, Waterfall, Hybrid, Kanban and Scrum, Six Sigma, DMAIC, Design Thinking, HCMBOK, ITIL, DevOps, COBIT and TOGAF.
Three ways to engage
Solution as a service
We provide the whole service, defined around your need, and own the licences we use to deliver it.
Working with you
We provide part of the service and you provide the rest, divided by an agreed PMO or project strategy.
Building your own capability
We help you build and own your PMO or project strategy, project by project, with the licences in your name.
Why Edge
Long-standing enterprise experience
We know how a PMO should be set up in your industry, and we bring proven frameworks and templates to do it.
Capacity or SLA, your choice
We can add capacity to your team or run the work under an SLA, with commercial and support models to match.
Regional reach, four languages
We work across the Middle East and Africa, in English, French, Arabic and Portuguese.
Selected work
Programmes delivered at enterprise scale.
Telecommunications · MTN South Africa
A Transformation PMO for group-wide programmes
Over three years (2017–2020), our TPMO drove MTN SA's transformation programmes to meet Group commercial expectations. We used an established project governance model and methodology, working alongside MTN's own ISPMO department.
Public sector · Road Accident Fund
PMO for an Oracle ERP implementation
We run the PMO for an Oracle Fusion and E-Business Suite core-modules project. The engagement is ongoing and covers implementation and vendor management, knowledge transfer, change management, governance and quality assurance.
Media & entertainment · MultiChoice
PMO staffing across an African footprint
For five years we've staffed MultiChoice's Africa PMO department with programme managers, project managers and project administrators. They support its project rollouts in South Africa and across Africa.
Telecommunications · MTN SA & Boost
Full-spectrum delivery capacity augmentation
For three years we staffed MTN's EPMO and ISPMO under MTN's direction. Our people worked in portfolio, programme and project management, and we also provided business analysis, application security, release management, data migration and MDM consulting.
