Project Management

The development of software for an improved business process, the construction of a building or bridge, the relief effort after a natural disaster, the expansion of sales into a new geographic market — all are projects. And all must be expertly managed to deliver the on-time, on-budget results, learning and integration that organizations need.Project management, then, is the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to project activities to meet the project requirements.It has always been practiced informally, but began to emerge as a distinct profession in the mid-20th century. PMI’s A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) identifies its recurring elements:

Dedicated Team

outsource provider mutually agree on the workload and project requirements for the specified amount of time and outsource company provides IT professionals that suit clients demands and will fully concentrate only on projects for one company at a time. Dedicated Team is a business model where client and outsource provider mutually agree on the workload and project requirements for the specified amount of time and outsource company provides IT professionals that suit clients demands and will fully concentrate only on projects for one company at a time. Client has full management control over the project and team, while service provider is used for recruiting and administrative support.

Data and Information Security

Implementing best-practice data and information security processes are an important part of a complete security plan. Software-based security solutions encrypt the data to protect it from theft. However, a malicious program or a hacker could corrupt the data in order to make it unrecoverable, making the system unusable. Hardware-based security solutions can prevent read and write access to data and hence offer very strong protection against tampering and unauthorized access.

Information security (infosec) is a set of strategies for managing the processes, tools and policies necessary to prevent, detect, document and counter threats to digital and non-digital information.

Quality Assurance

In developing products and services, quality assurance is any systematic process of checking to see whether a product or service being developed is meeting specified requirements. Many companies have a separate department devoted to quality assurance. A quality assurance system is said to increase customer confidence and a company’s credibility, to improve work processes and efficiency, and to enable a company to better compete with others. Quality assurance was initially introduced in World War II when munitions were inspected and tested for defects after they were made. Today’s quality assurance systems emphasize catching defects before they get into the final product.Quality assurance comprises administrative and procedural activities implemented in a quality system so that requirements and goals for a product, service or activity.

Commitment with Work

Employee commitment can take different forms. As a result it is often seen as an HR variable which is difficult to define. The context, direction and development of commitment, as well as the extent to which commitment influences behaviour can result in confusion and debate. Here are some definitions of commitment in different contexts1. Connection to an organisation: a psychological state that binds an individual to the organisation.3 As a result employees are more loyal to an organisation and less likely to leave it. Connection to a job: the probability that someone continues to work in that job and feels psychologically bound to it. This is regardless of whether it is fulfilling or not.4

Cost Effective

In the context of pharmacoeconomics, the cost-effectiveness of a therapeutic or preventive intervention is the ratio of the cost of the intervention to a relevant measure of its effect. Cost refers to the resource expended for the intervention, usually measured in monetary terms such as dollars or pounds. The measure of effects depends on the intervention being considered. Examples include the number of people cured of a disease, the mm Hg reduction in diastolic blood pressure and the number of symptom-free days experienced by a patient. The selection of the appropriate effect measure should be based on clinical judgment in the context of the intervention being considered.
