“"pmPoint for project management is now an integral part of RPA's suite of user focused SharePoint applications.”

The Railway Procurement Agency (RPA) is an Irish state agency responsible for ensuring the provision of light rail and metro infrastructure and top quality passenger services for Dublin City. RPA has successfully delivered two city tram lines, a number of line extensions are under construction; and five city tram lines and two Metro Lines are being planned. RPA had already deployed BrightWork pmPoint on SharePoint 2003 and wanted to upgrade to Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. RPA also required a process to manage Risks, Issues and Assumptions for their business in an efficient and automated manner. They decided that MOSS 2007 would be the ideal platform to host the pmPoint solution.
RPA deployed BrightWork pmPoint on their MOSS 2007 environment and were able to customize the built-in Issue Manager template to meet their requirements. Using pmPoint's Issues and Risks' forms coupled with SharePoint 2007 Workflow, RPA were able to log Issues and promote them to Risks and notify Owners and Assignees accordingly. The pmPoint reporting engine was then used to rollup Risks, Issues and Assumptions. RPA continue to deploy BrightWork Solutions to satisfy both Project and Departmental problems. Moss 2007 and BrightWork form the basis for their Intranet, Project Websites and Internal Application websites.
