24. Weak procurement planning

25. Delays in land acquisition / site handover

26. Delays in regulatory approvals

28. Lack of governance & accountability of team

30. Cash flow issues

31. No visibility on contractor Performance

32. ineffective claims management/Irregular paymentsDisputes & Impact on credibility

33. Sophisticated Project Management is very key for projects success Source: Oracle

34. INFORMATION is the KING and INFORMATION is the ASSET to take timely decisions, corrective/preventive actions for success of projects Transactional Data, Documents &Text capture Data INFORMATION Insight & Foresight Decision Making, Corrective actions & preventive actions

68. Material CostHow do we get this information on different elements? (Manual?? How? Is there any alternative solution)

70. 50-75 organizations engaged in project? 50% are from outside India

71. Information/documentation communication over FTP systems, hard copies and email. File size restrictions on email accounts meant that drawings were bouncing back and slowing down the review cycle

73. Technology has been playing a role in providing real time & accurate information Agile, Lean & integrated project management processes REPEAT THE SUCCESS Technology that automates project management processes, captures and mine the projects data, and provides information & intelligence for successful delivery of projects Information Technology for ‘All’ at an affordable price MINIMIZE TECHNOLOGY DIVIDE AMONG MSML projects (Micro, Small, Medium & Large Projects) FASTER, BETTER, CHEAPER, STEADIER DELIVERY OF PROJECTS INFORMATION, INSIGHT & FORESIGHT

92. In the Real Time Scenario, we require many Technology Engines (DATA CENTER) to generate HUGE COMPUTING POWER to support thousands of IT applications The challenge is to get reliable COMPUTING POWER at an affordable PRICE

94. Micro & Small enterprises do not have the required money to build their own data centers

95. World wide carbon emissions from Data Centers would quadruple by 2020

96. World wide 44 million servers consume 0.5% of electricity

97. Data Centers consume near 25% of total corporate IT Budgets

98. Electricity consumption by data centers was equivalent to 14 power plants (The total electric bill to $7.2 billion worldwide)

99. Average utilization of hardware (technology engines) is only 5%-15% of the total capacity

102. Low carbon emissions

103. Effective (near full capacity) utilization of hardware through Elasticity

105. Multi Tenant Applications

107. In Public Cloud…Smart Data Centers are available as Service Applications are provided as a Service – Project Management Software as a Service (SaaS) – pay per usage (utilities based) Middleware Machines PLATFORM Platform as a service (PaaS) – Pay per usage (utility based) Database Machines Operating System Infrastructure as a service (Iaas)– Pay per usage (utility based) Network INFRASTRUCTURE Storage Hardware (Servers) Metering for charge back is the key feature of renting… like we do for other utility services (power, water etc)

108. CLOUD COMPUTING IMPACT ON PROJECT MANAGEMENT

109. Public Cloud enables India to get the required Computing Power and project management applications ON DEMAND (rent) without CAPEX Minimize IT Divide between Emerging and Developed economies Providing Leapfrog opportunities to emerging economies Creating new businesses and jobs ECONOMY ECONOMY ECONOMY India can build World class infrastructure by leveraging Public Cloud to offer better citizen services and to improve quality of citizen life… Technology would be available at affordable price

110. Public Cloud enables enterprises to get the required Computing Power and project management/engineering applications ON DEMAND (rent) without CAPEX Minimize IT Divide between Small and Large enterprises See the future of your business through simulation Collaborative design with supplier and customers BUSINESS BUSINESS BUSINESS Indian organizations get opportunity to compete with global organizations in power, energy, construction etc., sectors – innovation can be tested with cheaper price.. You have an option now

111. Public Cloud enables enterprises to get the required Computing Power and project managementlearning content ON DEMAND (rent) without CAPEX Interactive / collaborative learning Access to teaching resources from all over the world Low cost simulation LEARNING LEARNING LEARNING Access to Virtual Learning on Project Management & Engineering from best in class people in the world .. No boundaries, you can purchase the learning content/services for limited period of time

112. Caution: Cloud Computing is not that simple!! 87.5% Security 83.3% Availability 82.9% Performance 81.0% On-demand paym’t model may cost more 80.2% Lack of interoperability standards 79.8% Bringing back in-house may be difficult 76.8% Hard to integrate with in-house IT 76.0% Not enough ability to customize 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% Q: Rate the challenges/issues of the 'cloud'/on-demand model Source: IDC Enterprise Panel, 3Q09, n = 263, September 2009 23

113. Illustrative Project Management & Collaboration Applications available on Cloud (On Demand)

119. Primavera On Demand

120. Why IT fails?? IT is not a Perpetual Machine Ability to embrace Change Big Bang Approach Output without input (No data entry, but expect information) Lack of Trust on Technology Lack of Executive Sponsorship Remote Locations & No Connectivity

122. Now you have a choice of accessing complex applications/technology over internet on rental basis

124. Community Cloud

125. Public Cloud

126. Hybrid Cloud

127. On-demand self-service

128. Broad network access

129. Resource pooling
