Management of Project Omnia, The
- Synopsis
- Considers the people involved in project management, in this case, the Portman Building Society’s Project OMNIA which was undertaken to replace diverse computer systems by a single integrated one that is ‘customer’ rather than ‘account’ based. Concentrates on the sub-project to replace the mortgage systems and the relation between the Portman and ICL, the supplier. Good communication is emphasised: in defining what the client wants, quality assurance, the role of an independent management consultant, estimation of the costs in cash and human resource terms, planning, building in mechanisms for change, testing, acceptance and evaluation. Finally discusses whether anything might have been managed differently.

- NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
