Since our establishment in 1985, we have completed over 700 inter-disciplinary projects in about 80 countries. Implementing these projects successfully has been a continuous learning process. As every project manager knows, implementing donor-funded projects requires skills in leadership, planning, organizing, financial accounting, reporting and many other processes. These processes are part of our dynamic daily life and we want to share an experience that has made our life easier and even happier.
Assembling the most qualified experts is important but not sufficient for implementing a project successfully. Everyone needs to know what to do, when, with what resources, and how to report it. These are preconditions to achieve project results and to get paid without inconveniences. Having these processes orchestrated in a way where everybody has what is needed can be challenging. Even more difficult is to maintain an overview of a number of projects executed simultaneously for different donors. That is why we decided to create an IT solution that has helped us to efficiently manage our service contracts, the MIS software.
After two years of developing, improving and testing, it is finally ready. We have developed this tool, tailored made for donor-funded projects. The MIS not only facilitates central monitoring and organisation, but also ensures that the payment flows are integrated, all expenses are properly accounted for and the latest project information is instantly available. Our experts are happier now because their invoices and expense claims can be created quickly without mistakes. Our project managers are happier because they have direct information about every process without having to contact anyone. We can have access everywhere, only Internet is needed. Everyone is happier, except our accountants who have less time to invoice for bookkeeping and audits.
But, why do we want to share it? Because we want to make ideas happen, not only for us, but also for everyone. We believe that the more projects are managed properly and more efficiently, more things will happen.
