Document Summary

Atekpc was founded in 1984 based in the u. s. , and since then has grown to become a mid-sized pc manufacturer. The company had a rapid growth during the 1990s, however, like many other pc makers in the world, is now struggling in the changing industry where it is transitioning into a maturing market industry. Moreover, with increasing competitions from manufacturers in asia, atekpc needs to become more of an agile company that can move quickly to reduce costs and tap into new markets. Historically, the company had only been using an informal approach in its project initiation processes and without standard practices, this limited cross-functional group interaction between the operational, business and it departments. For the company to operate on an enterprise level projects, atekpc was looking into a formal project management office that can provide standardization and has the capabilities to manage projects more effectively and efficiently.
