Enterprise Management Solution has concluded that there is a need of management software regarding projects on a higher abstract level. Just as the EMS model follows the holistic approach, change organizations need software with the same approach. The arguments to develop the EMS model are the same in regard to the development of EMS On-Line.

Several software companies already have developed software for the operational management of projects and project portfolio. These tools often have functionality incorporated that support mutual agenda management, besides resource management and planning. Also quite often these tools are sufficient for the tasks they are developed for.

But within companies and governmental institutes the demand is clearly visible regarding the management of programmes and projects on a higher level. Taking care of the decision making process which leads to the development of programmes and projects. EMS also identifies a gap in the area of performance management related to change management and the direct insight in relations between programmes or projects with processes, ict-resources and organizational units. These relations are necessary for a "mature" umbrella planning process of programmes and projects. How can it be possible to gain harmonization in resources and efficiency in activities, if you don't have the necessary insight in their relations within your organization?

EMS On-Line creates the relations on the demanded level. This makes decision making easier. By having and making the right information available.

Goal of EMS On-Line is therefore organizing and monitoring change activities and support performance management on these changes. This to significantly increase results on change management and, more important, realize cost efficiency.
