FLEXWORKS

In business, time is of the essence. As technology advances, organizations must move faster than ever to keep pace. Without defined parameters for project delivery, you risk suffering project delays, budget overruns or even project failure. For many organizations, the consequences can be significant – delayed delivery of products or services, diminished customer confidence or even loss of market share.

By fusing focused business and technology expertise with a defined methodology, Allstream can help you ensure that your projects are managed and completed with the highest levels of quality – on time and on budget. We accomplish this by leveraging FLEXWORKS™, our propriety and award-winning framework that adheres to a standard methodology for project management, customer service and solutions delivery. Recognized by IDC Canada, FLEXWORKS™ provides the flexibility to adapt to specific project scenarios without jeopardizing best practices and key project checkpoints. The result? You set up every project for success, every time.

Our Approach

Allstream’s FLEXWORKS™ framework describes management principles, disciplines and guidelines as well as the best practices that relate to these activities. Relying on a proven methodology for supporting project teams, it enables you to leverage the strengths of Allstream’s experienced project managers. In addition to providing a comprehensive knowledge repository of sample project deliverables, forms and templates, FLEXWORKS™ still allows each project the freedom to use its own development methods and administrative procedures.

The bottom line? FLEXWORKS™ provides a comprehensive approach for establishing, coordinating and controlling activities common to all projects, while ensuring your methodologies align to industry standards and incorporate industry-recognized methodologies.

With an award-winning methodology and years of real-world project experience, Allstream is ideally positioned to work with you to properly structure and define your projects’ progression, enhancing your ability to realize both project and strategic success.
