Daptiv and Customer Chase Paymentech to Present at The Project & Portfolio Management Summit

Leading Global Payments Firm to Present on the Evolution of the Project Manager


GARDEN GROVE, CA--(Marketwire - June 15, 2009) - Daptiv, the on-demand leader in collaborative business software, will participate in The Project & Portfolio Management Summit in Orange County, Calif., presenting a case study alongside customer Chase Paymentech about the changing face of the project manager in today's business.

A leading global payments firm and one of the world's largest merchant acquirers, Chase Paymentech implemented Daptiv PPM in 2006 and experienced increased productivity throughout the organization, with some departments seeing a 30 to 40 percent performance gain once Daptiv was in place. Chase Paymentech will present a boardroom case study with Daptiv at the PPM Summit on the evolution of the traditional project manager to the business manager of today who manages business initiatives from an ever more holistic point of view.

"Though they might have roots in traditional project management, today's business manager needs to understand how those processes connect to the overall goals of the organization," said Tom Bannon, group executive for enterprise projects and merchant on-boarding and maintenance at Chase Paymentech. "At Chase Paymentech, we've used Daptiv PPM to drive improvements to many of our business processes from marketing to merchant relations, and to give our entire organization, from team members to executives, better insight and intelligence. There's so much potential for a new, evolved role of PPM in today's workplace."

The Project & Portfolio Management Summit runs from June 14 - 17, 2009 and brings senior executives from the business community together with Gartner analysts and leading and emerging vendors. The Summit examines market trends, and offers advice, real and tangible strategies, and evaluation of the latest products and services. This year's theme is "Putting Your House in Order with Project & Portfolio Management."
