Changing Systems have over 20 years experience working with large Corporates
in the Business Change/Project arena.
There are a lot of Project Management Tracking Applications in the market, most notably Microsoft's, but most require significant training up front and don't report on all projects across the business. Project management queries become the preserve of those trained to use them, and who have access, not necessarily those who most need the information.
Nick Wilson, CEO of programmexpress saw an opportunity to develop a different type of Programme Management Tracking Application; a web based browser, which would appeal to senior managers because of its ease of use and company-wide reporting capability.

Nick had a vision of what was required through 10 years of Programme Management experience without the right tools for major retailers.
Nick asked Jemmac to turn his vision into reality, because he knew they deliver complex bespoke software engineered for the business benefit of their clients.
Jemmac Solution
Jemmac designed and wrote this software using their technical skills, combined with in-
depth business understanding and attention to detail.
The application was been written in HTML, Javascript and PHP, using a MySQL database, although it
can be ported to run on other databases such as Oracle or SQLServer.
Nick Wilson, CEO of programmexpress said:
"Jemmac were very good at getting back to me with time-recording. They understood my idea in detail and delivered on time and to budget".
The Laurel Pub Company, one of the premier pub operators in the country were an early adopter of programmexpress.
David Broom, IT Director of Laurel Pubs, said:
"programmexpress meets all of these requirements in terms of communication, reporting and consistency of Project approach, has been implemented speedily without over burdening the business with Project process, and allows us to concentrate on what we're really here to do, improve the guest experience within our Pub estate".
programmexpress enables companies running large Business Change Projects to track the latest status of activity and the 'Big Picture' impact on their business. In one month, a company can have total control over their projects. It overcomes the one big issue for such companies - namely communication - as it is a web enabled, intuitive tool that can be accessed via the Intranet, and viewed through html style screens, or used to run executive level reports.
It also provides a toolkit for Project Managers, in the form of document templates and Gantt Chart reporting. programmexpress gives the following benefits:
- intuitive tool which requires insignificant training expense / time up front
- access by web-based browser
- fast track way to get good project control into place
- no expensive business process re-engineering or management consultancy
- scalable as large as the organisation requires
- business change control at an affordable price
