  • Fabric / PowerBI for processing and real time reporting of information
  • PowerApps for more advanced user entry and management of complex data

Why InfoVerse®?

The term “InfoVerse” is derived from two components: “info” and “verse”:

  • “Info” – short for information, which refers to knowledge, data, or facts that can be communicated, processed, or utilised. It represents the vast amount of information available in the world, encompassing everything from scientific discoveries and historical events to personal experiences and cultural knowledge.
  • “Verse” – shortened form of the word universe, which typically refers to the entirety of all known or supposed existence. It suggests a comprehensive domain or realm that encompasses various elements or aspects.

When combined, “InfoVerse” can be interpreted as a concept that represents the vast universe or domain of information – in this case in Portfolios, Programs and Projects for an organisation. It signifies the interconnectedness and abundance of knowledge, data, and information that exists. It emphasises the idea that we live in an era where information is abundant and easily accessible through various technologies and platforms. The term also implies the exploration, understanding, and utilisation of this wealth of information to gain insights, solve problems, foster progress and aid decision making.

In a broader sense, “InfoVerse” can also be seen as a metaphorical representation of the digital landscape, where information flows and interacts through networks, databases, and interconnected systems. It reflects the idea that we are living in an increasingly interconnected and information-driven world, where access to knowledge and the ability to navigate and comprehend vast amounts of information is crucial.

Nowhere is this truth more evident than in the realm of organisational transformation, specifically within the realms of portfolio, program, and project management and the alignment with an overarching corporate strategy and benefits profile. The significance of making accurate decisions based on pertinent facts becomes paramount, for such choices hold the power to determine the very fate of a project or organisation, leading either to resounding success or inevitable failure.

Our Experience

The founding team has more than 50 years of successful portfolio, program and project delivery expertise, from small startups, business and digital transformations and revolutions, to demergers, mergers and acquisitions. The projects have ranged in industries from telecommunications and financial services to government and digital media, and in size from sub-$1m (~5 team) to over $600m (200+ team), with a total exceeding more than $3bn in successful deliveries.

InfoVerse® was inspired by the lack of a single integrated solution, at a reasonable cost, to cover all the facets of Portfolio, Program and Project Delivery, and to ensure a simple, lightweight and efficient governance framework, and reporting of delivery progress, issues and risks, changes, decisions, resource utilisation and full in-depth financial analysis.

Over the last 15 years, it has been concepted, tried, tested and field proven – from incubation in 2005, to multiple working systems between 2010 to 2018 – and now to the advanced enterprise grade Microsoft cloud based software-as-a-service solution being actively used to deliver a $200m+ multi-year portfolio for an all-of business transformation in an exceedingly complex 500 person, $670m revenue generating organisation.

We are now excited to be able to offer the solution to market as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), hosted on Microsoft 365, and configured to the Customer’s needs … to help you “Break Free” from the shackles of traditional PPPM and Financial reporting tools and their costs, constraints and considerable limitations.
