Lottery sees PPM as winning solution

The California Lottery has selected a project portfolio management (PPM) solution to integrate disparate data sources and to provide better visibility to operate more efficiently.

The organization will use Métier’s PPM Central to consolidate its repository and eliminate data silos. That is expected to give the California Lottery the ability to streamline operations and increase productivity. The organization will also engage PPM subject matter experts in PMO Central, Métier’s cloud-based consultancy.

Carolyn Nordstrom, chief of the Enterprise Project Management Office at the California Lottery, says, "We want to implement PPM in a scalable, simple and rapid approach. Métier has offerings that allow us to integrate all of our project data, then assess and improve for continued operational efficiencies. This tool will enable us to use only one source for data collection, reporting and analysis, which will bring together all of our operations teams for maximum efficiency gains.”

Nordstrom adds that with projects ranging from Powerball to statewide education funding programs, the California Lottery wanted an integrated approach that centralizes operations and helps it achieve a new level of technical maturity.

Métier reports that among the reasons its solution was chosen were its innovative user interface, integrated cloud services and track record with similar organizations.
