New Process Change Management

Founded in 1988, CASE Associates Inc. (CAI) specializes in providing project management and quality assurance services to state and local government agencies. Since 1997, CAI has successfully conducted over 25 engagements for Oregon and Washington State agencies. 
CAI consultants have extensive program and project management experience and have directed or overseen the successful installation and implementation of hundreds of projects. They have experience in all phases of project management including leadership, budget responsibility, project initiation, staffing, reporting, implementation, problem tracking, generating and maintaining enthusiasm, and driving the project to successful completion using formal project management tools.
 
All CAI consultants have experience in IT strategic planning, business/system process improvement programs, information systems planning, systems analysis and design, project management, risk management, and quality assurance services. CAI uses its own methodology, the Business/System Process Improvement Program, for conducting strategic planning, quality assurance, and risk management programs. See the section on Business and System Process Improvement for more information.
 
CAI has intimate knowledge of government business processes, standards, networks, and inter-agency information sharing and access requirements. We recognize that state agencies are under constant scrutiny from the public, the media, and the legislature, and that they often must adhere to strict and sometimes contradictory rules. Budget limitations, funding sources, fiscal calendars, legislative initiatives, confidentiality requirements, public disclosure requirements, and procurement processes are just a few of the unique needs that must be considered at all stages of a project. Furthermore, state agency projects often involve interfaces with other agencies at the local, state, and federal level that must be included in the overall project plan.
 
CAI applies the principles of the Capability Maturity Model (CMM) assessments and the Control Objectives for Information and Related Technology (CoBiT) standards to conduct project planning, quality assurance, and risk management programs. CAI is also familiar with and applies the guidelines documented in the Project Management Institute's Book of Knowledge. CAI uses the Control Objectives for Information and Related Technology (CobiT) standards developed by the Information Systems Audit and Control Foundation for use in Information Technology audits.
