Sofis Solutions - Software Development

Management Offices

Project Management Office (PMO)

The achievement and fulfillment of project objectives are essential to obtain results, and this can be accomplished through the adoption of best practices in project management.

For this reason, Sofis Solutions incorporates the Project Management Office, whose mission is to ensure the fulfillment of project objectives through the professionalization of management processes, continuous improvement, monitoring and evaluation, and the training of human resources.

According to the Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), a tool developed by the Project Management Institute (PMI), the Project Management Office (PMO) is defined as: "a management structure that standardizes the processes related to project governance within an organization, aiming to facilitate the shared use of resources, methodologies, tools, and project management techniques."

An essential point for project management is the use of tools that allow the recording, measurement,

analysis, and control of the work implemented in projects and portfolios. This allows the execution of a continuous improvement cycle through the optimization and efficient use of resources.

Key project management tools include:

Portfolio and Project Management System (SIGES): A system for registering and tracking program and project portfolios within an organization or group of organizations. It enables project management by handling key knowledge areas such as: schedule management, procurement, risk, stakeholders, quality, documentation, and methodology, among others.
Integrated Service Management Platform (PIAS): A solution designed and developed by Sofis Solutions that allows for the administration, management, tracking, registration, and control of the organization's projects, processes, and procedures.
Microsoft Project: Project management software designed to help develop schedules, allocate resources, manage budgets, analyze workloads, and track progress.

Software Quality Management Office (SQMO)

The implementation of methodologies, technologies, and tools are key components for ensuring quality in software development. This enables task automation, faster testing cycles, and reduces potential production deployment errors.

In this context, Sofis Solutions implements the Software Quality Management Office (SQMO), an area focused on ensuring compliance with quality strategy and policies through the implementation of agile testing methods, processes, and tools that identify non-compliance in the deployment of products or services developed by Sofis Solutions' IT department.

The Software Quality Management Office (SQMO) is aligned with the Project Management Office (PMO) of Sofis Solutions, as both focus on meeting objectives and maintaining the quality of a given project, ensuring delivery timelines, error detection and correction, resource optimization, and minimizing maintenance costs.

The main mission of the Software Quality Management Office is to ensure compliance with Sofis Solutions' testing quality strategy and policies, through the implementation of methodologies, standards, and tools that guarantee the delivery of reliable and high-quality solutions.

Change Management Office (CMO)

The CMO (Change Management Office) has the main objective of supporting our clients' and internal change initiatives (redefinition, simplification and automation of processes, reorganizations, regulatory changes, technological transformation, among others) to ensure their success.

The CMO team manages, supports, structures, standardizes, and oversees planned or ongoing changes, ensuring that each follows the appropriate methodology adapted to the specific situation using various tools.

The office is also responsible for laying the groundwork for efficient monitoring by establishing a baseline of indicators. The CMO helps mitigate the negative impacts that organizational changes involving processes, people, structure, and technology may have.
