Rich Murphy has been generally recognized as one of the “thought leaders” in the project management software field. He started his project management career as the lead scheduler on a 7 year/$4 billion engineering and construction project. Rich eventually moved full time into the project management software field with one of the leading vendors in the industry. Over the next 20 years Rich and his team developed some of the leading PM systems including one of the first multi-user, multi-project Windows based systems. Rich has a long history with Microsoft Project; he was one of the original beta testers of Microsoft Project for Windows. And in August 2000, Microsoft acquired Project Enterprise which Rich and his team had developed. As part of that acquisition, Rich joined Microsoft and was appointed as the original Solution CEO for Microsoft’s Enterprise Project Management solution based on SharePoint. Many of the concepts in Project Enterprise (such as the Enterprise Global and Enterprise Resource Pool), became the basis for Project Professional and SharePoint based Project Server and later included in Microsoft’s Project Online cloud offering.

Triskell Software is a cloud-based “Enterprise Governance Platform”. The solution provides organizations with comprehensive functionality including strategic planning and execution, budgeting/forecasting/financial management, agile/waterfall/hybrid techniques for detail planning, and robust analytical and simulation/scenario capability. The system is unique because it allows the application of all system functions to not just programs, projects, and tasks, but also to multiple portfolios, deliverables, products, and any other “object”. Triskell also recognizes that many organizations currently use several tools for detail planning, including Microsoft Project, spreadsheets, Jira, SharePoint lists, etc. Triskell permits users to continue with those tools while providing all Triskell functionality for portfolio and resource management and reporting. For the past 3 years Triskell has been noted in Gartner’s Market Guide for Strategic Execution Management (SEM) solutions. This vendor showcase will include a demonstration of how Microsoft Project (Standard and Professional versions) can be used with Triskell.
