Project Management

Effective project management is a key factor to the on-going success of our network and cyber security projects especially when replacing legacy active systems, which requires no or minimum disruption. Our engineering team all follow this three-phased process which provides structured implementation instructions for carrying out projects.

Within the assigned service delivery team, we appoint a senior project manager, who has experience of similar deployed solutions.

They will be the primary interface between the customer (including its different departments as needed), the KHIPU service team and if required, 3rd party organisations. The project manager will be responsible for the managing the project from start to completion.

PRINCE2 Practitioners

Our senior PRINCE2 project managers have extensive experience of our next-generation networking and cyber security solutions.

From the experience gained from our projects, we have developed the KHIPU Networks Project Process (KNPP) based on the PRINCE2 for the structured management of networking and cyber security installation projects.

We have managed a number of large projects, liaising with all parties to ensure tasks and deadlines are met. These include:

University of Portsmouth
Royal Brompton and Harefield NHS Foundation Trust
SITA Aero
Virgin Atlantic
Charities Aid Foundation (CAF)
Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea
