A recurring theme among many of our clients is their need to find new and better ways of coordinating both project work and day-to-day activities.   Staff and management can quickly become overwhelmed with the amount of information they need to absorb and the daily volume of disjointed email can compound the problem.  PEAK is an excellent tool for resolving this issue and has also provided Kogawa with a platform for creating business process solutions, not just coordinating project work.

PEAK allows users to survey all the work that needs to be done in an organization and ensuring that their tasks are not overlooked. Combining a variety of management functions that cover portfolio, project, workflow, contact, and document management, the PEAK tool delivers both the structure and the flexibility required to coordinate the work of today's knowledge-based teams.

At the center of PEAK is an explorer structure that allows users to intuitively navigate their way through projects, drilling down to increasing levels of detail. Users can quickly track work progress and history, prioritize tasks, identify accountabilities and access attached documents and other files.  In addition, managers can view dashboards that provide overviews of the organization as a whole.  This is a powerful approach to managing a portfolio of projects.

A growing number of clients are seeing the value of taking a more structured approach to project coordination that emphasizes accountabilities and delivery of results.  Among these clients are the City of Calgary, Nexen, ENMAX and the Government of Alberta.

Kogawa is Tecskor’s premier implementation partner in Calgary, with experience in configuring, implementing and coaching the use of PEAK.
