Robbins-Gioia Partners with Portfolio Management Solution Provider Artemis International

December 1, 2003, Washington, D.C. & Newport Beach, CA Robbins-Gioia, LLC, a premier program management consulting company, today announced a strategic alliance with Artemis International Solutions Corporation (OTCBB: AMSI), to offer their enterprise portfolio, project and resource management software solutions to government agencies and Fortune 500 companies.

With 23 years of management consulting experience, Robbins-Gioia will leverage Artemis’ software solutions to help government agencies improve capital planning through portfolio management. As a leading global provider of enterprise portfolio, project and resource management software, Artemis will collaborate with Robbins-Gioia to implement a structured, repeatable process to enable the implementation of these processes throughout government departments and agencies.

“Our core competence is in our ability to improve business processes and quality improvements for our government agency and Fortune 500 client base,” said Eric Gioia, executive vice president of Robbins-Gioia. “Government agencies are continually improving the way they manage their IT investments. Our alliance with Artemis leverages our experience in capital planning management with proven portfolio management software to initiate effective portfolio management processes.”

Due to federal mandates and shrinking budgets, agencies have been increasingly focused on improving the management of one of their most costly assets—IT. Increasingly agencies have outsourced implementing these improvements, often with dramatic results.

"Based on the results of the survey, respondents with EPMOs consider their organizations more efficient and proactive than those without them," said Davis-Muffett. "It makes sense for organizations without this structure to seriously considering establishing it."

“The key is listening to agency needs and existing processes and designing solutions that work well in a particular agency, rather than simply providing one-size-fits-all technology,” said Pat Moore, Artemis vice president of Government Solutions. “Robbins-Gioia, has an impeccable track record of agency success over the last 20 years, they are a strong partner who can provide a clear vision to our agency customers, we look forward to working together.”
