About the Sponsor:
cPrime was formed in 2003 by a small group of IT project managers in the Bay Area. All of us were driven by our shared passion for project management and what we felt was a lack of understanding in the IT field about what makes a great project manager. Before founding cPrime, we consistently came across project managers who lacked the education, experience or passion required to complete successful projects and move organizations forward. cPrime was thus founded with one goal: to give our clients the best possible project management services by utilizing our extensive experience managing critical projects and our knowledge of project management theory and practice.
In the past seven years, we have built a successful company on these principles, and have become a recognized leader in the field of IT Project Management. We’ve made it our mission to be our clients' partners and to develop the best project managers. We're here to help you, whether that means working together to develop a PMO, providing "the best of the best" project managers, or training your project managers to lead your organization to success.
