RayAnn Enterprise Publishers

One of our most critical concerns of today within the IT industry: The high failure rate for Information Technology projects/programs. I represent RayAnn Enterprise Publishers, a publishing and professional services business for the IT and other industries. The Business was established with an Internet presence. RayAnn Enterprise Publishers provides:

• Publication of IT and Management Books, Information Source, an eventual magazine
• Consulting (Best Practices)
  • Project Management
  • Program/System Management
  • Quality Assurance
  • Configuration Management
  • Web Development Management
  • Program/Project Assessment
  • Publishing
• Training/Education
• Lectures/Seminars
• Coaching

RayAnn was established in 2001 to address specific issues within the IT industry, such as the high failure rate of IT projects, by publishing information and books that relate to the best practice processes that have directly contributed to the success of IT development and technology projects and programs. We seek to inform, educate and provide relevant and critical information to reverse the current trend; information that is available now, a year or two and further.

In 1994, I was researching and writing a book for the industry to be published to prevent companies conducting business and managing projects from losing thousands and sometimes millions of dollars. During this research to write and develop the book I recognized that my research, and research by several research companies, identified a significant number of IT development and technology project failures. Do we understand the impact this has on business, the IT industry, and the economy? Not only does it impact business, but also it reflects the overall reality that transfer of knowledge and sharing of lessons learned on a large scale had not taken place within the IT industry. For the past several years I have thought about a way to educate, inform, and empower IT professionals and businesses to promote successful projects throughout the IT and other industries. This information will be transferred by several published books, a newsletter and eventual magazine that specifically deal with current issues and processes: The IT Professional Facilitator, to be introduced by RayAnn Enterprise. To inform, educate, and development IT professionals. That is “The IT Professional Facilitator’s” Mission. “The Beginning, to empower an individual and the IT industry business community”.

Our featured author presented successful ?IT Project Management, Best Practices? at a Project Management Institute (PMI) seminar in October 2001 and recently presented “IT Project Management” at the BDPA 24th Annual National Conference in Florida. He also participated in two book signings at the Florida conference.

Let me welcome you to a partnership, enjoy the exchange, and remember, “Quality, whether top-down or bottom-up, begins with an individual”.
