Upon exiting the auditorium Madam Siti Rafizah Bt. Mohd Kasiran provided further explanation to the SS detailing how progress is updated into the software in order to determine divergences from the approved baselines and providing visibility to ‘sick’ and near ‘sick’ projects.
This high time that Sarawakians, much sought after internationally due to their expertise and ability to withstand pressure and challenges, be provided the opportunity to work in their own state instead of ‘bejalai’ (seeking greener pastures elsewhere).

Client gets blinded with the cost invested on the system and expecting a magic wonder in their project monitoring system but forgetting the foundation of the solution is dependent on the competency of the user that will drive efficiency of the Project Management Solution. Where by PCSS Solution emphasize on increasing the maturity of Project Control Knowledge and changing the Project Control culture.’ With the architect of the solution, it is more economical for the client and reduces the investment on the system setup and focus on PCSS consultation services.
