MICAN Project Portal

This web-based portal will provide customers, suppliers, and professional and technical associates alike with a common project collaboration site. It is a new approach to building technical facilities and managing projects. It offers great teaming possibilities to assist our clients and customers with their plans, strategies, and technical solutions.

A project portal is a communication platform dedicated to advanced project management. Typically, only the project members have access to the Portal. All may add information to it or retrieve information from it. A project member will be defined as any valid stakeholder within a specific project. Users will be assigned email addresses relevant to the project. Chat and bulletin boards will be also be available to discuss project topics and interact.

  • A project portal answers questions like:
  • What is the goal of the project?
  • What is the scope of the project?
  • Who are the project members?
  • What are the tasks to be performed within the project?
  • What is the project planning?
  • What are the milestones within the project?
  • What is the status of these tasks and degree of completion?
  • What are the costs of the project?
  • What are the risks of the project?

It is also a central depository for all of the relevant project files, drawings, images and specifications. It is a place where "lessons learned" from previous efforts are stored for immediate referral. All of the project minutes, plans, technical details, standards and related information are instantly available to any authorized user. It is a secure web site. So, no one but an authorized user will be permitted to gain access. And, access is only gained to their project files, no one else's files can be seen. It will offer a hierarchical security and access feature. That means that different stakeholders in a project will only be granted access to the level of data found on the site that is appropriate to their specific needs.

Who can access the MICAN Project Portal? Stakeholders such as:

  • Customers
  • Suppliers
  • Associates

Accessing MICAN Best Practices and the MICAN Knowledge Base areas will all be achieved from the MICAN Project Portal for the exclusive use of our clients and customers.

Stay tuned, the development of this new and exciting web site is currently underway. The MICAN Project Portal promises to offer great value. It will provide the glue to bind a group of project stakeholders firmly together into a strong cohesive team. It sounds like fun stuff!
