Project Management team
CENIC’s Program Management Office (PMO) serves as the primary point of contact for our members and provides end-to-end project management services for all service deployment activities including connectivity upgrades, optical services, and DDoS Mitigation services. Starting with a call or email from a member institution, the assigned CENIC project manager facilitates meetings with CENIC engineers to develop tailored solutions, requests quotes from service providers, authorizes and manages service delivery, and hands the completed service to CENIC's Network Operations Center for active monitoring. The CENIC PMO also applies its expertise to internal initiatives that improve the deployment, reliability, and quality of the services CENIC provides to its members. Our mission is to provide a solid foundation for internal and external projects by creating an environment of measurable, disciplined Project Management professionalism, and a track record of leading projects through to completion.
