Rainmaker Services and Capabilities
It doesn't matter if you're out to land a new contract or trying to execute the ones you have, we are ready to help! Here's what we can do for you:Planning and Scheduling
Project Planning
Detailed plans support flawless execution. During the proposal process each facet of the program must be examined and the results documented in a series of plans and schedules. Waiting to plan until the contract is awarded can lead to delayed starts, over budget projects, and loss of flexibility. Rainmaker has especially well developed planning and scheduling techniques that will produce achievable plans within the resources allocated.Budgeting and EVMS
The Earned Value Management System (EVMS) is rapidly evolving from a "nice to have" management tool to a mandatory tool on certain contracts. Implementing EVMS requires detailed program schedules, time phased budgets, and knowledge of the process. Rainmaker can help guide you through the process.New Business Pursuit
