The
summer is off to a sizzling start here at RMPI! The pipeline is filling fast,
and we have seen an unprecedented number of completed applications submitted
along with their checks for due diligence. It looks like this summer will wind
up going down as hot in our record books!
We owe a lot of this recent success to our
Contractor
Financing Program® (for contractors working on
public works contracts). We help contractors, who would otherwise not qualify
for traditional financing, obtain the funds they need by utilizing our
Resource
Monitoring Services® We supply the funds, and we
control the funds.
In addition, we have had a
number of large funding sources ask if we would provide our
Resource Monitoring Services® to help
protect some of their more risky accounts. Of course, we agreed, and it has
been a great way for us to become more involved with the lending community.
I wish you all a safe, enjoyable Summer,
and profitable third quarter! .

RALEIGH, N.C. — One reason the perfect project manager is so hard to find is
that few companies provide an environment in which the best project managers
can thrive, management consultant FMI Corp. states in its 2006 Project
Management Survey report.
FMI believes
it may be more profitable for companies to spend less time chasing after the
mythical perfect project manager and more time creating a culture that fosters
perfect project management.
In addition
