PMPlatform

The Product:
This website is maintained with PMPlatform, a software product designed by the PMI Central Indiana Chapter (PMI CIC) to address internal concerns regarding the management of its website and communications.  PMI CIC has developed a licensing model to make PMPlatform available to other PMI components in an effort to assist in their growth and success and to drive a shared revenue model that can be used to further enhance the software product.

The Technology:
Developed by Indianapolis-based development firm TGFI in close partnership with PMI CIC, PMPlatform is built in the Ruby on Rails web portal solution, an open-source Linux environment that utilizes a MySQL database.  By using open-source tools, TGFI continues to include greater functionality at lower costs.
