How Laminar™ PMO-as-a Service is Unique
Light. Personalized. Intuitive. Automated.

Purposefully designed to be low-maintenance and fully automated, to provide leaders with the intelligence they need to do what they do best, even better.

impacting operational decisions and internal efficiency, ultimately, lower performance.

What our clients say
“There are portfolio management tools out there that are competent, but they tend to require significant investment and effort to maintain. Being a medium-sized company, I did not think that they were appropriate, but I still wanted the dashboarding, visibility, and transparency. Laminar™, with in-built PMO best practices, seemed a great fit.”
