CDP Partners with PRC to expand
Project Risk Analysis Solutions and Services
Charlotte, North Carolina, May 10,
2009 - Risk Management is a
very specialized area within Project Management. CDP has many
consultants familiar with the basics and fundamentals of risk.
However, when it comes to large projects and large capital
programs the risk factors are extremely greater. CDP went in
search of talent specifically in the area of risk last year in
2008 to help shore up our capabilities and support our clients
that have high risk projects and programs. After an exhaustive
search, CDP partnered with PRC and Andrew Wicklund to support
our clients for Professional Services in the area of Risk
Management. Some of our most recent engagements include CH2M
Hill and Shaw Power.

In the midst of these challenging economic times, CDP would
like to personally thank you for your continued business.
CDP is grateful to you for giving us the opportunity to serve
your Project Management Needs.
2008 was a year that started with a bang ended with an economic
grind. Thankfully CDP came out on top. CDP once again surpassed
its goals and achieved another consecutive year of growth
with Professional Services and Primavera Solution Sales. For
the second consecutive year Oracle/Primavera recognized CDP
for delivering 1 Million Dollar plus in software sales. It
was an exciting year with software sales just shy of 2 Million
Dollars. CDP was ranked number 2 for the 2008 year with Primavera
US/Canada which was a step up from our number three spot in
2007. CDP achieved double digit growth again and was ranked
second highest in growth for Primavera. In 2009 CDP looks
forward to helping all of our clients become more agile, responsive
so they may sustain these economic conditions and work to
grow their business.
