The prestigious award presented by the International Project Management Association (IPMA) and the Romanian Project Management Association (APMR) confirms the value of the Romanian IT Based Educational System Program

“The Excellence Award in Project Management” is an important competition organized annually by IPMA and APMR that awards Romanian teams with excellent results in Project Management.

The award ceremony reunited representatives of the most important companies and institutions with exceptional results in project administration and implementation, as well as numerous specialists from this domain. This year the event benefited from the presence of Mr. Otto Zieglmeier, IPMA Vice President, and Mr. Stanislaw Sroka, President of IPMA Poland.

This year, “The Oscar in Project Management” was granted for the Romanian IT based Educational System (SEI), the national IT program for the pre-university educational system – a project initiated by the Romanian Ministry of Education and Research and implemented by SIVECO Romania in partnership with IBM and HP.

The objective of the SEI Program is to encourage innovative teaching and to stimulate the creativity of both pupils and teachers. It provides an environment that favors project-development and the participation of all of the system's beneficiaries for the further advancement of the information society and of eLearning. The IT-based Educational System contributes to the improvement of the curriculum by integrating modern teaching-learning methods with other components of the program.

The results and the coherence of SIVECO’s project represented major arguments for awarding SEI yet another "best practice" distinction - this time in the field of Project Management.

“SEI project demonstrates there is a Romanian Project that respects the international principles and efficiency criteria of excellence in project Management”, declared Ştefan Morcov, SEI Project Manager.

“This award certifies the quality of the entire management process and the great results obtained by this program implementation, that briefly, represented the delivery of 4780 IT laboratory in schools and high schools from Romania, 1650 interactive lessons, the training of 60.000 teachers, and last but not least, the effort of an impressive team and a large number of partners. The success of this project was ensured by a permanent communication with partners, and by a project management based on strictly efficiency criteria.”, added Ştefan Morcov.
