VPMi is a suite of Project Portfolio Management software used by companies to gain visibility into their project portfolio to manage schedules, budgets, scope, alignment with strategies, balanced scorecard, resources, and documents. The VPMi suite was created, in part, to help prevent miscommunication between business units and IT staff. ^[1]. The VPMi suite is comprised of two software tools, VPMi Professional and VPMi Express. Both applications are developed by VCSonline, a company headquartered in St. Louis Missouri with offices in Denver, Colorado and Kolkata, India.

VCSonline was founded in 1998 by 2 Ernst & Young project management consultants. The first release of VPMi Professional was released at the end of 1998. The latest release of VPMi is version 4.0.
