Pinnacle Management Systems

What Pinnacle Management Systems does

Pinnacle Management Systems, Inc. is a privately held management consulting firm founded in 1993 and headquartered in Warrenton, Virginia. The firm specializes in helping organizations maximize the value of Enterprise Project Management (EPM), Earned Value Management (EVM), and Integrated Program Management (IPM) technology investments. Its core services span management consulting, third-party software implementation, and customized training, delivered under an "EPPM" umbrella that includes Enterprise Project Management, Enterprise Project Controls, Project Portfolio Management, Earned Value Management, Integrated Program Management, and the PMTalent training sub-brand. Pinnacle has served more than 200 organizations across aerospace & defense, government & public sector, engineering & construction, energy/utilities/oil & gas, technology, finance & insurance, and healthcare, with an emphasis on federal contractors and government agencies requiring EIA-748 EVMS compliance for DoD, DOE, and civilian agency contracts.

The firm does not develop proprietary enterprise software. Instead, it acts as a vendor-neutral implementation partner for leading third-party project, portfolio, and EVM platforms, including Microsoft EPM (Project Online), Oracle Primavera (P6 EPPM, Unifier), Deltek PPM (Cobra, Open Plan, Costpoint), forProject, Encore Analytics Empower, OnePlan, and SNA Software. Its consulting work covers management consulting, business system implementations, and training/adoption, while internal methodologies, processes, training curricula, and the PMTalent sub-brand constitute in-house IP. Pinnacle holds core partnership statuses with Oracle (Modern OPN), Deltek (Silver), Microsoft, and forProject (EVMS Services Partner), and pursues standards-shaping roles in NDIA IPMD, the Civilian Agency Industry Working Group (CAIWG), EFCOG, and the College of Performance Management (CPM), including serving as Dean of Scheduling at CPM and co-authoring the NDIA EVMS Scalability Guide.

Pinnacle runs a direct enterprise field sales motion targeting large organizations and government contractors, with multi-year, quote-based engagements. Federal procurement access is enabled through GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) and FAA eFast MOA contracting vehicles. Revenue is generated entirely through professional services across management consulting, technology implementation, and training streams, with pricing customized to engagement scope and not publicly disclosed. The firm is led by President Michael Breuker (appointed January 2020) and operates with a headcount of 11-50 employees, with no disclosed ownership changes, funding events, or M&A activity.
