Problem at scale
The bureau relied heavily on Excel spreadsheets and paper documentation to manage its capital program. Extensive back-and-forth during contracting and construction stages led to manual data entry and frequent errors. Fragmented and outdated information hindered decision-making due to the lack of accurate analytical insights.
The bureau needed a solution that could:
- Manage water utility projects, budgets, and resources efficiently
- Ensure adherence to compliance standards
- Simplify contract and change event management
- Monitor project health with advanced analytics and reliable reports
- Improve internal and external communication and team collaboration

The solution delivered:
- Resource tracking across multiple construction projects to ensure proper utilization
- Automated workflows for consistent program delivery
- Real-time reports and dashboards for project health monitoring
- Integration with Power BI for advanced analytics and automatic risk alerting
Business processes automated: budget management, construction project management, contract management, change management, what-if analysis, and real-time reporting.
