Case Study: North American Public Transport Organization strengthens project controls and improves budget tracking with Contruent

How a North American Public Transport Organization had several major projects around building or extending rail lines and corresponding facilities

North American Public Transport Organization was managing more than a dozen major rail and facility projects and needed stronger project controls for government-funded, voter-approved work. Lacking company-wide processes and relying on spreadsheets, they needed a standard application to improve budget oversight, cost tracking, and schedule alignment. Contruent’s ARES PRISM was used to support these efforts.

Contruent implemented project controls software with cost management, change management, and out-of-the-box reporting. The result was effective budget tracking, improved contingency and change management, integrated cost and schedule data, and more trustworthy reports. The organization also gained better forecasting and cash flow visibility with Contruent Enterprise.
