Case Study: Burns & McDonnell keeps projects running smoothly with Hexagon EcoSys

Burns & McDonnell Uses EcoSys to Keep Projects Running Smoothly Throughout Coronavirus Pandemic

Burns & McDonnell, a leading global design and construction firm, needed to quickly adapt its project management and financial systems to meet the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. The company faced the dual challenge of identifying and prioritizing critical infrastructure projects related to the crisis while simultaneously enabling its entire workforce to manage these projects remotely without disruption. To address this, they turned to their existing technology partner, Hexagon, and its EcoSys Enterprise Project Performance software.

Hexagon's web-based and highly configurable EcoSys platform allowed Burns & McDonnell to swiftly create a process for flagging and reporting on COVID-19 projects, integrating this data with their ERP system in just four hours. This agility enabled the firm to effectively manage a remote workforce and maintain high performance across nearly 10,000 critical projects. The solution was so successful that Burns & McDonnell expanded its use of EcoSys, which is now used by over 2,000 employees to manage more than 29,000 projects.
