Case Study: Los Angeles Department of Water & Power achieves better capital program cost controls with Hexagon EcoSys

Capital program cost controls at Los Angeles Department of Water & Power

The Los Angeles Department of Water & Power (LADWP) faced significant challenges in managing its $6.5 billion capital program, which included over 200 projects. Their outdated system led to inefficient, manual monthly reporting, a lack of project performance visibility, and difficulty ensuring data consistency, making it hard to meet critical regulatory deadlines. To overcome these issues, they partnered with vendor Hexagon to implement its EcoSys™ Enterprise Project Performance software.

Hexagon's solution integrated with LADWP's existing systems to automate data sharing, standardize project structures, and provide role-based dashboards for real-time visibility. This implementation substantially reduced the labor required for data processing, from days to minutes, and eliminated errors from manual work. The utility gained immediate insights into project performance, enabling better cost control and the ability to quickly respond to management requests, ensuring they could effectively meet their regulatory requirements.
