Case Study: AECOM achieves better program control and faster decisions with InEight

AECOM builds a 3,000-line-item program controls engine with InEight

AECOM, a Fortune 500 infrastructure consulting firm, faced a challenge in managing large, complex construction programs due to a lack of alignment between top-down strategy and bottom-up execution. They needed an integrated program controls system to ensure transparency, visibility, and robust risk management across all projects. To address this, AECOM collaborated with vendor InEight to co-create a solution using their project controls software, including InEight Schedule.

The solution, the Program Controls Engine built on InEight software, provided a centralized single source of truth that vertically and horizontally integrated data from contracts to projects to programs. This enabled enhanced decision-making, efficiency gains, and synchronized activities around shared real-time data. InEight helped AECOM achieve measurable results, such as building an integrated schedule with nearly 3,000 line items to manage over 30,000 contractor activities on a New York City subway program, leading to timely, informed decisions and reduced debate during payment processes.
