Problem to Solve: Interface Management
As a joint venture project with dozens of contractors to manage, the client needed to implement a system that set the standard for how projects were executed corporately. This is the first large capital project our client has managed. With contractors and suppliers spread across the globe, they needed rigorous and timely management of information. The previous system in place was not expected to handle the volume of information or provide the automation required to streamline the management of project information.

Coreworx was chosen due to a number of reasons including the proven capability to manage very large volumes of information, its built-in business processes and automation of business practices, as well as the integration of value-added applications, such as Change Management, RFI, and Interface Management.
