Making a way to digital future: Integrated systems in project controls

Challenges and need of an integrated system

In project execution, this is no more evident when the management team attempts to execute large, multi-faceted projects in the same way as we successfully executed smaller projects. Often, it is executed approximately with the same number of ‘experienced’ people and with the same number of tools and resources. The often-hailed words“We have done it before and we will do it again”  are mostly heard at the start of the project.

However, the results speak for themselves, wherein larger projects, project managers, project engineers and project controls personnel simply cannot handle the amount of data being thrown at them from various quarters. This then leads to ‘rolling-up’ of data and loss of data clarity.

Inevitably the project controls team become a project reporting function, rather than delivering on its primary mandate to assist project management in project forecasting. Instead of providing look-a-heads at timely intervals, they instead report on events that have already happened, thereby crippling the management team of its most valuable planning resource.

Automated, integrated software tools that utilize the full power of modern-day computing help management teams in successfully building ever bigger and more complex projects successfully. These software solutions do exist currently and this blog attempts to exhort the benefits of using these tailored software solutions to deliver project objectives.
