Streamline your operations

Infrastructure projects are notoriously complicated, typically containing many moving parts, teams of participants and multiple phases of completion. While such projects require massive amounts of funding, they also represent a major investment in human capital. These projects can often impact the lives and safety of everyone within that community — or even people from other places.

Use cases

Manage increasingly divergent demands

With large public infrastructure projects, local authorities often want to maximize value for taxpayers, contractors want to make good margins with little oversight, and the managing agencies want to deliver a quality outcome on budget. The scale and complexity of these public works projects demand traceability of requirements throughout the life of the project. Adopting an end-to-end requirements elicitation and management system from RFP to completion provides a single, transparent view of the impact of any changes made during the project, allowing management to make informed decisions quickly.

Managing your infrastructure projects

Successful public infrastructure projects require the management of a complex set of requirements efficiently across many contractors and suppliers. From the creation of the Request for Proposal and as the project moves forward, managing requirements and changes in requirements is critical. Understanding the risk, cost and time impact of requirement changes as well as linking requirements to work status and verification, ensures that requirements are fully met, helping project teams to deliver a successful project.
