Meridian Project Systems Presents Proliance Cost Management at AACE International
Proliance integrates contract management and project controls teams through role-based workflow and security
FOLSOM, Calif. (June 10, 2004) — Meridian Project Systems®, provider of enterprise software solutions for managing large real estate, construction, corporate infrastructure and other capital-intensive initiatives, will exhibit from booth 210 and present Proliance® at the 48th annual meeting of the Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering (AACE). This year's meeting will take place June 13-16, 2004 in Washington, D.C.
Meridian will speak to the advantages of Proliance for cost management professionals during its June 15th Software Showcase presentation from 3:30 – 4:20 pm. Proliance uniquely leverages XML technology and Web services to manage projects, programs and business processes across global organizations and their external supply chains.
Meridian will present how Proliance empowers users to manage the financial evolution of a corporate real estate or capital construction project, from conceptual scope down to detailed budgets and costs. Proliance’s integrated applications and workflow drive automatic reconciliation of forecasted items as new costs and changes are created, providing users with real-time cost reporting. Managers and executives can look at budgets as they are created and spent – with an accurate view of forecasted costs, and providing instant profit and loss projections.
Proliance’s open, Service-Oriented Architecture also allows desktop applications, such as MS Office 2003 to be used as data entry and reporting tools. Proliance’s fully auditable workflow processes and financial transactions logs enable new levels of compliance with corporate governance regulations, such as Sarbanes – Oxley.
"Proliance provides a powerful tool for enterprises that need to integrate disparate functional teams to execute processes in an auditable, secure environment. Proliance can provide management teams clear insight into project financials and controls," said John Bodrozic, Meridian president and cofounder. "Meridian views AACE as an opportunity to bring a much needed solution to construction's cost management decision makers."
