Meridian' Solution to Streamline Project Management
(SACRAMENTO, CALIF., October 18, 2000) - HITT Contracting, ranked as the 108th largest general contractor in the U.S. by Engineering News Record, has selected Prolog Manager 6.0 to optimize its standard business practices. Meridian Project Systems' (Meridian) Prolog Manager 6.0 will help HITT Contracting streamline its project management and control systems while providing clients with many value-added benefits. Pre-IPO Meridian Project Systems is a leading Internet and software solutions company for the architectural, engineering and construction (AEC) industry.
According to Jim Landefeld, a divisional director for HITT Contracting, implementing Meridian' Prolog Manager 6.0 as a complete project control system will allow HITT Contracting to increase productivity while reducing costs and enhancing communication with the instantaneous sharing of information.
"In expanding our service base to support our national client alliances, our project management system has been streamlined for greater efficiency and effectiveness for all projects regardless of size or complexity," said Landefeld. "More importantly, we deliver over $1 million in construction each day and it is imperative for us to have a solution that allows real-time management of budgets and records in order to provide our customers with greater value. Meridian's Prolog Manager allows us to be on top of the status of our projects at all times."
A key feature of Prolog Manager is the ability to integrate with industry standard accounting, scheduling and other applications. This provides clients with many value-added benefits including elimination of duplicate data entry, which provides enhanced data integrity and streamlining communication. Project offices and job sites can instantly share and receive the most current information, standardizing the communication process between the office and job site. Prolog Manager also manages all aspects of bidding, buy-out, contracts, changes, costs and documentation.
"We are thrilled that HITT Contracting chose Prolog Manager to standardize their business processes," said John Bodrozic, president and co-founder of Meridian. "The software will greatly enhance the way their projects are managed and enable them to share greater and more accurate information. Prolog Manager will help ensure that project managers and teams, accounting staff and senior management are all on the same page, allowing them to provide more value to their customers."
