Customer Case Study: Alberici Corporation
Alberici Corporation Uses Prolog Software to Achieve Greater Efficiencies, Market-Specific Standardization and Real-Time Project Controls
When Alberici purchased Prolog Manager from Meridian Systems in 2000, the software was never fully implemented across the enterprise.
