Meridian partner Byrne Software to provide implementation services for Prolog Converge
FOLSOM, Calif. (March 2, 2011) – Meridian Systems, the Plan-Build-Operate technology solutions leader for project-based organizations, announced today that Clayco, Inc. (Clayco), one of the nation’s largest, privately-owned real estate, architecture and engineering, design/build and construction firms, has added Prolog® Converge to their current Prolog software solution. Prolog Converge, a rich Web-based user interface and powerful Web services platform, has been selected to provide detailed document tracking, reporting and an easy way for the entire company to collaborate. Clayco is working directly with Byrne Software, an authorized Meridian Consulting Partner, to complete the implementation.
Since 1984, Clayco has completed more than 90,000,000 square feet of new construction and 15,000,000 square feet of renovation work in the U.S. In addition, the company has completed development of more than 2,700 acres of land. The company has an exceptional reputation for a turn-key approach on projects that require a very competitive solution on a fast-track schedule.
“Our executive management was pushing for increased collaboration, which directly correlates with efficiency and better reporting,” says Chris Walser, Clayco, Inc. chief information officer. "Prolog Converge makes it easier for everyone to access and manage their data in the same system, so all of the data is current and available for executive reporting.”
Clayco has been using Prolog software since 1998, and selected Prolog Converge to help its project teams to collaborate more efficiently, and to offer its users flexibility in accessing and managing critical project data. Byrne Software will be handling implementation services for Prolog Converge, including the integration of Byrne’s custom Budget Forecasting/Earned Value application.
“In this economy, our customers are looking for ways to reduce risk and be recognized as an innovator of technology,” says William Byrne, Byrne Software chief operating officer. “The deployment of Prolog Converge coupled with Byrne Software’s Earned Value application enables Clayco to adopt forward-thinking processes that can result in project management best practices across their organization. Byrne Software is privileged to serve as trusted advisors to the Clayco Team and we commend them for their leadership and adoption of technology.”
