Planning & Scheduling

Successful engineering and construction projects begin with accurate planning, budgeting, estimating, and scheduling to minimize risk. A typical first step is to assemble a dedicated project team to share the tasks required to solve the problem and assess the feasibility.

  • Improved project profit margin
  • Accelerated project setup time and earlier closeout

If the project gets past the engineering feasibility stage, the collaborative process of initial design begins, and more resources are added to the project. Starting with the design phase, value engineering, design reviews and engineering change management are controlled, collaborative processes that follow established procedures and continue through the remainder of the project lifecycle.

Companies must be able to aggregate information and collaborate to increase bidding productivity. They need Web-based collaboration for engineering, construction and operations teams to work together effectively at a distance from each other and with content in disparate formats.

OpenText helps you address these challenges with Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solutions for planning & scheduling, including a document management system that acts as a document collection and distribution mechanism, delivering a single, comprehensive set of instructions to the engineering team.

OpenText solutions for Planning & Scheduling deliver this functionality with the following components:

Supplemented by Business Content (e.g., predefined workflows) to give you a head-start in configuring workstreams and processes, Consulting Services, Training and Support tailored to meet your requirements.
