Challenges
Decentralized project controls left each region using different standards and tools, with no reliable way to compare or consolidate performance. The result was slow reporting, heavy manual effort and limited visibility into whether spending matched progress.
- No consistent way to aggregate KPIs or compare performance across regions
- 12–15 day month-end close driven by manual, low-value data reconciliation
- Weak link between cost and progress, limiting early detection of overruns
Solution
The company needed faster closeouts and integrated cost and schedule without a long rollout. Contruent Enterprise stood out for its speed to deploy and out-of-the-box fit, enabling standardization across regions.
- Rapid implementation with minimal customization required
- Out-of-the-box fit met regional needs without rework
- Enabled global standardization and consistent cross-region comparisons
Results
A fast, low-customization rollout in South America proved the model and led to global adoption, delivering aligned data, multi-currency forecasting and enterprise-wide visibility.
- ~66% faster month-end close, freeing teams for higher-value work
- Integrated cost and schedule data enables proactive performance management
- Unified global view of project performance across regions
“They now have much better visibility into performance and forecasting, which allows them to proactively manage their budgets
instead of reacting.”
