Challenges
As the mining company expanded its capital portfolio across regions, fragmented systems and manual processes made it harder to maintain consistent cost control, forecasting and executive visibility.
- Lengthy reporting cycles and manual data reconciliation delayed executive visibility into cost, forecast and change exposure
- Fragmented tools and inconsistent processes became difficult to govern as project scale and regional complexity increased
- The company needed an enterprise-grade platform that could standardize project controls and reporting across regions and project maturity levels
Solution
To support a growing portfolio of complex mining projects, the company needed a scalable project controls platform that could unify cost management, forecasting, reporting and change control across regions.
- Selected Contruent Enterprise to provide a single integrated source of truth for cost management, forecasting, commitments and change control
- Integrated cost, schedule and financial data while connecting directly with the company’s Pronto ERP system
- Enabled rapid deployment and a portfolio-based approach that allows future projects to be added in a fast, low-friction manner
Results
Following the initial implementation, the mining company established faster, more consistent project controls processes with stronger executive visibility, forecasting confidence and change governance across its capital projects.
- Reduced reporting cycles from weeks to days
- Improved forecasting accuracy and cost control
- Strengthened governance with auditable workflows
“We helped them stand up an environment in eight weeks instead of our usual 12.”
