About IHI E&C International
This case study explores how IHI E&C International Corporation (IHI E&C), a Houston-based engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) company that provides energy solutions around the globe, utilizes ARES PRISM project controls software for cost management, change management, and reporting.
Like many project organizations, IHI E&C previously relied on high-level spreadsheets and needed a dependable tool to manage cost data, change, and provide standardized reporting while minimizing their dependency on spreadsheets. Implementing PRISM project management software resulted in IHI E&C saving 10-15% time during their closeout periods, increased confidence in report outputs, and creating a trusted centralized data source.
