IMS Customer Snapshot

Houston Metro

Houston, Texas www.ridemetro.org

Business Challenge

• Lack of a single source for all contract documents.
• Dispersed contract documents across multiple versions of Primavera Contract Management.
• Inconsistent and inefficient business processes for contract management.
• To provide internal and external access to Primavera Contract Management for all parties through an independently hosted system.

Solution

• Upgraded and consolidated all existing Primavera Contract Management systems into a single central database hosted in an accessible 3rd party data center.
• Migration of over a half a terabyte of contract document attachments into the new system.
• Creation of industry best practice processes and procedures to accomplishing the appropriate contract management requirements.
• Elevated Primavera Contract Management software knowledge of team members through targeted training.
• Capitalized on Best-Practice integrations across the institution.

Future Enhancements

IMS is currently in the second year of the five-year engagement with Houston Metro. Future enhancements include upgrades to Oracle Primavera Contract Management 14 with a rewrite of customer reports in Oracle BI Publisher. In addition, an instance of P6 will be provisioned to contain the schedules related to the contracts in Contract Management.
