FOLSOM, Calif. (March 31, 2006) - Meridian Systems® , a provider of enterprise project management software for optimizing capital projects, programs and facilities, announced today a new webinar entitled Using Business Intelligence to Optimize Capital Projects, Programs and Facilities. This new webinar provides insight into the Business Intelligence (BI) market space, and features insights from Gartner research vice president, Bill Hostmann.
Corporate real estate, construction and facilities executives will receive an overview from Mr. Hostmann on BI technology and how they apply within today’s corporate environment. Bruno Berti, sr. director of product line management at Meridian, follows with an introduction to the Proliance® software solution, and reviews how BI capabilities have been incorporated into this enterprise construction project management offering from Meridian Systems.
“Using business intelligence technology to increase visibility across the entire real estate and construction project lifecycle is now a reality,” said Berti. “By incorporating analytics into Proliance, our customers can measure performance across their entire capital project and facilities portfolio, and ensure these assets are strategically aligned with corporate revenue and growth objectives.”
Proliance software allows organizations to optimize their entire portfolio of capital projects, programs and facilities by automating the complete Plan-Build-Operate asset lifecycle.
