University of Rochester Selects Construction Project Management Software from Meridian Systems
PSS Group to deliver Prolog software and implementation services
FOLSOM, Calif. (December 11, 2007) – Meridian Systems, a software solutions leader for improving capital program and construction project performance, announced today that the University of Rochester selected Prolog® software to standardize project management processes and to increase visibility across all campus construction projects. The University is working directly with PSS Group, a Meridian authorized reseller, who will provide Prolog software and manage the implementation process.
The University of Rochester campus is located in upstate New York. Constant expansion and renovation of current and new buildings drove the University to research a system to standardize project management processes and document approval procedures. Currently the University has more than 11 million square feet of space, and is pursuing more than 200,000 square feet of new construction, ongoing renovation, and aggressive plans for growth.
“Prolog allows us to centralize data so that up-to-date information can be shared by each project team,” said Patricia Beaumont, University of Rochester Director of Support Operations, University Facilities and Services. “We want to manage jobs more efficiently by improving collaboration and visibility throughout all phases of our projects.”
Prolog delivers total project management control for construction projects by automating day-to-day tasks and processes, from project design to close-out.
