Ada County Highway District Standardizes on Prolog Construction Project Management Software
Meridian partner P7 Integration delivers software and implementation services
FOLSOM, Calif. (May 11, 2009) -- Meridian Systems, the Plan-Build-Operate (PBO) technology solutions leader for project-based organizations, announced today that Ada County Highway District (ACHD) of Boise, Idaho, has selected Prolog® software to standardize its construction management processes. ACHD is working directly with P7 Integration, a Meridian Systems Value Added Reseller (VAR), to implement Prolog Manager and Prolog WebSite across the organization.
As a public agency, ACHD adopted Prolog to manage complex capital projects more effectively and improve construction project accountability. After a year-long evaluation and request for proposal (RFP) process, ACHD selected Prolog as its project management solution and P7 Integration as its professional services provider. P7 Integration sells the Prolog suite of applications as well as provides implementation, training and consulting services.
“ACHD’s selection of Prolog highlights its adaptability to integrate with other business systems, allowing clients to manage their projects more efficiently,” says Steve King, President, P7 Integration. “Upon completion of the implementation, ACHD will have the ability to better respond to the unique project management needs in the Department of Transportation (DOT) arena.”
“We’re eager to see how Prolog can help us to provide best management practices for the more than 200 projects the ACHD has in progress at any one time,” said Steve Dean, ACHD’s Capital Projects Manager.
Working from a five-year work plan, Prolog will manage ACHD projects from conceptualization, scope, funding allocation, design, right-of-way acquisition, construction, bidding, contract awards, construction, and closeout.
Prolog software delivers total project management control for construction projects by automating day-to-day tasks and processes, from project design to close-out.
