About EcoSys
EcoSys is a full project lifecycle management platform, providing the ultimate
solution for high levels of project and portfolio performance across the
enterprise. Within a single integrated solution, EcoSys offers enterprise-
wide visibility and accountability into the utilization of financial and human
resources, alignment to organizational strategy, cutting-edge performance
measurement and forecasting, and effective communication and resolution
of changes, risks and issues. EcoSys delivers both professional and personal
confidence that you are leveraging the best intelligence, making the best
decisions and maximizing the performance of your entire project ecosystem.
Enterprise Project Performance
Simply delivering quality projects on time and on budget is no longer an acceptable
benchmark of success. Instead, project performance today requires a broader perspective.
Do our project portfolios deliver the intended strategy? Are business goals and financial
objectives being met? Only by selecting the right projects, in conjunction with exceptional
project delivery, can you meet and exceed the performance results demanded today.

Yet the scale and complexity of today’s projects and portfolios have made it difficult
to achieve and maintain high levels of performance. The difference between how most
engineering and construction projects are expected to perform and how they really perform
is often stark. Inconsistent processes and low predictability throughout the projects
lifecycle are yielding regular cost and schedule overages and sporadic business results.

A new way of working is imperative, galvanized by an industry leading platform powered by


and empowering Digital Transformation.

EcoSys Enterprise Project Performance software allows both owners and contractors to
select the right projects to drive their business and growth objectives, and then deliver
them as efficiently as possible.

EcoSys frees up our

One Solution for All Projects
In most organizations, the largest projects are supported by well-defined
processes and systems. But too often, smaller projects experience much less
rigorous project management. Why? It’s usually too costly and too much effort to
apply the same standards, tools and processes to small projects.

Instead, small projects are typically managed with different custom or in-house
solutions. As a result, an organization has good visibility into major projects,
comprising about 20% of the portfolio, and limited insights for the remaining 80%.

Typical Challenges for Small Projects How EcoSys Solves Them

• Siloes of data make project teams less • Out-of-the-box processes cover full
efficient lifecycle of projects and portfolios
• Inaccurate and out-of-date data inhibits • Reduce number of project systems
decision making • Easily integrate with other data sources
• Reporting is manual & time consuming when needed using EcoSys Connect
• Managing many systems is costly and • Scalability and flexibility for projects of
difficult any number, size or type
• Inflexible software doesn’t adapt to • Easily apply standards / best practices
work processes • Add business processes as you evolve
• Lack of governance and control • Full visibility into performance of all
• Limited visibility into project performance projects

EcoSys allows you to consolidate your tangled web of point solutions, instead
using one login to access one database. This means you can leverage the
benefits of centralized data and real-time insights on every project in your
enterprise, all from one place.
