In the Utility industry, project and portfolio management has become an increasing challenge. Without dedicated PPM software, the demand in Utilities for reliable, eco-friendly, and cost-effective products is harder to maintain.
A recent study found that under 10% of projects in the utilities trade are completed on time and within budget. With this industry requiring multiple projects across the chain, companies must use software like Execview for faster decision making. With Execview, projects to stay on track and within the cost limit.
What are the challenges in Utilities Project Management?
Complexity: Utilities is an evolving industry with a continuing emphasis placed on technology. This industry evolution creates more complex projects and more complicated solutions. Without the tracking and reporting of Execview, complexities are missed and become more significant problems down the project line.
Scalability: Studies have shown that since the year 2000, project size in Utilities has decreased by 27%, while the number of projects has increased 40%. The changing nature of Utility projects places a greater demand on companies to manage an increasing number of smaller-scale projects. Without PPM software like Execview that offers essential tools and resources, these projects can go out of control.
Maintenance-management: The products and services offered in Utilities naturally require regular maintenance. Keeping on top of this is a crucial task for a Utility company. Lots of small-scale issues can quickly add up to one large-scale problem. Without Execview’s automation and reportability, companies lack sufficient time to oversee maintenance.
Managing financial resources: We recognise that investment in Utilities comes in many forms such as private funding, profit reinvestment, and government-related grants and loans. Each financial asset requires individual management for specific use. Software like Execview allows for easy allocation of resources, eliminating confusion and improving efficiency.
