New Jersey City University Selects Projectmates Construction Management Software for Major Projects

/in , /by

Richardson, TX (PRWEB) January 14, 2014

Systemates, Inc. is excited to announce a new partnership with New Jersey City University. With multiple major projects planned, New Jersey City University sought a construction project management software that would efficiently streamline their upcoming construction projects. After reviewing several vendors, NJCU deemed Projectmates to be the best fit.

New Jersey City University recently announced three major construction projects planned: a 103,000 sq. ft. West Campus Academic building, expansion and renovation of their current Science building, and a 415 bed residence hall. In addition, NJCU will also be undertaking several renovation projects designed to meet the needs of their academic programs in coordination with the school’s Facilities Master Plan. As a result of the variety and scope of the projects, NJCU decided to look into a construction management solution that fit the needs of education programs.

“Projectmates demonstrated that it was the best fit for our needs,” said Andrew Christ, Associate Vice President, and Deborah Morales, Associate Director of Facilities and Construction Management. “It is focused on construction project management; has a variety of templates that we can use, provides excellent ‘at your fingertips’ executive reports, is cloud based, and was within budget.”

NJCU’s main needs consisted of a tool that would provide consistent and streamlined processes of their cost tracking. Not only does Projectmates have the ability to streamline workflows, it also stores and manages all related construction data in one location. Because Projectmates is a web-based multi-platform solution, all team members, from project managers through Directors, can input information anywhere at any time.

Additionally, Projectmates’ extensive out-of-the-box reporting feature allows for a snapshot of individual projects as well as the construction program in its entirety. Executive management at NJCU will now have access to project information at a moment’s time, engaging team members and partners in a way that encourages collaboration and provides historical data for future planning needs.

About New Jersey City University

At New Jersey City University, goals and dreams are right at home. NJCU is large enough to provide world-class opportunities for learning. Yet, our classes are small enough to afford a highly-personalized experience that empowers students to realize their greatest aspirations.

It begins with academic excellence. NJCU’s fully-accredited colleges of arts and sciences, education and professional studies offer 41 undergraduate degree programs and 27 masters programs and 2 doctoral programs, including emerging and interdisciplinary fields. A student-teacher ratio of 12:1 and average class size of 24 translate to exceptional attention from a dedicated, innovative and involved faculty.

County of Ventura Standardizes Construction Information Management with e-Builder Software

/in , /by

Ft. Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) March 27, 2012

e-Builder, the pioneer of web-based construction program management software, announced today that the County of Ventura, California, has selected e-Builder Enterprise to more efficiently manage their construction program information, communications, and executive reporting. Initially, the Countys Engineering Services Department will leverage e-Builders Cost, Processes, Scheduling, Reporting, and Documents modules for their vertical construction projects (fire stations, hospitals). Following the initial implementation, other departments, including Water and Sanitation, Transportation and Watershed Protection, will leverage the software later in 2012.

The primary goal for County of Ventura County is standardizing all construction program management, cost tracking and reporting. The Engineering Services team is currently managing 27 projects in all phases from planning through construction, including a $ 200 million hospital replacement project. They realized the benefits of consolidating the vast amount of information generated by these projects with e-Builder, and using integrated reporting capabilities to aggregate data into a broad range of project reports and executive dashboards. Automatically distributed to Countys management teams, these reports will provide a single-point of visibility into the overall status of the Countys projects. Management teams will then easily track availability of funds, potential cost exposures, cashflow requirements, and accurate forecasts of projected cost to complete.

Phil Nelson, Director of Engineering Services, believes e-Builder will help control the flow of information and communications during a projects lifecycle. As a result, Nelson expects a streamlined and improved audit process. We will benefit from the flexibility to customize and generate executive reports, as these will help us be more transparent said Nelson.

Jonathan Antevy, e-Builder CEO, commented we are experiencing a lot of interest from government organizations looking to enable a more structured and reliable approach to managing construction projects, especially those financed by federal and state funds.

Mooyah Restaurant Chain Shakes it up with Projectmates Construction Management Software

/in , /by


Dallas, TX (PRWEB) April 10, 2012

Systemates, Inc. today announced that fast casual restaurant chain MOOYAH, home of the Better Burger and no dud spud, will leverage Projectmates construction management software for its rapidly growing franchise chain. MOOYAH is among the top movers and shakers in the restaurant industry with over a dozen restaurants under construction currently and 50 to 60 new restaurants expected to open later this year across the U.S.

Projectmates puts the organization of our data on steroids, said Tom Pritzkau, Construction Director at MOOYAH. It will impact our ability to provide data and communicate with our stakeholders while providing our entire staff with the ability to do more work efficiently with less time spent.

Projectmates stands apart from other construction project management software for restaurant construction when it comes to ease of use, flexible configuration, and cost tracking business process automation. For example, single-page project summary reports provide project updates with critical vitals so high-level stakeholders as well as franchisees quickly get the pulse of their projects without having to navigate through complex software.

MOOYAH will use the construction management software for the entire restaurant construction process, from the time a franchisee and site are selected though design, construction, and restaurant grand opening. As a central information hub, Projectmates will even house training guides for food preparation and store maintenance.

With new restaurants opening across the country, MOOYAH will also leverage the mapping feature in Projectmates. Projects can be tracked geographically on a map with the ability to filter by region, project manager, and franchisee. Not only that, MOOYAH will be able to pinpoint visually those projects that are complete, in progress, and overdue.

About Mooyah

MOOYAH is a rapidly growing fast casual restaurant chain based in Dallas, Texas. Founded in 2007 by Rick Hicks, founder of Tin Star, and his partner, Todd Istre, MOOYAH’s mission is to deliver the best Burger & Fry experience EVER, and have fun doing it. That’s it. They want to make the best burger you’ve ever tasted. Period. To learn more about MOOYAH, visit http://www.mooyah.com.
