Irvine, CA, October 09, 2014 -- Remediation Consulting Group Inc. (RCGI) (www.rcgi.ca), an environmental consulting company dedicated to providing effective solutions for environmental issues faced by clients in the upstream oil and gas industry, has replaced their previous solution with Project Insight project management software (www.projectinsight.net) to better control their projects and provide clarity to all project managers and staff.

Based in Alberta, Canada and responsible for hundreds of growing projects ranging from $1,500 to $150,000, RCGI was facing serious setbacks coordinating schedules, cost, and project scope.

“We had been using a different software solution for time entry, materials tracking and invoicing,” said Marc Lalonde, RCGI Chief Financial Officer. “As the company grew, however, this vertical solution no longer met our needs. Our two biggest problems were keeping control of ongoing projects and finding a mechanism to forecast according to actual project information.”

As it became obvious that RCGI needed a new project management software solution, they found that Project Insight was “the one that best fit” their needs according to Lalonde. In addition, he was able to forecast the following key attributes and benefits:

ATTRIBUTE | BENEFIT

Cloud-based, web-based (any device) | Accessible from office, home or field

Simple, consistent user interface | Shorter learning curve

Flexible, PMI-compliant functionality | Consistent with PMP training

Higher speed user interface | Lower ongoing costs

Portfolio management | Input into choice of clients/project types/niches

Budget tracking | Control internal and client costs

Time and expense recording and approvals| Retain current functionality

Project billing | PMs still determine what is actually billed

Document management | Documents and emails are more easily found

Scheduling,task allocation&calendaring | Senior/PM personnel are interrupted less often

Collaboration support | Communications are better documented and more available

Work breakdown planning and scheduling | Better resource and financial forecasting

Project monitoring by exception /status | Better client communication and perceived competence

Project exception reporting | PMs can handle a larger number of projects

Automatic notifications | Enhanced communication and efficiency


“As a result,” Lalonde concluded, “we expect to improve our efficiency and productivity. We’ll have better oversight of project timelines and more efficient use of company resources. And that will help us deliver a richer customer experience while enhancing work satisfaction and profitability.”
