Since the company’s projects can be located anywhere in the world, IMTC-MEI chose to utilize a third party hosting service for their Prolog software. Project 3 Technologies recommended ProjectXnet hosting from The Cram Group, a Meridian authorized System Integrator (SI). ProjectXnet provides secure, Web-based access to Prolog from any Internet connection. “No matter where our people are, as long as they have Internet access, they can get to our Prolog data,” Thomas says. “ProjectXnet backs up our data every hour and The Cram Group offers spectacular 24/7 support.” With the Project 3 Technologies and The Cram Group teams handling IMTC-MEI’s Prolog implementation, the process moved forward quickly. “It amazes me how fast we were able to implement a fairly complex system like Prolog because of the knowledge and experience of our implementation teams,” Thomas states. “We were online within 72 hours. Two weeks later, myself and three or four other users were comfortable enough to function within the software. Five months later, we were running a $48M project.” Shane Thomas, Senior Project Services Manager IMTC-MEI

The Cram Group provided their ProjectXnet Hosting Services to Improve Cost Management and Collaborative Workflow for Bright Horizons Family Solutions. After one weekend of implementation and a short time period for the necessary testing and training, Bright Horizons has seen an improvement in information sharing, cost management, and the approval processes required by the organization. ProjectXnet also helps with Bright Horizons' construction and facilities cost tracking and projections. Now the company gets projections in real time and do better budget reporting now. “I can't under estimate the time savings ProjectXnet has given us.”  Carole Meehan, Construction Department Manager of Controls and Procedures. Bright Horizons Family Solutions

"ProjectXnet is much more than a high performance hosting environment. It is backed up with first class support via phone and online forums. When a problem is encountered, they always find a solution. This enables me to administer a robust, web-based project management system for more than 600 users with a one person department. I can focus on developing new processes and educating the users on our core competencies." Rich Cummins, Hensel Phelps Construction Co.

The Cram Group provides Prolog Training and Implementation to NSLIJ, New York City's 7th Largest Employer. "The Cram Group gave us exactly what we needed: a firm that could understand our Project Management philosophy and deliver quick technical solutions. The Cram Group's consultants allowed our Facilities Management Department to finalize the transfer of budget data for about 300 projects into Prolog Manager. Once our migration was complete, we utilized their expertise to produce our first ever real-time Monthly Status Report of project conditions and financial projections to senior executives." Bernard Dubin, VP Project Management

When I joined Shapiro & Duncan, Inc. seven years ago, the company had been utilizing Prolog about four years with minimal assistance from Meridian. In order to better understand this program, we project coordinators took several courses and joined meetings with outside groups who utilized Prolog. It was in one of these group meetings where we heard of The Cram Group. We contacted The Cram Group who sent a team of experts to review our program. During our initial meeting with them, they made us realized that no one in our construction department was using Prolog to its full potential. So in 2003, The Cram Group team completely overhauled and customized the program to our specifications. It took about six months of hard work for The Cram Group to revamp the program and train us project coordinators so that we could in turn train the rest of the construction department personnel. For the past five years, armed with the knowledge The Cram Group has given us, we have maintained a highly efficient product and construction team. Through their website we are kept well informed of any changes or updates. We are confident in the fact that should there be any problems or questions regarding our custom program, The Cram Group is only a phone call, email or personal visit away.

Torcon required additional flexibility to control our project management application, Prolog in a hosted environment. Therefore, approximately 3 years ago, Torcon selected to migrate to The Cram Group‘s ProjectXnet solution. The Cram Group‘s very talented staff have helped us customize the look, feel and functionally of the ProjectXnet portal. This customization allowed our employees to have better access to our systems, new functionally with features such as Global Reporter and Self Support (A direct link to TCG‘s support staff) and it has provided access to Torcon‘s on-line Manuals. With this new portal solution we can also allow our customers to view many of the same features that our employees use along with an increased visibility to Torcon‘s branding that was not previously available. Torcon needed to leverage the power of Prolog into many of our daily activities such as RFI‘s, Daily Work Journals and Punch List Items. The Cram Group was instrumental in helping us test and implement a new mobile solution that expands the use of Prolog out into the field. The Cram Group has also supported Torcon in the testing of a new document repository system. This system will allow the linking of documents directly to a Prolog Manager record and will increasing the communication and efficiency of our personnel. The Cram Group has helped Torcon‘s Prolog solution keep pace with or stay ahead of our competitors while maintaining a very fair market value for their services Richard Zavali, Engineering Applications Manager Torcon, Inc.
