BRISBANE April 19th 2005 – Union Switch & Signal Pty Ltd (US&S), a world
leader in the design of railway signaling, automation and control equipment,
has awarded Primavera the contract to implement a comprehensive project
management system.
With specific focus on planning, execution and control, the Primavera solution will help secure greater
visibility and accountability for project performance throughout US&S.
Primavera won the contract on the basis of its long tradition of ensuring it
understood
customers’ business needs and could therefore tailor a flexible, low risk and
cost-effective solution.
Primavera’s global presence, closely aligned with a national network of
industry experienced
consultants across Australia , gave US&S the confidence needed to make
the right choice.
Graham Russell, General Manager, said the partnership with Primavera
provided US&S with the confidence that it would have the tools and processes
in place to pursue the targets it had set itself for the next few years.
"US&S believes that professionalism, quality, prompt delivery, friendliness
and responsiveness are essential in all business practices. Ensuring we have
effective project and program management tools in place is a vital part of that
process.
Primavera Australia provided us with the ‘one-stop solution’ we were looking
for. We expect to leverage more effective resource coordination, better
collaboration and a more standardised approach to project execution."
Steve Keys, Director, Primavera Australia, said the contract between Primavera
Australia and US&S was a demonstration of how Primavera can be easily adapted
to a wide variety of different working environments, and across multiple
locations.
"Primavera is viewed by customers and analysts alike as leading the field
in the provision of truly effective project portfolio management solutions
across a wide variety of vertical sectors.
We look forward to working with US&S to delivering fast and effective ROI"
