VIEWPOINT.com | +1 800.333.3197 Warne. "We needed to find a way to improve business efficiency and skill utilisation, so the search began for a solution that would provide a single repository point for job data." Proven Expertise in Construction To maintain its leading position and gain a competitive edge, DMG chose Jobpac by Viewpoint construction software, following an exhaustive evaluation process. The DMG project team, led by Warne, set about evaluating suitable solutions on the market. "We used a 'common choice' theme right from the start of the evaluation process and spent a lot of time finding out what individuals within DMG had used over their careers, as well as what was being used by the construction and engineering industry," she explains. "During our discussions, Jobpac was repeatedly mentioned. Following closer investigation, we came to the full realisation that the Jobpac Business Forecasting solution was ideally suited to our specific needs, making it our number one choice. " Warne adds, "Compared to other products, the Jobpac solution stood out as it required no significant customisation, which would have inevitably added to our final project costs. Additionally, we recognised that future product development would most likely be required. With Jobpac's proven expertise in delivering solutions to our industry, combined with its track record in developing customised components for existing customers, we felt confident in our selection decision." Implementing for Elimination The Viewpoint and DMG project teams collaborated closely over a six-month implementation period leading up to go-live date. "The two companies worked hard to create a detailed requirements document, which included a gap analysis," says Warne. "And by involving employees across the company throughout the project, we ensured grass roots engagement, thereby maximising the integrity of the system. This resulted in a very successful adoption of the system." The successful implementation combined with a fluid adoption of the Jobpac solution resulted in the delivery of instant visible benefits for DMG. "Of crucial importance has been the dramatic reduction in duplication," says Warne. "For instance, within stores control, we need to manage multiple sites and equipment allocation on a daily basis. We can now identify issues within a job early due to the transparency of data; this has led to improved risk management, as well as a higher level of accountability and greater ownership of projects. – Sally Warne, Business Process and Administration Manager, De Martin & Gasparini
