Collaborative Solutions

Energy Sector

the benefits are tangibleOur clients come back time and time again because our solution works; it delivers real cost and time benefits, giving you full visibility of your project and portfolio, including the ability to delegate management control.4Projects work with many organisations that utilise some form of ‘Stage Gate Process’ to streamline the decision-making process. 4Projects Workflow Manager can map these processes in a number of ways allowing reviews to be handled without the need for inefficient data collection, consolidation and review.The 4Projects system ensures everyone has access in ‘real time’ and facilitates confidence in project leadership. Integrating seamlessly with financial, planning, instrumentation and control systems, each member of the leadership team is able to make fully informed decisions. This keeps the focus on ‘outcome decisions’ rather than ‘process decisions’ through consolidation of information and the use of formalised decision making processes.It is also simple to deploy and easy to use with no costly IT infrastructure; just access to the web.
