    Accuracy of monthly spend forecast has improved from +/- 15% to +/- 4%. This is a huge financial gain for the owner on a program of this size and scale.

    Once a standard template is set up, exporting accounting data and importing it into PRISM saves the cost team two full days of work on large projects. We save 10-15% time during the closeout period.

    Time to perform these tasks has reduced by almost 90% by using ARES PRISM. This has helped me spend more time on in-depth analysis of current project performance, providing controlling measures to ensure that the project performs as planned.

    Better Than Spreadsheets. Faster Than Custom Solutions.

    Megaprojects are too complex for spreadsheets and manual processes. These tools are slow, error-prone and can’t scale to manage the vast scope of cost, schedule and change data involved.

    Lightweight software isn’t enough either. It lacks the depth to support integrated cost and schedule management across large programs. And while highly customizable solutions offer flexibility, they often take years to implement—delaying value and increasing risk.

    To succeed, your teams need project-ready, enterprise-grade tools that are built for complexity and deliver results fast. Contruent Enterprise enables customers to:
