e-Builder provides a web-based, fully integrated capital program and project management software suite for organizations managing facility planning, construction, and operations. North America’s leading facility owners use e-Builder to improve project execution, resulting in increased productivity and quality, reduced cost, and faster project delivery. The system is modular in nature and can be deployed in phases. The primary modules include: Cost, Schedule, Business Process, Document Management, Reports, and Dashboards.
An example of the business value of the e-Builder Enterprise solution is at Memorial Hermann, one of the largest healthcare systems in Houston with 11 hospitals, numerous specialty and outpatient centers, and 19,000 employees serving over 1 million patients each year. Memorial Hermann is currently executing a $500 million capital program. The size and complexity of this construction effort created a lack of project cost visibility which resulted in project cost overruns. In addition, complex approval processes (e.g., vendor payment approval) affected productivity and contributed to the cost overruns (e.g., late fee payments). As a result of using e-Builder, the potential for cost overruns is greatly reduced. In addition, the use of e-Builder to automate certain construction processes has improved productivity and reduced project costs. For example, the vendor payment approval process has been reduced from 2 weeks to 2 days on average, which has improved vendor relations and eliminated late fees.
As a result of these measurable business benefits, E-Builder Enterprise has been named a BoSS Award winner. | |
