Integrated project controls for capital projects

DigitalPXO provides integrated project controls services and implements the platforms behind them, for organizations delivering complex capital projects and capital-intensive programs.

We focus on construction and engineering, working alongside IT organizations to implement the right systems — with our own team and solution partners worldwide, and an emphasis on adoption, efficiency and enablement.

Our work includes the Federal Highway Administration, JEA and Tri-State Generation and Transmission.

Core focus areas

What we actually do

Cost and schedule management

Establish planned estimates and schedules, approve capital plans and execution baselines, and monitor work performance against cost and schedule progress — including percentage-of-completion forecasting and variance analysis.

Resource management

Assign resources to cost loaded schedules, with auditable work approval chains and resource conflict management — improving equipment and resource utilization while reducing execution risk and unforeseen material waste.

Change control

Stage gate approval processes for procurement oversight and budget change approvals.

Capital financial analysis

Earned value on work performed, with schedule activity to CBS mapping, cost sheet analysis and cash flow curve analysis.

Systems integration

Integration built on Oracle Integration Cloud or Oracle's Project Integration Framework (PIF), connecting Primavera, Aconex and Oracle Fusion ERP so your teams get the benefit of automation rather than another system to reconcile.

How we size the work

The equation we apply to your projects, applied to ours

Project controls work is usually sold as a program. For most organizations that's more system, more cost and more time than the problem actually needs. We scope an engagement the way we'd scope a project — against a cost, schedule and scope that you set.

If you've been quoted a program considerably larger than the problem you came in with, that's worth a second opinion before you commit budget you'll have to defend.

Cost

Priced against the outcome you need rather than a platform rollout. Where a fixed-scope piece of work solves it, that's what we'd rather sell you.

Schedule

Weeks to something usable, not quarters. Each stage leaves you with controls you can actually run, rather than a milestone on our plan.

Scope

Configured for what you control today. Adding later is straightforward; unwinding a system where three quarters of it went unused is not.

Other consulting services

Alongside the Primavera work we consult on Microsoft Dynamics ERP — Dynamics 365 and Business Central — and on getting project and finance data into reporting people actually use.
