U.S. Department
of Veterans Affairs
 The
Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) has over 30 sites and currently
has over $1 billion in construction projects worldwide. Their
objective was to develop a project management system which would
allow project managers and the central office in Washington
to monitor construction progress on a program and project level
in order to avoid potential claims and track/forecast construction
trends.
ViaNovus consulted with project managers
and senior engineers and then developed and managed the delivery
of a PARAGON custom cost system. Implementation also included
managing project groups to maintain the cost system and improve
program functionality; creating customized field documents
within the cost system; and customizing reports that detailed
financial status of each project and the entire VA construction
program. ViaNovus set up the framework for the future expansion
of project scope to include replacement/integration of other
VA cost systems.
ViaNovus also formulated training curriculum
and trained the engineering staff at several VA construction
sites, including the central office.
