ViaNovus® Launches Alliance Partner Program
Partnership Program Enables Construction Management Firms and Consultants to Offer Clients Integrated Program Management Software Systems and Solutions

Oakland, CA - ViaNovus, a leading provider of Web-based program management solutions for the construction industry, today announced the launch of its Alliance Partner Program. The new program, which couples construction management firms and consultants with ViaNovus program management system experts, is designed to provide construction owners with fully integrated program management software systems and solutions. Using the ViaNovus core product, PARAGON Program Management System™, as the technology platform, the Alliance Partner Program will enable members to enhance the project controls and oversight consulting services they offer to clients who are owners of large-scale capital projects.

To date, 11 companies have joined the Alliance Partner Program as charter members, including San Diego-based Urban Innovations, LLC. A construction management firm that is currently using PARAGON in a $60 million municipal redevelopment project in San Diego, Urban Innovations opted to join the Alliance Partner Program in order to provide its clients with state-of-the-art technology solutions.

"Since integrating PARAGON into the large-scale capital improvement project our firm is now overseeing in San Diego, we've been able to significantly improve our ability to more efficiently manage the budgetary and reporting components of this project," explained Joseph Kinard, a principal of Urban Innovations. "We've been so impressed with how PARAGON permits all key decision-makers real-time access to critical program information, that we want to incorporate the many benefits of this technology into the package of consulting tools and services we make available to all Urban Innovations clients."

Hosted on the highly reliable, 24/7 ViaNovus network, PARAGON offers construction owners and their representatives the only online tool for obtaining the mission-critical information they need to effectively manage multi-funded capital programs and minimize risk. PARAGON can be integrated into the construction management process quickly and cost-effectively: The Internet-based system eliminates the need for specialized IT infrastructure and staff support, and can be used by any project team member with a Web browser and password.

"As a team, ViaNovus and our Alliance Partners are dedicated to delivering the construction industry a complete consulting and technology solution designed to satisfy the program management needs and expectations of construction owners," said Darrell Garrett, ViaNovus senior vice president and chief architect of PARAGON. "We believe that our sophisticated Web-based program management software, integrated with the proven management methodologies of our Alliance Partners, will present our clients with an unprecedented and highly effective means for managing multi-funded construction programs."
