PARAGON has been widely accepted as a standard tool in construction project management and the only solution that provides the owner’s perspective of program management. Students emerging from universities are faced with a different set of challenges than in the past. Understanding project funding, use of funds, and document flow can be as important to the success of a project as good design and quality materials.

“VIANOVUS is committed to education,” said Michael Ciocia, President and CEO of VIANOVUS. “We hope to serve the schools by giving them the best teaching tools available while helping the construction industry by better preparing its newest members.”

VIANOVUS also sponsors the “New Way” Education Grant Program that provides contributions to schools using PARAGON in new construction and modernization projects.

PARAGON, now in version 6, is a proven and widely deployed product for construction owners and managers throughout the world. PARAGON users include: Department of Veteran Affairs, CalFed Bay Delta Program, Bechtel, Salt Lake City Olympic Committee, Fremont Unified School District, West Contra Costa County Unified School District, City College of San Francisco, Bay Area Toll Authority, and San Francisco Airport. VIANOVUS’ customers currently manage over 1500 projects and programs with a combined program value of over $85 billion.
