Success Stories

Harris County Infrastructure Department

Project

As one of the fastest-growing counties in the U.S., Harris County’s infrastructure department (PID) faced the challenge of efficiently managing its large-scale capital projects. With a multitude of construction and engineering projects in motion, the county needed a robust, integrated solution to manage everything from planning to maintenance. ATSER’s Manage-IT™ Program Management System provided the answer.

The Challenge

Harris County’s Infrastructure Department was tasked with overseeing a vast portfolio of capital projects, including everything from roads and bridges to other critical infrastructure. To handle the complexity of these projects, the county needed a comprehensive solution that could centralize project data, streamline workflows, and integrate with existing systems like the Harris County IFAS database.

Solution

Harris County selected ATSER’s Manage-IT™ web-based software to provide integrated Project Information Management Control and Program Management (PM) solution for the Harris County Infrastructure Department (PID). Manage-IT™ provides a systematic approach for collecting, calculating, reporting, tracking and managing reports. Harris County, since late 2004, has relied on ATSER for their program management software solution system.

The Manage-IT™ “Program Management System” uses an Oracle open architecture database for recording, calculating and reporting of Engineering and Construction Project information. Information from this database is used to generate detailed reports.

This data can be combined with the existing Harris County IFAS database system to provide even more comprehensive reports. Manage-IT™ provides a web-based solution for managing all aspects of a capital project through the planning, design, construction, operations and maintenance phases of work.

Project information is made accessible through several methods including an advanced search engine, global and segregated pull-down menus, and through an easy-to-use Geographical Information System (GIS) interface. Once an agreement or contract is selected, the user can enter, recall and report on almost every aspect of an engineering or construction project. Other system capabilities include the importation of field data through Mobile Devices, Smartphones, Tablet PCs or any other web-capable device, support of pay estimates and the ability to generate and track Change Orders by contract.

ATSER® is providing customization per Harris County requirements and systems integration support to configure business logic and workflow requirements. The web-based technology includes internet security controlled by individual login/passwords that define roles, responsibilities, viewing, editing and access rights.
