Supertech’s Two Microsoft Excel Project Controls Add-In Applications:

EVEngine Standard, this is the  entry level Earned Value project performance reporting system designed for those organizations wishing to trial and evaluate the benefits and power that can be gained from the introduction of an Earned Value based project control and reporting system. Standard Features include

EVEngine Project Control, this is the heavy duty feature rich professional cost and project management control system developed for the Project Controls Specialist, Cost Engineer and Project Manager engaged in tracking and reporting project performance in an Engineering, Procurement, Contract and Construction Management (EPC & EPCM) environment. The Project Control functionality builds on Standard and includes in-depth Project, and Enterprise/Program Portfolio reporting to best industry practice, guidelines and standards.  The Project Controls application supports small to large to mega projects, simple to complex, to provide a single point integrated schedule, productivity and financial reporting system.

EVEngine Project Control features are designed to cover most computational requirements with respect to project administration, cost control, cost engineering, key commodity productivity analysis, financial management and modelling. Project Control Features include

The EVEngine applications release project staff from the tedium of data preparation and manipulation to utilize their time more effectively to undertake performance analysis, problem solving and developing strategies to maintain the project on-time and within budget.  No more confused messages masking real project progress and performance just one single point of truth.

 

Benefits of Working in a Microsoft Excel Environment

EVEngine Standard and Project Control  are Microsoft Excel Dot Net Add-In applications with their formulae hard wired that includes data validation to  give confidence that the performance reporting algorithms, and formulae remain unbroken, and remain compliant with International governance guidelines and standards. 

The  applications allows the user to work in a familiar environment with abilities to use Excel's features to examine and annotate generated graphs and tabular reports. These reports appear as named workbook sheets with the data in defined fixed field formats that can be read by a Business Intelligence (BI) Tool for further analysis and to build project/program specific Dash Boards. 

EVEngine allows you to easily change the input data to simulate what-if scenarios, all without needing to learn a new tool. Being Excel based means that there are no expensive server or databases to install or maintain.

EVEngine has flexibility to import all  necessary scheduling and resource allocations from planning software such Microsoft Project, Oracle P6 and Asta Power Project, or to import  the required data from combination of sources such as scheduling data from the described panning software, resource allocations for units of Cost, Work and Material from an Estimating System, Job Cost Accounting System or directly posted into the EVEngine Project Workbook.
