New suite from Aurigo

NEW YORK: Aurigo, a provider of project management software and services for capital project owners and general contractors, released its latest capital project management suite, Aurigo Masterworks. With this release, Aurigo claims it significantly enhances collaboration and ease of use, so that everyone on a construction project team has an intuitive experience optimized for their role and the ability to access the solution from anywhere.

Aurigo Masterworks, a Capital Project Management Solution (CPMS) delivered through the cloud, is designed to make it easy for people working on complex projects to perform at their best and complete projects faster, the company tells.

Balaji Sreenivasan, CEO and Founder of Aurigo Software Technologies, said, "Aurigo has evolved over the last few years to become a leading CPMS product company, providing a comprehensive solution that automates the whole nine yards of a construction project lifecycle for owners, CM firms and general contractors. Our products are now available both on-premise and cloud environments with easy integration to ERP platforms such as SAP, Microsoft Dynamics AX and Oracle. It also has connectors with scheduling applications such as Microsoft Project Server and Primavera."

In addition to ease of use, the solution provides end-to-end capability, including automation of processes like project cost estimation, electronic bidding (tendering), contract management, facilities management, asset management, real estate operations, and field inspections. 

Justin Newton, Director-Project Management Fluor, stated "The Oregon Bridge Delivery Partners (OBDP) has been using the Aurigo capital project management application since 2007 to automate our process and other business process in support of the Oregon Department of Transportation's (ODOT) $2.5 billion OTIA III State Bridge Delivery Program. One of the principal goals of the program was to implement new and efficient delivery practices and systems. To validate the benefits of our systems, we contacted a professional economist to study nine automated systems over the past six months. I am pleased to say that the Aurigo application has generated very favorable return on investment for the program and the State. Based on this success, we are already evaluating the enhanced forms and workflow processing capabilities available in Aurigo's latest release."
