PLM Integrated Project Management.
Engineering projects don’t run on schedules alone. The work behind every milestone involves people, deliverables, reviews, changes and product information. IPMS brings project planning and engineering execution together, so teams can manage the project in the context of the work.

The engineering project management gap
A Project Can Look On Track While the Work Behind It Is Not.
Engineering progress depends on more than tasks and dates. It depends on the work, decisions and deliverables behind them.

What changes for the project team
Less Time Reconciling. More Time Managing the Work.
Connect project and engineering information to spend less time collecting updates and more time managing what matters.
Clearer Project Visibility
See progress, deliverables, dependencies and actions in one place.
Earlier Issue Visibility
Spot delays, dependencies and incomplete work sooner.
Less Manual Reporting
Use project data for status and management reporting.
Better Team Accountability
Keep tasks, actions, deliverables and owners visible.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. IPMS is flexible and can be configured to fit your existing data model, processes and project structure.
IPMS comes with most of the core configuration already built. We configure it around your requirements, complete UAT and prepare the solution for go-live. A typical implementation can be completed in around two months, depending on the scope and customer requirements.
You don’t have to start from scratch. IPMS brings together capabilities and configurations we’ve already developed through our experience with engineering project management. Your team can build on that foundation and focus on what is specific to your business.
