Parsons Brinckerhoff

One of the world’s oldest and largest planning, engineering and construction management organizations.Parsons Brinckerhoff, is one of the world’s oldest and largest planning, engineering and construction management organizations. The company helps shape some of the world’s largest and most important public works projects, from Boston’s Central Artery/Tunnel to Britain’s rail system Network Rail; from the Sabiya power plant in Kuwait to Cairo’s Metro and the Deep Tunnel Sewerage System in Singapore.

Parsons Brinckerhoff (PB) chose Primavera Expedition and Enterprise scheduling software applications to improve and increase the productivity of their project members and several sub-contractors for the Connecticut Department of Transportation I-95 project. Like many organizations today, their corporate IT staff was heavily burdened with supporting existing back office and legacy applications. As a result, PB sought out LoadSpring Solutions to provide a world class infrastructure and the level of support that would ensure a successful deployment of the applications.

PB chose LoadSpring’s SpringBoard Control Console™ to serve as their remote software access solution because it enabled them to outsource a set of business critical software applications without compromising their internal IT focus on mission critical software deployments.

LoadSpring was able to deliver PB’s solution within a week, a full two months ahead of internal expectations. This rapid implementation had a direct impact on PB’s bottom line; internal IT could focus on tasks that were more essential to the daily business and LoadSpring managed and supported the new IT infrastructure. With help from LoadSpring, PB was able to provide a self-managing system to its remote field units across the state of Connecticut, at a fraction of what it would cost to execute in-house.

The SpringBoard Control Console became the platform of choice for the I-95 project which enabled Parsons Brinckerhoff to:

• Increase profits by reducing the cost of managing remote software deployment systems
• Streamline the management process by focusing IT personnel on mission critical tasks while outsourcing business critical tasks
• Decrease the time and resources required to manage and deliver necessary project software to local business partners

“For the I-95 project, the SpringBoard Control Console not only saved Parsons Brinckerhoff weeks getting its project management applications up and running on the Internet, but it also gave PB the ability to seamlessly share project applications with business partners including the Connecticut Department of Transportation. “
