Project and Resource Management System
Building Research Establishment
www.bre.co.uk
The Building Research Establishment required an application to handle financial
and resource management.
PSE developed a Window client-server solution linked to an Oracle database and
now develop and maintain the software. The application covers database editing,
contractor selection, project management and resourcing. The main aim of the
application was to provide a central database of project information to enable
management to report on project status to its client, the Government and the
Carbon
trust.
Since developing this solution, PSE have developed systems for other areas of
BRE including the building of the company's finance system.
The main requirements included:
- Secure access
- Integration with the finance system to read project costs
- Exports in XML format
- Graphical Gantt chart project management system
- Form-based data entry of project information
- Bespoke management reports
- Contractor search system
