From the PMI (Project Management Institute) point of view, Cost Management is one of the three key points for the Triple Constraint, along with Scope and Time. Thusgiving cost control a key importance in the whole process Getting to this point, we need to make a decision about which cost-control solution to select, among those existing in the market. Which questions may we raise in order to select the best software - and therefore ease our company's benefits to increase? Let me point down some : • What are the goals and objectives of our project? • Which are the target industries and markets of our company? • Do we want to integrate our Accounting in such software? • How long wil l implementation take and what does staff training look like?
Answer yourself the above to be closer to get the software that better suits your needs. Cost-controlling software is intended to give great added value to your work from the first day. But remember: do not make a quick decision on this. Your projects will relay on it, and your company relays on your projects. José Llorca - Senior Construction Consultant at VARO Consulting 2
