RIB:  EPS have successfully led the work to specify, test and document the interface and integration requirements between RIB and industry standard planning systems.  Customers can now enjoy seamless and error free automation of the touch points between their project management systems and estimating with RIB.  Steve Brunning, the Managing Director of RIB (UK) commented, “It is a pleasure to partner with EPS. They are recognised industry specialists in the project controls systems arena.  Their consultants are clearly veterans with a blend of knowledge of both the relevant industries, business processes and the software tools which means customers benefit from a practical real world interface that avoids being developed in a vacuum…….it does what it says on the tin!  RIB will be using EPS to help evolve future releases of the interface to planning systems”.

 
Projected Consulting: In 2009 EPS partnered with Projected Consulting to offer a comprehensive suite of implementation and consulting services focused on those customers who have chosen Oracle as their strategic ERP platform with Primavera as the project management system.  Combined, they provide an unmatched depth of practical knowledge and experience in Oracle Projects, Oracle Analytics and how Primavera project management integrates and co-exists efficiently within an ERP implementation.  The combination of the services were the result of practical experiences where customers ended up with “clunky and inefficient interfaces between Primavera and back office applications with the resultant panic at month end to provide effective management reporting.  Careful consideration needs to be given to the design and build of such integrations and the partnership between EPS and Projected provides the skills borne out of years of experience delivering work of this nature to avoid the pitfalls and create efficient, productive systems.
 
Andy Butchart, the Sales Director for Projected Consulting, commented:  “Both companies have been discussing the synergies of working closely together for the past two years. As our companies have grown, this has now turned into reality for us and affords us the critical mass to make a real difference in our service to clients, in terms of our competiveness, our breadth of offering and ownership of the “whole” system space. It is a fantastic opportunity for both our companies”.

Project InVision: EPS teamed with Project InVision International in 2008 to form a strategic alliance to deliver world leading project management information systems. This will provide customers with on demand information solutions to automate repeatable project delivery processes, increase efficiency, improve management visibility and better utilise resources.  By combining the programme management expertise of EPS with the on demand capabilities of the Project InVision software platform, the alliance will accelerate the availability of on demand Project Management Office solutions to the UK marketplace.
 
The Project InVision SaaS-based solution consistently achieves the industry’s fastest deployment times, enabling customers to focus on their strategic initiatives rather than labouring over the implementation of their project management system. Affordable subscription pricing breaks down the barriers associated with enterprise software deployments offering immediate availability to save companies hundreds of thousands of dollars in licensing and start-up costs.
 
The Managing Director of Project InVision International, Matt Meblin, commented:  “For Project InVision International, the alliance represents a continued commitment to provide worldwide support and channel opportunities for its on demand platform. PII partners with world-class solution providers, like EPS, to implement its software and provide support and training to its global clientele. Project InVision and EPS Consulting have each delivered successful solutions in their own markets. By combining our unique strengths, we will accelerate the business performance of our joint customers offering and immediate return on investment. Together, we can make a real difference for our clients”.
