Ian Bell, IT Project Manager,
South West Water
did
you know?
South West Water had the largest
per capita CAPEX programme out of all UK water companies in 2002.
The amount was £111 per head (yr end 31/3/02) which equated
to 63% of total turnover.
Managing a capital
expenditure programme that meets regulatory requirements, supports
environmental protection and still delivers competitively priced,
high quality services to customers can be challenging. Asta helps
utility companies to:
Undertake business
planning of the capital expenditure programme Water companies and many
other utilities have a regulatory requirement to produce
strategic and tactical business plans for the capital
expenditure programme. The timing of projects is a crucial
factor for capital planning. Organisations in the UK
like South West Water use Asta Powerproject to track
time and costs across multiple projects and feed this
data into an asset management system such as MIMS to
produce CAPEX and cash flow reports.
Achieve a centralised overview of all projects Many utility companies are still using
disparate legacy systems to manage their operations. By centralising
all project data in a single system, clear visibility can be achieved
over all projects, costs and milestones across the programme. Data
from within Asta Powerproject can be presented in a clear graphical
format to enable easier analysis and interpretation.
Model the effect
of potential projects
The level of investment required for new capital projects in the
utilities sector is significant. Business planners need to accurately
model potential projects – and assess risks and feasibility
– as part of the budget-setting and approval process. Asta
Powerproject allows you to model different ‘what if’
scenarios to identify the impact on costs, resources and project
end dates. Realistic assessments of the impact that new projects
could have on the capital programme can also be established.
Manage contractors more effectively Collaboration with contractors and construction
consultancies is vital for the successful delivery of large-scale
capital projects. Choose Asta Powerproject, and you will be selecting
the most widely used planning tool* in the construction sector. Sharing
project plans with contractors and receiving status reports is straightforward
with the project collaboration tools packaged with Asta Powerproject. Learn
