Embracing Digital Transformation
ADCO’s journey towards digital excellence in project planning began with a critical challenge: the need to streamline and upgrade their existing mix of planning tools. The decision to transition to Asta Powerproject and Asta Vision was a pivotal moment, marking ADCO’s entry into a new era of digital planning.
The decision was driven by key factors:
- Progressive innovation
- Industry focus
- Centralised and secure cloud hosting with BI reporting and revision control
- Reliable local software support and training
- 4D Planning
- Strong interoperability
- Customisable and flexible
- Cost-effective licensing
Strategic Implementation for Enhanced Planning
The transition from legacy systems like Microsoft Project and Primavera P6 to Asta Powerproject and Asta Vision was meticulously planned and executed. ADCO’s diverse team, including engineers, planners, and project managers, engaged in comprehensive training sessions facilitated by local Asta reseller Solid Support Pty Ltd.
Key aspects of the transition included a rigorous assessment process by a working group, project-based champions for user support, and a focus on deploying the new platform for new tenders and projects. The transition strategy involved project-based champions, ensuring seamless adaptation without disrupting ongoing projects.
Innovative Features for Future-Ready Planning
ADCO’s transition to Asta Powerproject and Asta Vision notably includes the enhancement of their reporting system. The new setup allows for the automation of monthly reporting, with Asta Vision acting as a central repository for all planning data across programs. This integration facilitates the generation of automatically updated reports, streamlining ADCO’s ability to monitor and manage project progress efficiently.
Alongside this, consistent templates and pre-built task pools streamlined programme development, while upcoming features like Global Libraries promise to standardise processes and enhance data capture across the company.
