Project Information Management Systems (PIMS)

PIMS is an Intranet based information service designed to keep customers, their Project Teams and, where 3rd parties are involved, the end client informed of daily progress on projects being carried out by Elan Networks.

How does PIMS work?
Customers are given a user name and password to enter PIMS from the Elan Networks website. They are then able to view the different tasks to be undertaken along with the progress of each task to date, any notes attached and any documents. Bulletin Board is available on the project in order to pass notes to and from our Project Manager. Depending on access rights, customers can also view Microsoft Office files that have been uploaded to the project. These could be project letters, original quotations, etc., along with photographs, where necessary.

A time saving feature is that customers can ‘tick’ a box to enable e-mail alerts for project changes. Once this is selected, the customer will automatically get an e-mail every night where a task on the project has changed status, (e.g. cabling 1st floor has increased from 10% to 20% complete).

A 3rd Party can (if requested) also have limited access so that they can view the progress of all the tasks, without access to ‘sensitive or commercial’ information.

Why do I need PIMS?
By using the e-mail alert facility the user/client is continually kept informed of project progress, without any manual intervention, and is never faced with having to say “I don’t know” when asked about the current status of a project. As a result, a client’s Project Team is able to manage projects in a more prompt, effective and time saving manner. Furthermore, decision makers and salespersons (for example) who would not necessarily want to monitor the project all the way through can, at any time, see how a particular project is progressing.

How much does PIMS cost?
For projects with a value in excess of £10,000 PIMS is used by our Project Team and offered to our customers FREE OF CHARGE.
