Comprehensive Project Management Solutions Based on Different Roles
Based on distinct user roles, PowerPlan builds a project management informatization platform for enterprises from the dual perspectives of project owners and project contractors, enabling full-lifecycle project control.
Challenges
- Planning management platforms adopted by various project stakeholders are difficult to unify, making it impossible to achieve "synergy" based on a single-source plan.
- How to accurately and uniformly assess and calculate the overall completion rate of project progress.
- Multi-level project plans become a mere formality; plans at different levels fail to interconnect, resulting in a prominent "disconnection" phenomenon.
- It is difficult to unify the weightings and inspection criteria for project progress, which makes it impossible to accurately and timely track progress, forecast and coordinate future work.
- The workload of plan data exchange among multiple project parties is substantial, leading to low work efficiency and difficulty in ensuring data consistency.
- How to realize the standardization, centralization and visualization of multi-project planning management at the enterprise level.
Project Owners / Construction Entities
- Dynamic control and timely traceability of planning interfaces among various project parties are difficult to achieve, resulting in heavy coordination workload.
- How to realize the interconnection and interoperation between the project planning management system and business management systems, so as to achieve the integration of planning and business operations as well as the integration of planning and cost management.
PMC / Supervision Entities
- How to establish progress inspection criteria recognized by all project stakeholders?
- How to evaluate the implementation performance of project plans at all levels, conduct dynamic deviation correction, and make science-based decisions?
Design Institutes / EPC General Contractors
- How to achieve the interconnection and interoperation between project planning management and enterprise business & management systems?
- How to realize the integration of planning and business operations (covering design, procurement, construction and commissioning services), as well as the integration of planning and cost management?
Solutions
Investment Groups, Project Owners, Design Institutes/Engineering Companies, and General Construction Contractors—in particular, Investment Groups, Project Owners, and Design Institutes/Engineering Companies—can establish a unified project planning and control platform. Corresponding permissions are assigned based on each party’s roles and responsibilities, and full-lifecycle control over project plans is implemented in accordance with multi-level planning frameworks, standardized inspection criteria, and formal approval workflows. This ensures that project plans and progress are always kept under strict control.
At the enterprise level, all organizations face the challenge of internal multi-project management. They can export project-level planning data to their respective enterprise-level planning and control platforms, where the data can be centralized for management, monitoring, statistical analysis, and reporting purposes.
Investment Groups
It meets the requirements of group companies at the level of comprehensive management of infrastructure business, and achieves intensive and standardized management of multiple projects. By means of IT tools including data collection, multi-dimensional analysis, early warning of key indicators, and workflow formalization, it provides IT-enabled support for group companies to oversee the safety, quality, investment, and progress of relevant infrastructure projects. Meanwhile, it further improves the management efficiency of group infrastructure projects and standardizes business management processes.

Project Owners
Engineering project owners, as construction market buyers, play a leading role in achieving project objectives and serve as accountable entities for projects. Via contracts with contractors, designers, supervisors, suppliers and other stakeholders, they form a project owner-centric virtual organization of mutual restriction and collaboration. They hold a core position here and oversee schedule, investment, quality and safety objectives throughout construction. The PowerPlan Platform helps owners enhance cross-party communication and collaboration, as well as conducting full lifecycle project management.

Design Institutes / Engineering Companies
Design institutes and engineering companies should partner with top industry software vendors to establish IT strategic partnerships, define IT strategies and resource plans, clarify integration system architecture and goals, and build safeguards to ensure project management-centric enterprise system success. Built on Enterprise Project Management (EPM) with project management as the core thread, their systems enable cross-department collaboration; without it, integration fails, nor can full-lifecycle project support be achieved.
