The Port of Houston’s annual Capital Improvements Plan exceeds $300 million annually. Directors are required to prepare an annual plan for review and ratification. The plan provides the details as to how the $300M will be appropriated within the port throughout the year. The Port wanted to automate and streamline the accumulation of the data required to develop the plan as well as enable rapid development of reports back to managers regarding conformance and variances against the plan throughout the year. Without the software those activities required outlay of significant time and energy from already stretched personnel resources.
