Santa Clara, California – May 17, 2011 – Rowland Water District working with Westin Engineering, Inc. of Rancho Cordova, CA has selected CIPPlanner’s Capital Program Management software to manage the complete life cycle of its capital programs and projects.

With a highly experienced and talented capital program management team, Rowland Water District has developed a solid capital project management practice through years of hands-on experience.  While the practice has served the district well, it is primarily manual driven. As part of an overall IT improvement strategy spearheaded by Westin Engineering, Rowland Water District decides to deploy CIPAce™ to bring its capital program management practice to the next level.    

By embedding its field-proven best practices into the highly configurable CIPAce™ enterprise platform, Rowland Water District will get unprecedented level of control, automation and visibility into every step of its capital management process.  CIPAce™ will seamlessly unite the management efforts and expertise from engineering, project management and finance under an industry-leading enterprise management framework.  Business data and intelligence will seamlessly flow through the complete infrastructure management life cycle from project feasibility study, financing, engineering, bid, construction, closeout to maintenance.  Cost estimate, cash flow projection, funding source tracking, schedules, resources, vendor and vendor compliance, bids, contracts, purchase orders, invoices and documents will all be managed under a central database.  Empowered by CIPAce™ highly configurable workflow engine, District staff and vendors will be able to collaborate efficiently to establish a highly productive eco-system to develop a world class infrastructure for the District.
