Veolia (formerly GE Power & Water) uses the CIPAce™ platform as its capital planning and project management system. The system manages capital projects from ideation and planning through execution, financial tracking, and closeout. ### How does Veolia plan across multiple capital scenarios? Veolia plans its capital portfolio across multiple scenarios, including the Strategic Investment Initiative (SII), the Operating Plan (OP), and a Wish List. Projects are copied across cycles and scenarios, with SII and OP snapshots by year, so they carry forward from one planning cycle to the next without rework. ### How does Veolia reconcile actual spend against its capital plan? Imported actual expenses are reconciled with plans, with red, yellow, and green indicators. For every project, Veolia compares forecast, current estimate, approved, and actual spend. ### How are Veolia capital projects reviewed and approved? Project reviews route through a role-based, multi-step approval matrix with notifications. The approval workflow includes workflow logs, alerts, and project locking, and every project and financial change is recorded with user and timestamp. ### How does Veolia update many capital projects at once? Batch operations let Veolia run batch update, batch ranking, and batch scoping across the portfolio. Leader fields also update across all scenarios, so changes stay consistent from one planning cycle to the next. ### How does Veolia protect confidential capital projects? Confidential projects are hidden from non-associated users, with field-level access control. Eight defined user roles each work in the system with access matched to their role and project association. ### What reports does Veolia use for capital investment decisions? Veolia uses 10 standard reports, from Investment Council to Business Summary. The standard reports cover investment council, multi-year, P&L, and carryover views. ### How was the Veolia system implemented? The system was implemented in three phases from 2012 through 2015. The initial implementation, from 2012 through 2014, delivered project, portfolio, financial, and scenario management with a workflow engine. Phase II and Phase III, from 2014 through 2015, added the workflow approval matrix, dashboard enhancements, batch update, document management, and improved notifications.
