EcoSys announced Tuesday that it will provide cost management software for Constellation Energy Nuclear Group's five reactors at the Calvert Cliffs, Ginna and Nine Mile Point nuclear plants.
The utility, which is in the advanced stages of a merger with Exelon, will use EcoSys' Enterprise Planning and Controls for project cost management and project controls reporting. The system uses Web-based spreadsheets, built-in dashboards and automated reports to help managers gauge program performance. According to an EcoSys release, Constellation will use the software for capital projects as well as operations and maintenance. Its functionality includes forecasting, purchase order management, earned value management and a range of other tools.
Constellation will use it in tandem with its existing software, which includes Oracle's Primavera P6 and E-Business Suite.
"After an extensive search, we found that no other cost management tool met our needs like EcoSys EPC," CENG project controls manager Kurt Voytell said in the release. "We're getting a mature and sophisticated project controls platform, yet the software is very easy to use and tailors to match our processes and terminology."
