Manila Water Co. Inc. said it signed partnership agreements with two technology giants in the development and implementation of a comprehensive project management system to efficiently carry out its obligations to consumers.
Manila Water said Tech Mahindra and Oracle would provide solutions for the water concessionaire’s Enterprise Portfolio and Project Management System, a powerful tool which integrates all processes related to portfolio and project management.
“Through the EPPMS, the enterprise will now have a reliable ‘single source of truth’ for capes information, enabling the much-improved governance through centralized and integrated monitoring and control of project implementation,” Manila Water group director for corporate project management of Manila Water Maidy Lynne Quinto said in a statement.
The system also allows the real-time monitoring of project performance and resources by the entire project team all throughout the project’s timeline.
Tech Mahindra will design and eventually oversee the implementation of the solutions to be utilized by EPPMS, while Oracle will provide the applications to be used for the system.
Sudhir Dhar, Tech Mahindra vice president for delivery in Asean, said the company was up to the challenge in meeting the solutions needs of Manila Water, its first utility company client in the Philippines.
“As true partners, we have to work together to see how we can realize the expectations for this project,” he said.
Oracle expressed eagerness in working with Manila Water for the innovatory work. “We are confident that through our continued joint effort and commitment, we will be able to achieve the transformation in the way Manila Water manages and delivers its projects,” said Anthony Tse, sales director of Oracle Construction and Engineering Global Business Unit.
