This probably can best answered by the sales team who have tools to measure ROI of ProjectWise using industry numbers and algorithms. Just doing a Google of “ProjectWise ROI” results in several articles from companies that have invested in their future with ProjectWise. One article on AECmagazine’s web site states the following from a Michael Baker Corporation;

“Implementing ProjectWise achieved significant bottom-line results for Baker. In addition to saving jobs, improving moral, and delivering better projects, an independent analysis of ProjectWise ROI conducted by SMART LLP revealed a peak ROI for ProjectWise at five times the operating cost. Better still, the payback period for ProjectWise was just six short months, or two times faster than the industry benchmark of 12 months.”

It looks like a ROI between 4x and 19x in less than two years and as fast as six months. Bentley’s public web site has many Case Studies in which many of them also list ROI in the same range. JP

Nice idea in thoery, but you know what they say about thoery. At this time, with the way things are with construction in the UK, we couldn't contemplate doing this. Paying the staff comes first!

We did look at PW 5 or so years ago but it was going to cost us £30K. What additional benifts does PW give us over a well managed thoughtout project structure?

How large and how long?

ProjectWise is an enterprise solution that can have a large return on investment. I know that several smaller companies that have spent the capital on ProjectWise, look back and wonder why they didn’t do it sooner. In today’s economy it is even more important to maximize your team’s efficiency even in a distributed environment. Hope your company sees the light soon.

All very well if the Company you work for has and can afford Projectwise. We can't, and it wont be an option with prices as they are. Unless they have come down substantially in the last few years.
