Challenge:

CNC Project Management required a unified system to manage their wide range of activities and associations between landholders and stakeholders in the energy and infrastructure sectors. Having numerous offices and project teams around Australia made it challenging to keep comprehensive records up to date.

Solutions:

CNC, in close conjunction with Mipela GeoSolutions, configured and launched X-Info Connect, X-Info Connect PriceFinder and X-Info Maps as the baseline tool for their landholder and stakeholder liaison.

Result:

Records can now be quickly entered into a live system and seamlessly viewed by field teams, office administrators, project managers and, more importantly, CNC clients. On demand access to progress overviews, reports, maps and detailed records is fundamental for dynamic project control.

CNC Project Management

The right software for the right consultants

CNC Project Management (CNC) and Mipela GeoSolutions have long been crossing paths within the energy and infrastructure sector.

CNC help clients in the infrastructure, energy and resources sectors to obtain the necessary permits and approvals for their projects as well as assisting them to secure land access and a social licence to operate.

CNC’s core activities are in the environment, community relations, land access, indigenous relations, planning and permitting fields. Services include: alignment selection, GIS mapping, environmental management, permitting, stakeholder engagement, land access and post-construction site rehabilitation.

CNC has a wide reach with offices in Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth, and teams on the ground in projects around Australia.

CNC have now added another tool to their already impressive arsenal … the X-Info Suite! In October 2012 CNC, in close conjunction with Mipela GeoSolutions, configured and launched X-Info Connect, X-Info Connect PriceFinder and X-Info Maps as the baseline tool for their landholder and stakeholder liaison.

The X-Info Suite now means that records can now be quickly entered into a live system and seamlessly viewed by field teams, office administrators, project managers and, more importantly, CNC clients. On demand access to progress overviews, reports, maps and detailed records will be fundamental for dynamic project control.

Dave Maloney, CNC Managing Director, believes the key benefit to his clients will be the ability for complete progress overviews in easy to comprehend formats at a moment’s notice.

“It also allows our team, no matter where they are, to instantaneously get an accurate history of interactions with a stakeholder,” Mr Maloney said.

“It is vital for us to have full and comprehensive records of interactions and Mipela X-Info Connect helps us improve the way we manage these records. The fact that it allows easy sharing of information between the office and the field is an important benefit.”

“We went through a rigorous evaluation process of all the systems that were in the market and Mipela’s won hands down. Being able to integrate stakeholder and spatial data makes Mipela’s systems a one of a kind in our industry.

“An additional bonus is that many of our clients already use Mipela’s products, so our team is now ready and able to use clients’ Mipela installations when working on clients’ projects with minimal training.”

Mipela GeoSolutions are very excited to be a part of implementing and supporting their solutions for CNC now and into the future.
