LSG uses the most progressive and technologically advanced web-based software systems to promote project management and communications management for complex public projects. Web-based project systems support critical tasks within project management, notably project scheduling, project controls and general communication among all the project participants. Project managers often face the following challenges for complex public transportation projects:

• Project teams located in diverse geographies
  
• Numerous communication transactions on a daily basis
  
• Delays in access to important project information
  
• Limited budget for project communication (overnight mail, travel, fax)

LSG has a unique approach to implementing web-based project management systems. Initially, we correlate project needs, procedures and processes with applicable technology to develop a conceptual plan. To encourage regular system usage, we define a system architecture that identifies roles, responsibilities and the system functionality in an easily understood format. In addition, we provide training, change management consulting and continual technical support.

Some important benefits of a web-based project management system are:

• Increased efficiency of team resources and project productivity
  
• Reduced project time to market or time to completion
  
• Lower expenses for paperwork, postage, printing, travel, and telecom
  
• Ensuring accountability from all project participants by creating best practices for project management
