The Corradino Group Standardizes on Prolog Construction Project Management Software

Meridian partner Intuitive Systems to implement the Prolog solution for national leader in aviation, transit, infrastructure design and program management

FOLSOM, Calif. (September 8, 2010) - Meridian Systems, the Plan-Build-Operate technology solutions leader for project-based organizations, announced today that The Corradino Group has selected Prolog® software. Corradino will use the Prolog solution to standardize construction management processes to provide detailed document tracking and an easy way for the company to collaborate. Corradino is working directly with Intuitive Systems, an authorized Meridian Systems Global Reseller serving Florida and Latin America.

Corradino, founded in 1971, has become a national leader in multiple fields of engineering, including aviation, transit, infrastructure design and program management. In 2008, Corradino was awarded the oversight contract for the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) I-595 Express Corridor Improvement project, the state's first Public-Private Partnership (3P) contract. Planning and advanced construction activities for the project began in June 2009, with actual construction expected to continue through June 2014.

To minimize the risk to FDOT and protect the financial investment of all parties, Corradino began searching for a software solution that would support detailed document tracking and provide an easy way for the company to collaborate with FDOT and the design team. Corradino has worked with Intuitive Systems to implement and extend Prolog's document control capabilities and make collaboration easier.

"After monitoring documents for a large project using spreadsheets, Prolog is an amazing tool that allows us to meticulously track documents, responses and actions," said Jeannine Ward, I-595 project administration manager. "Just eliminating paper documents by sharing documents electronically through Prolog delivers a huge benefit - at an estimated $50 a day, five days a week, for five years we can save around $65K in shipping costs alone."
