(WASHINGTON, DC, June 5, 2000)--The Beck Group, one of the country’s largest construction firms, is now managing one of its most recent large-scale construction projects online with Meridian Project System’s (MPS) innovative, new Internet project community, ProjectTalk.com. The Beck Group is using ProjectTalk.com to manage a multi-project, nationwide building program for a leading telecommunications company, constructing new call centers throughout the U.S. ProjectTalk.com is the first full-featured service of its kind for the AEC industry providing project communities with applications, e-commerce and content. The launch of ProjectTalk exemplifies the theme for the A/E/C Systems 2000 Conference "From Bricks to Clicks E-solutions for the AEC Industry," currently underway in Washington D.C. ProjectTalk.com is powered by Prolog, MPS’ well-known suite of project controls applications, and is supported by an extensive back-end infrastructure supplied by a prominent international data communications provider. The Beck Group will use the service to manage the entire lifecycle of its recent telecommunications project. ProjectTalk.com is a low-overhead solution that offers advantages such as rapid application deployment, the ability to scale applications as business grows and up-to-date project information and industry expertise. These unique features give company employees more time to focus on core business. "We have used Prolog Manager for years and we have a lot of confidence in Meridian’s products and service," said Jon Fingland, Office Engineer at The Beck Group. "We’ve wanted to use an online hosted solution for a long time and are very excited to be the first company to use ProjectTalk for such a large project. We are confident in the technical support, data and resources that Meridian has in place and Beck is considering using ProjectTalk.com for all our projects." Key features of ProjectTalk.com include multi-project, multi-site management of on-line project collaboration, document management, field administration, purchasing and cost control management. All ProjectTalk.com transactions are conducted in a highly secure environment. "Going ‘live’ with ProjectTalk.com is the actualization of the way eBusiness is revolutionizing project management within the AEC industry. By offering a Web-based solution on a subscription basis, we can better accommodate the unique project management requirements of companies of all sizes, while providing the world’s most robust project tools, Prolog Manager," said John Bodrozic, President and co-founder of MPS. "It’s going to allow us to better service the needs of the market while providing a cost-effective option that doesn’t compromise quality, making the design and construction process quicker and more efficient."
