Maintenance and further development of a calculation program for bills of quantities
Project duration: 4 years
Brief description
The calculation program developed by PTA, with which construction projects can be planned and calculated, is extended by features for a higher user comfort. In addition, the application is now provided centrally via Citrix instead of as a stand-alone installation. This requires changes to the installation routine and the customer's authorization concept.
Supplement
Since the release of the software developed on the basis of WPF, requests for changes resulting from the use of the software have been formulated. Until now, the software has been used locally, which means that it must be rolled out anew for each user when updates are made. In the future, the software will be used centrally via Citrix. This means that updates can be carried out once centrally.
Subject description
The calculation software is used in the area of construction measures on the existing gas pipeline network. These measures include pipe construction, civil engineering and coatings (underground pipelines). The calculation is made on the basis of existing bills of services which are partly already agreed with suppliers, otherwise tenders will be issued. The tool enables IT-supported communication between the specialist department (construction engineers) and purchasing.
