AUSTIN,
Texas, July 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Aurigo
Software, North America's leading
capital planning and construction management solution provider,
announced significant updates to Aurigo Essentials, its easy-to-use
project management system for local and regional public agencies.
Originally launched in June 2019,
Essentials helps city and county public works departments, water
authorities, transit agencies, and other government entities plan
and execute their capital programs to deliver infrastructure and
facilities to their communities. Agencies in the United States and Canada can now sign up for a free, 30-day
trial of the software before making a commitment.
According to a United States Census Bureau report, the public
sector accounts for approximately one-quarter of all construction
spending in the country. Despite this, local agencies have
restricted technology budgets and fewer resources than their larger
counterparts at the state or federal level. Finding solutions that
meet both an agency's specific business requirements and their
budget can be challenging.
"With our latest release, we have transformed Essentials,
powered by AI and a new mobile app, to deliver transparency,
efficiency, and affordability to local agencies," said Balaji Sreenivasan, CEO and founder of Aurigo
Software. "The release includes a public portal that enhances
transparency and a modern UI that improves user experience at
cost-effective pricing, making these powerful tools accessible to
capital project owners. With Essentials, local agencies can
collaborate with general contractors, architects, and engineers
efficiently. We are delighted to expand our technology offerings to
help local governments manage their capital projects effectively
and build a better tomorrow."
The software is designed to enhance collaboration between
stakeholders, improve operational efficiency, and reduce the risk
of budget and schedule overruns on projects. Standardized workflows
can be deployed to ensure business process consistency, and
agencies may take advantage of the system's public engagement
toolset to interact with their community directly about local
initiatives. Essentials is usable out-of-the-box to accelerate how
quickly agencies can realize the benefits of a modern platform,
eliminating the typically long and expensive process of customizing
every facet of the solution.
Major updates to the Essentials platform include:
- A modern, intuitive user interface
- A native mobile application to track job site activities
- A public-facing portal to enhance transparency and engagement
with an agency's constituents
- A novel set of collaboration capabilities that allow real-time
communication between an agency's staff, consultants, and
contractors
- A free trial and cost-effective deployment without the
typically lengthy and complex procurement processes associated with
government software
"Often our customers with the fewest resources are the ones who
can benefit most from streamlining their capital projects," said
Pete Olds, Vice President of
Professional Services and Customer Success at Aurigo Software. "Our
new Essentials offering supports a wide range of project types and
allows a small project team or an entire department to get up and
running much more quickly than any other commercially available
product on the market right now."
Essentials has been developed to address the needs of an
underserved segment of the public sector. The software is FedRAMP
and StateRAMP accredited, offering the highest levels of
reliability and security available to government agencies. Aurigo
has seen significant growth in its local and regional customer base
as agencies prepare to modernize their capital programs. Customers
include the cities of Seattle,
Portland, and Las Vegas, and regional agencies in
Colorado, Florida, and Ontario, Canada.
