The East County Advanced Water Purification (ECAWP) Program, a collaborative effort involving Padre Dam Municipal Water District, the City of El Cajon, Helix Water District, and the County of San Diego, faced significant challenges in managing a large-scale, complex infrastructure project. With over 30 consultants and organizations, and more than 200 individuals involved, the program needed a centralized platform to manage communication, document submittals, approvals, and data. The reliance on siloed systems and disconnected communications and workflows created inefficiencies, delays, and difficulty maintaining consistent communication across all stakeholders.
Additionally, the team explored enterprise solutions like CityWorks and e-Builder but found the associated SaaS fees prohibitive for their long-term budget. They needed a flexible, scalable, and cost-effective alternative that could maximize the tools they already owned.
Nexinite designed and implemented a custom Program Management Platform for the ECAWP program using Microsoft’s secure and scalable suite of tools, hosted within Padre Dam’s existing Microsoft tenant. Key features of the solution included:
Centralized Data and Communication Hub:
Microsoft Teams and the Power Platform allowed for a data driven environment for the program, consolidating all documents, submittals, workflows, and communication for over 200 program participants.
Document and Workflow Management:
Automated submittals, document approvals, and version control ensured timely reviews and minimized duplication or errors.
Custom Dashboards and Reporting:
Power BI dashboards provided real-time visibility into program progress, financials, and key performance indicators, allowing stakeholders to make informed decisions.
Stakeholder Collaboration:
Role-based access ensured secure communication and data sharing across all agencies, consultants, and contractors.
Cost-Effective Approach:
By leveraging existing Microsoft tools, Nexinite eliminated the need for high-cost third-party SaaS subscriptions, enabling a tailored solution that met all program requirements without ongoing fees.
Scalability and Flexibility:
The system was designed to adapt to future project phases and additional stakeholder needs, ensuring the platform could grow with the program’s requirements.
Padre Dam and its ECAWP partners now have a robust, unified platform to manage one of the region’s most innovative water purification projects. Key outcomes include:
Improved Efficiency: Significant time savings by automating document reviews, approvals, and data tracking.
Streamlined Communication: A centralized platform reduced miscommunication and ensured alignment across all stakeholders.
Cost Savings: The organization avoided costly SaaS subscriptions, reallocating resources toward the program’s infrastructure and development.
Enhanced Transparency: Real-time dashboards and tracking enabled stakeholders to stay informed and meet project milestones.
Agility: Allowed for agility within the technology deployed to meet the demands of an ever-changing environment.
Foundation for Future Projects: The scalable framework has set the foundation for other large-scale projects, ensuring a consistent approach to program management moving forward.
By focusing on flexibility, transparency, and cost-effectiveness, Nexinite provided a cutting-edge program management solution that supports the successful execution of the East County Advanced Water Purification Program while maximizing the value of existing Microsoft investments.
