Program Controls & Owner’s Advisor Solution

Streamline capital project oversight with integrated tools for budgeting, scheduling, compliance tracking, and stakeholder coordination.

Program Controls and Owner's Advisor, on Microsoft 365

An owner’s advisor represents the owner’s interests across a capital program, keeping control of budget, schedule, risk, and contractor performance. Program controls is the system that makes that possible. Nexinite builds both into the Microsoft 365 you already own, so a program’s financials, schedules, and documents live in one place the owner controls, not in a contractor’s system.

What program controls delivers

A capital program has too many moving parts for email and spreadsheets. Nexinite brings them into one owner-controlled system on your Microsoft 365 tenant.

Budget and cost control
  • Program and project budgets tracked in one place
  • Commitments, changes, and forecasts visible as they happen
Schedule and milestones
  • Program-wide schedule with milestones and dependencies
  • Early warning when a project starts to slip
Document and contract control
  • Contracts, submittals, and correspondence in one permissioned library
  • A full audit trail for every decision
Stakeholder coordination
  • Owners, engineers, and contractors each see only what they should
  • Coordination happens in one system instead of scattered inboxes
Built on the Microsoft 365 you already own

Budget tracking, scheduling, document control, and reporting run on SharePoint, the Power Platform, and Power BI you already license. Everything stays in your own tenant, which is what keeps the owner in control of the program’s data.

Proof: public-sector delivery

Nexinite works with the Padre Dam Municipal Water District on a program management platform and the City of Cupertino on capital planning, connecting program, project, and asset data rather than leaving it in separate systems.
