The City of Longueuil has implemented a corporate project management system to improve project tracking, cost and schedule control and accountability.

"With this new integrated platform, we will now benefit from a standardized process for managing all of the City's projects," explains Marie-Chantal Verrier, the City's Assistant Director General, Sustainable Development. "This acquisition will allow for even more rigorous monitoring of costs and project progress while providing a reliable overview of them."
