[October 21, 2008] State of Ohio implements Skire Unifier software Tweet Oct 21, 2008 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- Skire, a provider of project portfolio management software, has announced that the State of Ohio has implemented Skire Unifier at several state agencies and educational institutions. According to the company, Unifier software enables the State of Ohio to oversee the entire lifecycle of its capital projects, from planning, budgeting, design, and construction, through ongoing facilities and renovation management. The state has deployed Unifier in a program designed to provide comprehensive capital program lifecycle management capabilities to 21 state agencies, 14 public four-year colleges and universities, and 23 public two-year and technical colleges across Ohio. Key non-financial business processes provided by Skire Unifier, including design reviews, construction management, document management, and communication processes, have been implemented during the state's first deployment phase as part of the Ohio Administrative Knowledge System Capital Improvement (OAKS CI) system. The second phase will focus on linking Unifier with the state's enterprise resource planning system to provide integrated financial business processes, said Skire. John Leet, director of marketing at Skire, said: "We are delighted with the reception of Unifier within the State of Ohio, a strategic Skire customer that shares our vision for a fully integrated lifecycle approach to capital project and facilities management. The State of Ohio has taken a role in implementing best practices across the state and we congratulate the team on its progress." http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
