Xybernaut Corporation's Program and Project Management Solution Selected For $1 Million Contract
FAIRFAX, Va., Jun 26, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Xybernaut Corporation (NASDAQ: XYBR chart, msgs), the leader in wearable computing and communications solutions, today announced that it has received a two year, $1 million contract from the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) for the installation of Xybernaut Solutions, Inc's (XSI) Program and Project Management System (PPMS), and the purchase of its OPX2 - enterprise project management system.
The PPMS is a fully integrated program, project and task management solution designed by Xybernaut Solutions, Inc. in conjunction with state DOT organizations to help them manage their Capital Improvement Programs. The PPMS is a total solution that includes commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) project scheduling systems, such as Artemis, Primavera, OPX2 and Microsoft Project.
By using the PPMS, state DOT organizations have the ability to model every project included in Capitol Improvement Programs. This modeling includes the ability to perform "what if" analysis for funding within the entire program to ensure success for the DOT.
"We are excited about this total solution provided by XSI," stated Mike Randall, Bureau Chief for the Information Services Bureau at MDT. "Xybernaut Solutions has proven itself by working with other DOT organizations. Their PPMS solution will provide MDT with better control of the Capital Funding, project management and resource management for our entire Capital program. This solution is unique and XSI is the only company we have found who has this technology and experience. We look forward to a long relationship with XSI."
"As more DOTs join our family, our ability to service all DOTs more effectively increases," stated Jacques Rebibo, Executive Vice President of North American Operations for Xybernaut(R) Corporation. "We are quickly becoming the one-stop-shop for DOT organizations to call on when they have questions or issues concerning program and project management."
