Our Story and Journey

More than 16 years ago, two companies with complementary expertise - Australasia Consulting Group (ACG) Pty Ltd and Output DSJ Pty Ltd - came together to solve an information logistics and governance problem. The primary problem that needed to be addressed was how to keep all of the people and their activities together in one place that could be shared, tracked, monitored and reported for progress against outcomes. This was particularly relevant for sharing information securely, appropriately and sensitively, for shared Programs and Projects between multiple organisations.

In each generation of development the system we developed grew, module by module, to become a comprehensive Program Management System suited to many contexts. Although originally designed for Research Management & Governance, our system is now used in Health and many other contexts where Programs need to be managed.

Our Clients say...

"CRC for Infrastructure Engineering (CIEAM) was extended from its previous 7 year operation that ended on 30th June 2010. The extension took effect from 1st July 2010 for a three (3) year period ending 30th June 2013.

It its first 7 years, project accounting and milestone management was being delivered by a highly unreliable spreadsheet systems which required manipulation and detailed analysis at the end of each reporting period to extract results. It did not necessarily produce project costs that the Centre and its researchers had contracted to complete. Milestone completion and reporting was ad hoc and untimely.

When the CIEAM Board and Management decided to pursue the CIEAM extension we employed Centric's Bid Management Systems which helped us manage all aspects of the CRC bid and to build what was a highly successful proposal. The ability to populate a purpose built data base constructed to generate CRC metrics and projections provided a verifiable and highly reputable platform and was significantly more beneficial that a spreadsheet matrix which has inbuilt idiosyncrasies. Centric truly assisted us in mounting our winning bid.

Under a transparent and rigorous selection process, CENTRIC was then also selected as our ongoing reporting system, a decision we are still very pleased about. The following are key successes that have been driven by the CENTRIC system:

Ownership and responsibility at all levels with regular milestones reporting and workflow approval of project deliverables

Quarterly effort reporting based on based on verifiable and supportable actual results

Annual CRC reporting made easy with the automated generation of all metrics required by CRC including actual and budgeted FTEs

An excellent data base against which quarterly reconciliation between CENTRIC managing projects and the CIEAM MYOB used for financial management is a straightforward process

An integrated IP Management Register which will be very much needed now in our Wind Up process

An effective repository for a host of project related documents that will also assist in Wind Up requirements.

CIEAM wishes to record its firm endorsement of the CENTRIC project management system, I would be please to provide a testimonial to any prospective client of the system."
