Case Study
Enterprise PMIS Implementation for Mega Infrastructure Portfolios
Integrating a hybrid PMIS ecosystem for a Saudi sovereign fund, consolidating commercial control across multi-billion-riyal national infrastructure megaprojects.
Overview
Omnix engineered an NCA-compliant hybrid PMIS for a major Saudi sovereign infrastructure fund, seamlessly integrating ACC, Oracle Unifier, and P6. This centralized ecosystem eliminates data fragmentation and accelerates commercial control across multi-billion-riyal national megaprojects.
The Challenge
As a major sovereign development entity scales national infrastructure assets in line with Saudi Vision 2030, managing a vast network of Project Management Companies (PMCs), design consultants, and active contractors introduces severe operational friction.
Key Inefficiencies Included:
- Data Fragmentation: Crucial project records were trapped in disconnected tracking tools, separating active design modifications from schedule and cost tracking.
- Financial Visibility Gaps: Disjointed tracking of enterprise-level cost controls, commitments, variations, and contractor payment certificates across active megaprojects.
- Workflow Bottlenecks: Lack of unified, cross-stakeholder approval loops hampered rapid executive reporting and scheduling milestones.
- Regulatory Constraints: The critical need to scale project portfolios while maintaining strict alignment with National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA) data residency regulations.
The Solution
Omnix engineered a best-of-breed hybrid architecture that assigns distinct lifecycle stages to specialized software ecosystems—eliminating data redundancies and establishing an auditable environment.
- Design & Common Data Environment (CDE) | Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC): Functions as the primary coordination layer. Enforces standardized review workflows, BIM collaboration, and tight document control across external consultants and internal teams.
- Cost & Commercial Control | Oracle Primavera Unifier: Serves as the ultimate enterprise system of record. Manages cash flow forecasting, budget allocations, contract commitments, and automated payment applications.
- Planning & Master Scheduling | Primavera P6 EPPM: Tracks master schedule baselines and delivery metrics, directly feeding progress data to inform cost adjustments.
- Security & Governance | NCA-Compliant Hybrid Architecture: Insulates sensitive government data assets, maintaining strict compliance with local data sovereignty laws.
Business Impact & Value
- Consolidated Commercial Control: Successfully aligned field progress and design cycles with enterprise cost forecasting, mitigating risk across the multi-billion-riyal portfolio.
- Unified Ecosystem Access: Integrated disparate internal teams, PMCs, and vendor networks into one standardized, permission-controlled hub.
- Near-Zero Latency Approvals: Accelerated invoice processing and design sign-offs by automating cross-platform data mapping.
- Future-Ready Scalability: Established a robust digital infrastructure baseline capable of supporting ongoing, long-term national portfolio expansion.
