CAE Mining Integrates Hard Dollar Cost Management Solution in CAE Studio 5 Planner
Software Provides Transparent Delivery of Cost Throughout the Project Lifecycle
(firmenpresse) - PHOENIX, AZ and BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA -- (Marketwire) -- 07/26/12 -- CAE Mining and Hard Dollar, developer of (PCM) for capital projects, have announced that CAE Mining has integrated Hard Dollar's PCM software in its latest industry-leading mine design, planning, and scheduling software suite. Hard Dollar's integration with the new CAE Studio 5D Planner provides customers transparent delivery of cost and productivity throughout the entire project lifecycle.
CAE Mining selected Hard Dollar after an extensive review process. This integration is an industry first, seamlessly and instantly merging mine design, scheduling, financial, and productivity modeling, for both study and operations environments.
"With this integration, the financial implications of a design or scheduling change can now be instantly assessed. Other methods can take months to generate detailed and complex mining scenarios," said Dylan Webb, director of marketing and product strategy at CAE Mining. "Hard Dollar was clearly the right partner to help us achieve this ambitious goal. The decision to work with Hard Dollar was compelling, given that a number of our existing clients are already using the solution."
The Hard Dollar integration with CAE Studio 5D Planner offers the following key benefits to customers:
Streamlines the process of keeping project/life-of-mine budgets current due to constant changes in the mine plan and schedule.
Establishes a direct relationship between the budget dollars, productivity, and the associated scope and schedule variables, enabling users to quickly answer the question "where did you get that number?"
Responds to "what if?" scenarios across the mine plan, schedule, cost model, and labor providing instant answers to questions like "what happens to our schedule and budget if we eliminate one shaft and make two others larger?"
Doug Nicholas, CEO of Hard Dollar, goes on to say, "Hard Dollar's purpose is to give our customers the confidence of providing true cost and productivity projections to each of their clients and projects. One of our company goals is to forge partnerships with companies that mirror our commitment to making our customers' jobs easier and more efficient. CAE Mining shares this goal, which is why this partnership was obvious. CAE Mining's customers will now be able to establish a direct relationship between the budget, labor, and the moving variables of the scope and schedule, empowering users to quickly answer their cost questions."
