Release Cleopatra 4.0

Cost Engineering, the industry leader in the field of cost estimating and cost management software is proud to announce the release of Cleopatra Enterprise 4.0.

Primavera Interface

The Primavera interface module allows for synchronization between Primavera schedules and Cleopatra Enterprise estimates, not only saving time, but increasing the efficiency of both applications. Using the Primavera interface module, estimators can instantly create work breakdown structures directly from a Primavera schedule. Likewise, schedulers can automatically transfer budget cost and resources from an estimate to a schedule. Furthermore, the data exchange is completely configurable allowing users to specify what and how data is transferred between the systems.

The Primavera Interface and module is your ultimate solution for project
management: the integration of cost and time by combining the best tools for the job. You can have your cash flow calculated instantly and determine how your estimate should be escalated based on the derived commitment curves. By linking your estimated hours to your schedule you will get insight in your resource density profile allowing you to streamline your resource management.

Kildrummy® CostMANAGER Interface

Once the budget of your project has been estimated, you need to control that budget. A good tool to do this is Kildrummy® CostMANAGER, which is an enterprise wide, project cost control solution. It bridges the gap between corporate accounting and project planning. Cleopatra 4 now comes with a configurable interface to provide a seamless exchange of data, so your complete project life cycle is supported cost-wise.

More than 70 features added

Finally, we have added more than 70 features to our existing modules. Some of the important ones are custom fields, classification structures and combined breakdown structures. Classification structures allow you to classify your projects through hierarchical structures. Classification structures are essential when retrieving historical projects for instance when
doing a validation of your estimate based on historical metrics.

With regression analysis, another new feature, it is now possible to establish a Cost Estimate Relationship (CER) and do a best guess of your cost drivers based on key parameters. We have listened to our users and incorporated many feature requests!

The best way to experience the improvements in Cleopatra Enterprise 4 is to see it for yourself. If you are a user of Cleopatra Enterprise, and you have a valid maintenance contract, you will be upgraded to Cleopatra Enterprise 4.0 automatically. If you do not use Cleopatra Enterprise, please use the form on our website to apply for a demonstration. Of course you are also welcome to call your Cost Engineering contact person to set an appointment for a personal demonstration.
