VHSoft partners with HP in the Supply, Delivery, Installation, Commissioning, Maintenance, Training & Other Related Services of the Housing Construction Management Enterprise System [HOMES] Project for the Hong Kong Housing Authority

VHSoft Technologies, a Total IT solutions and services provider, partners with Hewlett-Packard HK SAR Ltd [HP] in the Supply, Delivery, Installation, Commissioning, Maintenance, Training & Other Related Services of the Housing Construction Management Enterprise System [HOMES] for the Hong Kong Housing Authority [HKHA] to implement a system for enhancing the control and monitoring of construction projects.

HKHA called for an IT Implementation Plan (ITIP) consultancy study in March 2002 to formulate a 5-years IT implementation plan. The study was completed in September 2002. It was found that despite the existing standalone IT systems are mostly sufficient or manageable to support the operational and management needs in the division, integrate business and IT systems designed for the whole development and construction process in CD are still needed to transform CD to become an excellence organization with high productivity and quality capability.

To address these needs, business process improvement opportunities are identified and potential IT systems are proposed. Ten IT systems grouped under the core application suite known as HOMES (Housing Construction Management Enterprise System) is jointly developed by HP and VHSoft, with an aim to streamline processes, improve workflow, as well as to achieve better system integration and data sharing, by the adoption and application of new technology.
