Works aims to expedite payments for public works projects undertaken by different departments. The platform registries and APIs ensure units have instant access to trusted information that improves coordination between the various departments. The seamless flow of information ensures payments are fast-tracked, projects are managed better, and departments can execute more work.
The platform design provides the capability to integrate smart payments with iFIX. The integration enables departments to track project milestones and simplify vendor payments. The multi-layer architecture design ensures transparency, visibility and fast decisions all of which translate to an accelerated pace of development. The registries and APIs ensure information flows seamlessly across channels removing the challenges of siloed data structures and facilitating interoperability.
