As the global “gold standard” in project management, the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®) has been at the core of EPC Solutions' practices since 2008. We have long encouraged our team to study PMBOK®, with many members holding PMP certifications, forming a strong foundation of professional expertise. This foundation drives the development of the EPC Solutions CPM (Capital Project Management) software suite.

Each product in the CPM series is built on the unified EPC Foundation and deeply integrates PMBOK® principles, including:

EPC DOC – Project Document & Collaboration Management System

EPC CM – Project Cost Management System

EPC PPS – Project Planning & Scheduling System

PMIS – Project Management Information System

All systems are designed in strict accordance with PMBOK®’s five process groups (Initiating, Planning, Executing, Monitoring & Controlling, and Closing) and ten knowledge areas (Scope, Time, Cost, Quality, Risk, etc.), delivering a full-lifecycle digital solution from project inception to completion.

Initiating Phase: EPC DOC identifies stakeholders and defines objectives and scope. Planning Phase: EPC PPS supports WBS creation and Gantt chart scheduling, while EPC CM builds precise cost budgets.

Executing Phase: The software facilitates task assignments, real-time feedback, and mobile updates.

Monitoring & Controlling Phase: It compares actual vs. planned progress, cost, and quality in multiple dimensions.

Closing Phase: Centralized delivery and knowledge archiving create a complete project lifecycle loop.

Fully Aligned with PMBOK® 7th Edition – Embracing Agile and Iterative Management

Following the release of PMBOK® 7th Edition, EPC Solutions swiftly upgraded its software systems to reflect the new framework. The updated PMBOK® emphasizes 12 value-driven principles and 8 performance domains—such as “Stakeholder Engagement,” “Systems Thinking,” and “Adaptability & Resilience”—which are now fully embedded in our workflows and user interface designs.

In today’s rapidly changing and complex environments, our CPM suite offers flexible tailoring capabilities, supporting predictive, agile, and hybrid delivery models—perfectly aligning with the evolving needs of capital project management for agile execution and continuous improvement.

In summary, the CPM software series is a powerful tool driving industry transformation. With robust AI-powered capabilities and seamless integration with XSP (our BIM platform), EPC Solutions delivers a smarter, more efficient project management experience.
