Two cities needed a common Cost Management system for the development project of Public Transport service to follow up actual costs and to divide them according to the agreement between parties. Additionally, support was needed for annual budgeting, monthly forecasting, and the supplier invoicing approval process.

A significant engineering company needed a Cost Management system to support the operations of a new business unit providing Construction Management services. The Cost Management system was required to also support Procurement on behalf of the Project Owner. The Cost Management system was required to have the capability to communicate with the Project Owners' financial systems as well as the customer's cost calculation and supplier responsibility information services.

A large Finnish city chose a Joint Venture formed by two Contractors to carry out the railway extension project.

The Joint Venture purchased a general-purpose financial system to support its operations. In addition, the Joint Venture identified the need for its own Cost Management system, which would enable Construction Management to follow up and forecast costs. In addition to cost information, the Joint Venture needed a place to assess the project's income
