INEIGHT CASE STUDY:
BASELINE
FAST AND EASY ROLLOUT
Baseline moved quickly to start using solutions from InEight’s modular, cloud-based portfolio. The first solution deployed was InEight Control, to which Baseline has added Estimate, Plan, Progress, Change, Schedule, Design, Report, and Explore.
“In the simplest terms, we are using InEight to keep track of two key things: time and money,” says Mats Nyland. “Rolling out InEight was quite simple: there’s nothing to install, so all we really needed to do was determine where would we be storing information and who would have access to it.”

“InEight is like the umbrella over this project. Everything feeds into InEight for visibility, control, and reporting.”

ABOUT BASELINE
Baseline AS is a Norwegian consultancy that specializes in the end-to-end delivery of heavy civil projects. It provides strategic advice and operational resources in project control, planning and production follow-up for complex infrastructure projects. Baseline consultants prepare full-scale plans utilizing their unique methodological approach combined with modern tools, helping clients assess project risks for major infrastructure projects.
A SINGLE VERSION OF THE TRUTH
Airport construction began after a 10-month design phase that included light construction. Rolled-up cost estimates from the main contract are fed into InEight Estimate every month for benchmarking and then flow into InEight Control, Plan, and Progress. InEight Schedule is used to provide updated schedules of work to relevant subcontractors, and InEight Change manages change reports.
“InEight is like the umbrella over this project,” says Tomas Warnqvist. “The lead contractors use different tools in some cases, but everything feeds into InEight for visibility, control, and reporting.”
Power BI dashboards populated with data from the project’s InEight solutions will be displayed on large screens to keep everyone informed about progress.
Using InEight solutions, Baseline delivers the required transparency and visibility on cost and progress to all project participants.
“Anyone who has worked on a heavy civil project will know the pain of trying to work with numerous different versions of PDFs, Microsoft Project plans, and Excel spreadsheets that are all disconnected from each other,” says Mats Nyland. “With a single version of the truth available from InEight, everyone knows they are looking at the right version. And any new information is automatically shared with the appropriate people.”
Tomas Warnqvist adds: “The InEight solutions avoid a lot of noise and wasted man-hours that otherwise come from people viewing information from different angles and not seeing the same thing.”
