Abstract
All too often project control systems are sluggish and cumbersome to operate, error-prone and do not link in automatically with other systems. Consequently, management and users waste valuable time re-analysing and correcting data and reports.

This paper will highlight the opportunities for creating responsive and relevant computer based project management tools and techniques that are well understood by users; and some of the major performance, interfaces, security and control issues to be resolved when implementing project control information systems.
