HOW CMCS DRIVES INDUSTRY-WIDE GOVERNANCE TRANSFORMATION WITH PMWEB

Outcomes: Bringing Order to a Chaotic Industry

Capital construction is at a turning point. Project values are rising and so are expectations for accountability. Across the Middle East, national visions and gigaprojects are placing unprecedented pressure on project owners to deliver with transparency, control, and efficiency.

For CMCS, a leading governance consultancy and long-standing PMWEB partner, this moment represents opportunity and responsibility. By implementing PMWEB across hundreds of projects, CMCS is helping clients:

• Recover millions in lost or mismanaged funds
• Establish real-time, audit-ready reporting
  
• Strengthen compliance and enforce standards
• Build cultures of accountability that scale

With PMWEB, our clients move from reactive firefighting to proactive control. That’s how real leadership works — with visibility and precision at every level.

Bassam Samman, CEO & Founder

• Partner with project owners, from government ministries to real estate developers
• Comply with national mandates for transparency and anti-corruption
  
• Reduce fraud, inefficiency, and unmanaged risk
• Standardize project delivery across expanding portfolios
• Equip leadership with reliable, real-time performance data
• Build digital governance structures aligned with long-term capital investment goals
  
  

Solution: A System of Control, Not Just a System of Record

CMCS uses PMWEB to help clients transform governance from an abstract goal into a repeatable, enforceable system. Rather than layering technology on top of broken processes, they configure PMWEB to reflect how work should happen — and to ensure it does.

PMWEB’s platform gives CMCS clients:

• Audit-ready workflows for all critical project and financial approvals
• Portfolio-level dashboards tailored to executive oversight needs
  
• Customizable forms to meet multilingual and organizational-specific data requirements
• Integrated change and cost management tied to real-time progress
• Document management and traceability for every submission, action, and revision

The beauty of PMWEB is that it doesn’t just show you the data — it shows you the process. And when the process is clear, so is accountability.

Collaboration: Long-Term Partnership, Continuous Value

CMCS does more than support the implementation of PMWEB, they’re also trusted advisors on project governance. With over a decade of partnership, they’ve helped clients align people, policies, and platforms to deliver better outcomes, faster.

Their ability to translate high-level governance strategy into executable, user-friendly workflows is a key differentiator, especially for clients managing complex programs across ministries, subsidiaries, or regions.

Results: Measurable Impact, Proven at Scale

CMCS clients report significant improvements across all dimensions of project control:

• $10M recovered in misplaced funds after implementing PMWEB
• Mandated PMWEB adoption across entire agencies and development arms
  
• Instant executive reporting replacing 6-month delayed updates
• Full governance lifecycle digitized, from idea to handover
• Faster decision-making and reduced bottlenecks with automated workflows
  
  

Benefits: A Blueprint for Scalable, Accountable Delivery

• Reduce risk through enforced policy and process compliance.
• Standardize data collection and improve accuracy across stakeholders.
• Gain executive-level visibility into active and planned projects.

What we build with PMWEB isn’t just a system. It’s an operating model — one that supports real-time decisions, not just record-keeping.
