IMS + CBA delivers Oracle Primavera consulting, staffing, training, and project controls services that help owners, contractors, and project controls professionals reduce time, cost, and project failure risk.
Organizations today face increasing pressure to deliver projects faster, more efficiently, and with greater visibility.
IMS, established in 1993 and CBA in 1984, now operate as a unified company. Together, we provide a complete project delivery ecosystem built around six core service pillars, each designed to reduce time, cost, and project failure risk across construction, CapEx, and outage and maintenance projects:
Professional Services
The result: fewer surprises, tighter cost control, and project delivery that stays on track from initiation through closeout.
Project Staffing
Whether you need a single scheduler for a critical project or a full project controls team for a multi-year Capex program, we provide the right specialists at the right time. Every placement is backed by our combined methodology, so your staff augmentation delivers consistent, measurable outcomes, not just headcount.
Project Management Software → Oracle Primavera & Construction Project Management Software
IMS’s Project Info Center is the most robust reporting and dashboarding tool allowing project stakeholders and executives key insight into project schedules as it happens. No more waiting on updates or a paper printout to know what the current status of projects.
Training → Oracle Primavera P6, OPC, Microsoft Project
IMS+CBA’s training programs are delivered by active consultants — not generic instructors — who bring real project experience into every classroom. Courses are available at our training centers in Perrysburg, Ohio and Atlanta, Georgia, as well as on-site at your location. From Oracle Primavera P6 Fundamentals to Advanced Scheduling and project controls certification prep, our curriculum is built to close the skills gap that puts projects at risk. For project controls professionals and construction teams, this is training that translates directly to better project outcomes.
Hosting & Managed Services
For owners and contractors who need Oracle Primavera P6, Acumen fuse, or software like HCSS Heavy Bid environments to alleviate the internal IT burden of managing infrastructure, IMS+CBA’s Hosting & Managed Services provide a secure, high-performance solution. We handle system administration, upgrades, backups, and performance monitoring, so your project controls team can focus on delivering projects, not managing servers. Reduced IT overhead, predictable costs, and enterprise-grade reliability.
Data & Performance Intelligence
For project controls professionals managing multiple projects or portfolios, disconnected data is one of the biggest drivers of cost overruns and schedule failures. IMS+CBA’s proprietary Project Information Center (PIC) platform integrates data across Oracle Primavera P6, OPC, and other project systems into a single source of truth — giving owners and contractors the real-time performance intelligence they need to make faster, better decisions. From earned value dashboards to predictive forecasting, PIC turns raw project data into actionable insight. We also partner with other industry leaders like LoadSpring Insights with Elsie and AI consultants that can deliver tailored, customized AI tools for your company and business growth.
