Why WCG?
WCG
Medical Technology Planning System
WCG utilizes state-of-the-art hardware and software
to enhance the flow of information between project
team members. Since our business relies
heavily on the management and manipulation of
data, the firm has a substantial investment in
cutting edge hardware and software. Our software applications are currently standardized on Microsoft Office 2003.
We have also developed a custom Microsoft SQL database application, the Medical Technology Planning
System, which is designed specifically for medical
equipment planning for healthcare construction.
Other applications that we frequently use include
Project Manager for scheduling, Excel for budgeting,
and Word for project correspondence.
All project data can be transferred either electronically
by e-mail or data disks. We are also able
to access our database remotely.
