The brief

Built for one division. Now used across all of them.

PRISMnx began as contract and project management software for King County’s Department of Natural Resources. It is now the system of record for the county’s capital construction program, projects, and contracts across every capital construction division: more than $20 billion in lifetime appropriations managed, with $2 billion each year, in a single system.

We have rebuilt it three times as the technology underneath it changed, rather than letting it age, and carried its data and its users across each generation of platform.

“We have had the privilege of working with Meserow Design Inc. for the past 25+ years, and our experience has been nothing short of exceptional. Their ability to innovate and adapt to evolving technology has been invaluable. There’s no one else I’d rather do a complex software project with.”
