Project Guidance for Local Government
Software that guides your team through sound project management practice — and teaches it along the way. It structures the work without forcing it: leave out what you don't need and PGP flags the gaps rather than blocking you. One-time purchase. No subscriptions. Your data stays on your hardware.

Why PGP
Every feature in PGP came from a real problem encountered managing real government projects. No bloat. No features built for a demo.
Integration, Scope, Schedule, Cost, Quality, Resources, Communications, Risk, Procurement, and Stakeholder — all structured, all connected.
Track vendor commitments, submittals, RFIs, and transmittals. Build the documentation trail before you need it in a dispute.
Teach Me panels explain PMBOK concepts in context. PGP guides your team through good practice and flags what's missing — it never blocks the work. No PMP certification required.
Runs on your hardware via Podman. Air-gap friendly. No cloud dependency. Your data never leaves your network.
One-time purchase. You own the software. No renewal surprise, no price increase, no vendor leverage over your budget cycle.
Priced at $1.25 per capita with a $6,500 floor. A tool you can actually get through procurement — not a six-figure enterprise conversation.
New in v3.3
PGP v3.3 adds plain-language search across every record and document, with optional grounded AI chat for teams that run their own language model. See it on the product page →
Ask in plain language — “which electrical submittals are due this week?” — and get ranked, domain-grouped results across every record and document. No tab-by-tab clicking.
Answers in readable prose and cites the records and user-guide chapters it drew from. Point it at your own local language model — or leave it off and Search keeps working.
Ask about civil drainage or electrical NCRs and results narrow automatically. 21 engineering disciplines tagged across documents, RFIs, submittals, contracts, and field actions.
PGP Coverage
Most project management software covers scheduling or contracts. PGP covers the full lifecycle — all ten knowledge areas, all six phase gates.
Also included
Total Cost of Ownership
Competitors bill annual maintenance on top of six-figure setup fees. PGP is a single transaction. No renewal conversations. No budget surprises.
"One time. You own it. No recurring fees. No vendor lock-in. Your data stays on your hardware."
* Competitor estimates based on published market rates. Your pricing varies by vendor and negotiation.
Who PGP Serves
PGP is not built for federal agencies or Fortune 500 contractors. It is built for the entities that do the real work of local government.
Cities and towns managing capital projects, vendor contracts, and public works — without a full PMO staff to run them.
Counties running multi-department initiatives, grant-funded infrastructure, and complex procurement with council accountability requirements.
Utility authorities, transit districts, and other special-purpose entities that need real structure without enterprise-scale overhead.
Deployment
PGP runs on-premises using Podman. No SaaS dependency. No data leaving your network. Compatible with air-gapped environments.
Get Started
Trials are granted by EGS at our discretion — not self-serve downloads. The trial runs fully for 90 days, then reverts to read-only: your data stays put, view and export still work, and purchasing unlocks that version forever — perpetual, no recurring fees.
Currently accepting trial requests from GMIS International member entities and qualified local government referrals.
