Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA) – iPro (Integrated Project Information Application)
GOAA engaged EPIC to replace its 25-year Access database with iPro—a secure web platform centralizing project controls—launched in 2015 and expanded to analytics, dashboards, alerts, and workflows.
Introduction
The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA), operator of Orlando International Airport (MCO), set out to modernize project controls for complex AEC programs.

- Provide executive reports, dashboards, and ad‑hoc queries without manual spreadsheet workarounds
- Integrate with SharePoint and align with airport IT standards
- Offer a modern web UI capable of scaling with capital program growth and stakeholder needs
Solution
EPIC delivered iPro, a modular, web‑based application built on a contemporary Microsoft and JavaScript stack, integrated with GOAA’s ecosystem.
