Why Project Center is the Best Project Information Management Software
EMAIL MANAGEMENT
ORGANIZE, VIEW AND LINK TO ALL PROJECT EMAIL AND ATTACHMENTS
Is your project team buried in emails and plagued by mailbox size restrictions, inadequate search capabilities and the inability to relate an email to other project items? When email communications aren’t incorporated into the entire project record or are difficult to find, making timely and accurate decisions aren’t possible. Newforma makes email management easy by indexing all your project emails and providing powerful search capabilities, mobile access, integration with leading email solutions and the ability to relate your emails to other project documents and items.
SINGLE VIEW INTO THE PROJECT
VIEW ALL PROJECT INFORMATION, WHEREVER IT RESIDES
Building design is an iterative process where documents are in a state of continuous change and stored in a variety of locations. Many solutions force designers to waste what could be high-value activity time moving documents into a single proprietary database solution. Newforma software allows you the flexibility to store data anywhere you prefer (e.g. on the company network, FileNet, Panzura or other storage solution), which eliminates the administrative task of moving documents, and visibility into the data wherever it resides.
EMPOWERMENT THROUGH CONNECTION
CONNECT WITH OTHER BEST-IN-CLASS SYSTEMS
Newforma’s innovative cloud-based solution connects seamlessly with other best-in-class systems used on the project. These connections allow you and your extended project team to leverage project data without time-consuming double-entry or inefficient processes.
ELIMINATE COORDINATION ERRORS AND MITIGATE RISK
COLLABORATE IN REAL-TIME AND MAINTAIN A FULL AUDIT TRAIL
Your projects are complex. They involve many people from many companies constantly communicating, sharing documents and data while collaborating. To create transparency and mitigate risk of potential disputes, your project team needs a detailed record of who did what, and when. Newforma logs every project action and provides detailed audit logs enabling project accountability.
PROJECT CONTEXT
ORGANIZE AND LINK ALL PROJECT INFORMATION
Store your data intelligently and enable better-informed decisions. Newforma’s innovative software automatically indexes all digital information for every active and archived project in all the offices of the firm, wherever the data resides. Our software establishes relationships between the data to provide full project context. When you search using Newforma, you access the item you searched for and that item’s related information and supporting documentation, for each project or any combination of projects.
QUICKLY ORGANIZE AND SEARCH UNSTRUCTURED DATA
INDEXING EVERY FILE RESULTS IN FAST ALL-ENCOMPASSING SEARCH
Your teams are too busy solving important design issues to waste time searching for critical project information. With Newforma, every file, action item and email on your network is indexed, resulting in a powerful all-encompassing search. Newforma provides fast easy access to all project files (e.g. BIM models, XREF files, DWG’s, etc.) including files itemized content, wherever files are stored.
MOBILE APPS & CLOUD BROWSER INTERFACESNewforma offers users the option of adopting a collection of mobile apps to make work in the field easy. Some firms use every app, while others choose one or several based on their needs as they manage design and construction projects from inception to completion.
