Construction, Engineering

Improve the flow of communication around your projects by exchanging related documents with clients and stakeholders, regardless of file type or size.

At the foundation of every building is a tremendous amount of data defining every detail of its creation. Projects are also shaped by strict budget and time constraints and numerous corporate and governmental compliance standards that must be honored throughout each stage. Contracts, project plans, technical specifications, schedules, blueprints, photos, videos, etc, must pass through many hands for review, revision, approval, planning, and implementation.

Coordination and precision are everything in the engineering, development, and construction industries. Therefore the successful execution of every project relies on the timely circulation of all project information among all associated parties, including project managers, technical managers, architects, experts, control offices, planning departments, lawyers, insurers, notaries, and so on.

Connecting all the dots for each project is critical, and the pitfalls of traditional file exchange and management systems present too many risks within the process. Transmitting very large files gets tricky, and they often don’t reach their final destinations. The latest revisions of documents getting mixed up with the previous versions that are sitting in your email inbox is also a problem.

When it comes to structural planning and development, with all the inherent intricacies, compliance regulations, safety issues, and budget and timeline limitations, there simply isn’t room for errors.

The Challenges with Traditional Systems

Email Attachments

  • File size limits and server rejection/delivery failure issues
  • Confidentiality risks and poor security
  • Inability to sort multiple revisions of documents circulating among numerous parties creates file clutter and leads to costly mistakes

FTP Sites

  • Costly to operate and overly complex for non-technical users – IT staff support required for account setup, standard tasks, and frequent maintenance
  • Firewall policies/IT network restrictions, delivery failure issues, and slow downloads
  • Confidentiality risks and poor security

Network File Servers

  • Costly to operate – requires hardware purchase and IT staff support for installation, setup, and ongoing maintenance
  • Limited to internal use
  • Confidentiality risks

Computer Aided Design (CAD) Applications and Document Management Systems (DMS)

  • Costly to purchase, install, setup, and run
  • Overly complex for casual and external users
  • CAD collaborative features dedicated to internal design teams only
  • Confidentiality risks
