Dark Clouds, Silver Linings
Dear customers, partners and friends of Newforma:
Dire business conditions require the best performance to make it through. Fortunately, Newforma is helping our customers do just that, as you will read below. And despite the stormy economic weather, Newformants have somehow found a few sunny days before winter sets in to exchange lines of code for fishing lines.

Newforma helps firms weather downturn
Newforma enjoyed strong third quarter sales as architects and engineers turned to our solution as a means to work as productively as possible in an increasingly difficult economic environment. AE firms are adopting Newforma software to help existing staff maintain high levels of service for ongoing customer relationships while simultaneously extending project work into recession-proof market segments or geographies.

PIM and the DNA of integrated project delivery
Newforma is presenting a new series of webinars that examine areas where PIM software contributes to the DNA of firms working toward more integrated practice. Topic areas include email management, the value of full-text search and accountability through visibility. For more information, including links to individual webinars, click here.
E-submittals management at coming events
Submittals management is one of the most time- and labor-intensive areas of contract administration. Newforma representatives will present case studies of e-submittals management Nov. 14 at the AIACC 2008 California Practice Conference and Nov. 19 at Build Boston. These presentations show how redundancies and energy-wasting steps can be eliminated using project information management (PIM) software to manage the process.
