Integration, expansion and Sixth Edition
Dear customers, partners and friends of Newforma:
Integrated project delivery (IPD) is increasingly important to our customers these days. In response to demand we have just added six new topics to our popular IPD webinar series. And our recently released Newforma® Project Center Sixth Edition includes added capabilities to facilitate IPD. Newforma’s integration with partners is growing, too, as we expand domestically and in the United Kingdom. Finally, for a creative way one Newforma customer is promoting integration of Newforma® Project Center with office work processes, see the article at bottom.

AECbytes looks at collaboration software for IPD
Integrated project delivery requires software that improves information sharing, raises accountability, heightens transparency, removes redundancy and reduces duplication of content. In this AECbytes feature article, Founder and Editor Lachmi Khemlani examines three products that promote those goals: Organice’s document management software, Attolist’s web portal, and Newforma’s software for project information management (PIM).
