What is project information management (PIM) software?
PIM addresses the basic needs of organizing, finding, tracking, sharing, monitoring and reusing technical project information and communications in a way that is completely aligned with the people and processes that depend on that information.
In one industry-focused and integrated solution, Newforma software connects architecture, engineering and construction firms to each other, to their project information, to their processes, and to remote team members, all for the purpose of more successful project delivery.
More than 450,000 AEC professionals in 10 countries are connected using Newforma PIM software to help manage information on more than 785,000 projects.
To date, Newforma software has indexed over 1.2 billion documents, can search more than 250 million project emails, has delivered more than 7.3 million transmittals, and has logged and managed more than one million submittals.
“HOK manages three classes of information with three core applications which, like the legs of a stool, provide a framework for capturing the knowledge we need to drive continuous innovation and superior project delivery. We use Deltek Vision to manage the data related to the business of architecture, and we use Autodesk Revit to author the deliverables we provide to our clients and contractors. The third leg of the stool, and the most challenging to date, is enabling the processes of architecture, for which we have selected Newforma Project Center as our enterprise tool.”
