Leverage existing infrastructure and applications
"Add value to the technologies we currently use; don't reinvent the wheel."
We’ve taken to heart the advice from customers that there’s no value in replicating the functions already well-performed by file servers, email and exchange servers, CAD/BIM systems or other design applications. Instead, we create value by removing inefficiencies from existing processes.
Add value to email
A single project might have thousands or tens of thousands of related emails. Nevertheless, numerous project processes – such as issue tracking and project archiving – are encumbered by the fact that email, residing on an email server, is disconnected from related documents. It’s not easily organized with project information on your central file server.
Newforma Project Center™ has broken this logjam with an easy-to-use Outlook™ plug-in. One click in Outlook lets you store email with other project files. And it deletes the extra copies that otherwise fill up personal mailboxes or public folders.
Break through the filing maze
Recognizing that a project is made up of many team members generating, reviewing and editing many different types of documents, Newforma Project Center provides a project-centric view of all related information, no matter its type or location on your network.
There’s more. The Newforma Project Center Server adds value by indexing all this project information, including emails and attachments, on your internal network. As a result, project team members can instantly retrieve project information through a simple keyword search. Nobody needs to navigate complex corporate file servers.
"We soon discovered that Project Email was just one of many Newforma capabilities that our project managers could use to save time and gain control over their project information.”
