ProjectWise® and Microsoft® Office SharePoint® Server Software for Connecting People and Information across Project Teams

Enabling innovation – connecting resources In a global economy short on skills and long on innovation, architectural, engineering, and construction (AEC) project teams are rapidly adopting ProjectWise and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server to help streamline collaboration by: Propelling the AEC and operations sectors to the next level of innovation and change management, via knowledge-based design processes Providing integrated enterprise-scale capabilities to meet business-critical needs for: Effectively managing content and business processes Enabling better-informed business decisions through dynamic design review Finding the right information - in real-time - regardless of where it is located Simplifying how people work together across boundaries Empowering distributed project teams by: Maximizing employee utilization, increasing revenues and reducing redundancy Shortening time-to-market by streamlining content access and collaboration Reducing project rework, and avoiding late-delivery penalties

Solution Overview ProjectWise software connects people and information across project teams—no matter where they are located—and includes an integrated suite of desktop and server software for content management, content publishing and design review—to uniquely address the project needs of all connected stakeholders. ProjectWise is the only engineering project collaboration system to provide a choice of OnLine or OnPremise access and deployment options to ensure the right fit for teams of all shapes and sizes. Key offerings: Enterprise-level engineering content management Optimizations for geographically distributed project teams Design review environments for content creators, collaborators + consumers Multi-channel publishing tools for project deliverables Business Intelligence for lifecycle asset management and compliance Seamless integration with engineering and other desktop applications Flexible access and deployment options for teams of all shapes and sizes

A powerful joint solution founded on open standards All ProjectWise server technologies reside on the Microsoft Windows Server® platform Seamless integration with MicroStation® and AutoCAD® ProjectWise Web Server™ uses Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) ProjectWise Integration Server™ uses the Microsoft SQL Server™ database ProjectWise desktop applications integrate seamlessly with Microsoft Office applications Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 delivers benefits in end user experience, performance and productivity Key Benefits: Gain maximum ROI for your ProjectWise and SharePoint investment: Save time finding, validating and accessing project information Reduce project risk with a single source of truth for all project information Improve quality and consistency of all project deliverables Avoid late-delivery penalties, reduce last-minute rework, meet project deadlines Maximize workforce utilization and share work across multiple offices

Solution Summary Challenge: Increase team efficiency by overcoming common obstacles associated with having multiple disconnected systems for business, process, project accounting, and engineering information management. Solution: Get connected. Through a SharePoint portal, teams benefit from enterprise-wide capabilities for centralizing access to information from many sources. When SharePoint is integrated with ProjectWise, project teams benefit from additional capabilities specific to engineering content management, content publishing and design review. Results: ProjectWise users report average annual employee savings of 13 percent and many observe a ProjectWise return on investment between 10- and 40- times the cost to deploy. With results like these, it’s no surprise that 42 of the 50 leading organizations in the Engineering News Record Top 500 are now Connected by ProjectWiseSM.
