How to utilize the strengths of the Enterprise Content Management in project management?
The most typical industrial branch for project management is the construction industry. Therefore, a special segment of ECM solutions has been established - Construction Management.
The most usual scenario is that the project management appoints team members from different areas and assigns them tasks with completion dates. Architects, designers, engineers, suppliers, and manufacturers must be coordinated. They carry out their activities at various locations and – depending on their profession – also with various technologies. What do creative and construction teams have to cope with most often? The main challenges comprise work under time pressure, maximal safety during the construction, as well as the operating safety of completed structures. A great emphasize is placed on project management and its contribution to costs reduction, optimization of project schedules and tasks. On-line communication is commonly required; the same applies to documentation and collaboration through web client environment, which enables coordination of designs and construction with the requirements of the customer and with the up-to-date situation so that quality and time to market are observed.
