LINK DSG Joins Forces with Asite™ and SaaS North America to Improve Content Management Capabilities for Building Projects
LONDON (PRWEB UK) 18 September 2011
Architects, engineers and contractors now have an easier way to collaborate on the hundreds of documents required to complete building projects of all sizes.
Asite’s cloud technology gives everyone involved in a construction project access to key documents online, allowing for increased collaboration, fewer mistakes, reduced rework, and time and cost savings.
The collaborative solution for the building industry is a joint effort of LINK Document Services Group, Thomas Reprographics, NRI and SaaS North America. The solution is powered by Asite technology, which provides an easy-to-use Web-based platform that is widely used by architects, engineers and construction industry for increased project collaboration and workflow management.
“We’re pleased to offer the Asite solution to our clients to simplify their collaboration and improve their workflow management capabilities,” said Bryan Thomas, Co-Founder of LINK Document Services Group.
Asite technology allows architects, engineers and contractors to load project documents to a secure website hosted by Asite, with permission granted to project members to review, revise, comment and collaborate. This ensures everyone on the project team is working from the most current, accurate versions of construction documents.
The Asite technology includes the ability to view files in more than 250 formats without users needing the software on their individual computers. The technology also includes communication tools and the ability to build in rules for access and workflow to ensure documents are reviewed by the right people at the right time.
“These features are exactly what our clients want and need to increase their efficiency and collaboration,” said Doug Magid, President of NRI. “The access to a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform lets our clients take advantage of today’s cloud technology to get projects done on time and on spec.”
Additional features available in Asite include bid management, procurement services, document storage and management, collaborative building information modeling (cBIM), global print distribution, reporting capabilities, and the automation of key tasks.
“We are excited to welcome LINK, NRI and Thomas Reprographics to the Asite partner community,” said Tony Ryan, Asite CEO. “Together, we will continue to provide leading digital services to the AEC industry throughout the world in an effort to simplify the complex document management tasks they face every day.”
