Dallas, Texas, [December 01, 2000] – Dallas-based Systemates® has launched Projectmates™,
an innovative web-based project collaboration service designed to allow architecture,
engineering, and construction (AEC) industry team members to collaborate remotely
via the Internet.
“Due to the nature of the work, AEC industry team members face challenging task
of keeping remote team members up to date on construction project progress. Projectmates
solves that by providing a common communication platform no matter where they office,”
says Systemates vice-president Hemant Bhave. “Unique, user-defined views give each
team member access to information instantly and securely.”
A project administrator may, for instance, permit full access for certain team members
and read-only access to others. Project essentials are organized in a user-defined,
secured extranet site. Immediate posting and automated change notification reduce
the likelihood of costly errors by keeping all team members up to date.
Projectmates’ functionality is fully customizable because it lets project managers
assign user-defined views,” Bhave says. “And it’s equally effective for small projects
as it is for large, long- term projects, because it’s scalable.”
Features include advanced search, document access tracking and storage on stable
servers with redundant backup systems. Project team members can store, view, and
mark-up more than 200 different file types. A job cam is available so that users
may view the project’s progress during the construction phase.
Projectmates’ functionality is also intuitive, so training is confined to a brief
onsite session for project managers, letting them quickly train their staffs. The
Systemates also offers an online bug report form and both telephone and online support
for project administrators. A free 60-day trial version is also available by registering
on www.Projectmates.com website.
“We’re excited to provide a focused, flexible solution that is customizable to our
customers’ needs,” says Bhave. “This means we can provide quick customer service
turnaround. Plus, with our secure servers, users can be confident that their mission-critical,
confidential documentation remains confidential.”
