Organice fosters consistency & accuracy in collaborative documents

Wednesday, 5 August 2009

When you are active in the “Operate” spectrum of the construction and engineering profession, you will think about the “Objects” you are entrusted with. Logically you will want to organize your information according to an “object-breakdown-structure”.

Today many of the actual maintenance, repair and refurbishment activities are outsourced to third-parties, who typically think in terms of a project breakdown structure. Collaboration with your contractors becomes essential.

One of the bigger challenges here is to keep track of who received `what`, `when` and `why.`Typical issues that project managers and document controllers are concerned with are:
- Did we distribute all the necessary information using the right versions of these documents?
- Was the documentation received in good order, by all stakeholders involved?
- Are we on track to meet our milestones?

If you do not provide a well structured environment that caters for a formalised exchange of documentation, you may risk facing a chaotic mix of varying different versions of both, digital and physical documents, all related to the same project. Such chaos can easily result in mistakes, some with detrimental consequences, leading to costly and damaging disputes, litigation, etc.

With over 20 years of experience in data and document management for project driven engineering companies, Organice has developed a solution for central and digital document management entirely based on SharePoint, Microsoft’s leading platform for collaboration and content management.

To foster consistency and accuracy in the human interface, Organice was designed to follow the interface paradigms of leading application like Microsoft’s Office and Outlook, resulting in a very intuitive application that is quickly accepted by the end users. Moreover Organice is fully integrated with MS Office, Outlook and leading CAD applications. As a result your staff can open or update content directly from within their preferred application.

In conclusion, Owner Operators as well as Project driven organizations in the Design and Build sections of the ecosystem should consider managing their documentation with a solution that caters for dynamic scenarios where information needs to be regularly consulted and revised in collaboration with external parties.
