Systems Project Management Websites (SPMW) reduce cost (postage, handling,
storage, etc.), improves collaboration, tracking, archiving, and
documentation, while enhancing security.
Improved accessibility to project information.
Systems can post all project information online, making it accessible to
everyone on the team, regardless of location. With project data stored in
one location, team members can access the drawings, documents and
schedules they need rather than rely on the postal service.
Better collaboration through shared information. When
team members can view and mark up the latest versions of documents, it
reduces redundancy and increases collaboration. Using SPMW, Project
Managers will have the ability to access all information and share project
data with the designer as well as the contractor.
Better
records of all project activity. Project
teams can track requests
for information, change orders, approvals and track and archive up to the
minute changes and revisions.
Improved decision-making
capability. With valid
information, all members of the team can make decisions quicker with fewer
communication errors.
Since changes are automatically tracked and incorporated into
the project activities, decisions are made based on the most up to date
information.
Improved response time.
Sharing information and sending documents and drawings using an Internet
based tool can drastically reduce the time it takes for review and
approval and reduces the physical handling of mail.
Project Managers/Owners can review what
is happening onsite from the comfort of their offices,
drastically cutting down on travel time and expenses. At the same time,
better communications leads to better results on projects — on time and
within budget.
One of the biggest perks of the SPMW is that all
project activities are quickly documented and can be
accessed later over the Web. Companies no longer have to deal with piles
of paperwork; instead, the paperwork is filed on the Web. Any team member
with security clearance has access to the data.
