Improving Collaboration

Put design at the centre of the solution!

The intensity and significance of Design Change Management requirements are most pronounced at the initial concept and outline design phase of a project.

Numerous iterations occur before designs can be viewed as final and complete. Large volumes of information will be created, expressed in drawings, e-mails, product and project information.

Typical characteristics of a Design Change Management software solution include:

• Secure vaults
• Search engine with powerful retrieval capabilities
• CAD and associated reference file management
• Versioning and revision history
• Predefined automated workflow templates
• Drawing & document metadata
• Security, including controlled access
• Audit history

Design Change Management puts design at the centre of the solution. This focus enables organisations to better manage all outgoing and incoming documents, drawings and data that define a design, change requests, project information and contractual information. Efficiencies are gained through the controlled and automated dissemination of design information to all parties, internal or external.
