Document Control (DCNext™)
Workflows That Bring Teams TogetherDCNext™ – The Next Generation of Document Control
ProjectReady’s commitment to connected collaboration across project teams is the fuel that drives DCNext™, an innovative, retail-centric document control solution. With DCNext, essential document control functions and responsibilities are as easy as filling out a guided form and adding the content you need from connected systems to our easy-to-use Content Cart.
Easily register content to the project from Autodesk Construction Cloud solutions like Autodesk Build (formerly BIM 360) and PlanGrid; Procore; Microsoft 365 solutions like SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, and Microsoft Outlook; Box, and others. Route documents around for review and approval. Submit, track, and monitor RFIs, Change Orders, Submittals, and Transmittals. And collaborate on project information in real-time with M365 and Bluebeam Studio integrations.
How We Improved Document Control For The AEC
Sync
Real time synchronization of content across SharePoint, Autodesk and Procore.
An easy-to-use wizard guides you through the mapping process, which allows folders, documents, and data to instantly flow across the content management systems your team depends on to store project information. Content sync ensures that everybody is always working from the most recent version of a document at any given time.
With ProjectReady, you can easily map folders and files across the Autodesk Construction Cloud, including Autodesk Build (formerly BIM 360) and PlanGrid; Procore, SharePoint, and Microsoft Teams.
- Eliminate duplicate data entry
- Improve productivity
- Reduce risk of keying errors
- Ensure that the right people have access to the right (most current) information
Sync Across Multiple Autodesk & Procore Tenants
Need to sync content from a vendor’s Procore or Autodesk instance to yours – or vice versa? Do you have multiple teams on the project running their own Procore tenants? Or do you need to move content from one SharePoint library to another?
With the release of ProjectReady’s Program Management, we are empowering teams to make connections that have never before been possible.
WorkBridge
Connect workflows such as RFI’s and Submittals between multiple Procore accounts and RFIs from Procore to ACC
Automatically update content and workflow information between the two systems, eliminating duplicate entry and allowing team members to work in the system they prefer.
- Eliminates duplicate data entry
- Ensures all team members are working with consistent information
- Promotes improved collaboration on a single project
- Provides users a consistent workspace
