Part 12 of Newforma’s webinar series on how project information management (PIM) software contributes to a more integrated practice

If you shudder to think how much time you’ve spent in the past week reading email or looking for a key project-related message, the problem is about to get a whole lot worse. Integrated project delivery promises to generate more email as it raises the amount of discussion that takes place in the course of a project. To help you manage, we’ve updated one of our most popular webinars.
Join us to explore how software for project information management helps you manage the flow of email messages, capture decision trails and assure the integrity of project records.

 
• Explore how email’s origins as an informal, individual means of communication actually make it ill-suited to serve the needs of a project team.
 
• See why today’s paradigm for email management fails to support integrated project delivery.
 
• Discover how a process approach to managing project email can enhance communication for the internal and external project team.
 
• See how firms like yours are tackling out-of-control email to mitigate risk and improve integration among team members.

There is no charge to attend this webinar.

About our webinar series, "Project information management (PIM) for integrated project delivery (IPD)"

BIM technology is a well-acknowledged pillar of integrated practice for coordinating and documenting the building design. But what about all the unstructured project communications and adjunct decision-making processes that surround the model as it evolves over the duration of the project?

PIM technology is the complementary solution to BIM. It manages the information and communications around the model. It supports collaboration, accountability and trust - both inside the firm and between external team members.

"Facilitating e-discovery" draws upon our experience helping customers manage information and communications for over hundreds of thousands of projects. It was held Friday, October 30, 2009.
