WHAT’S NEW
MANAGEMENT FOR DESIGN Summer 2017
The top 5 reasons your firm needs project information management 1. Overflowing emails While emails are a great tool they are also a large burden on your time. How do you keep hundreds of emails about dozens of projects straight? Which ones need a response? Which ones go in what files? Is your productivity tool interfering with your project success? 20–30% of the business day is spent on email related activity — that’s 2–3 hours per day. Firms with project management systems spend minutes, not hours, on their emails each day. 2. Knowing where your project files are Do you store your project drawings, correspondence files, submittals etc. in multiple locations? Are your files still stored physically and electronically for the same project? Is time being wasted working on an outdated version? Do you place as much priority on managing project files as you do project deadlines?
