Newforma Presents Case Studies of E-Submittals Management at Coming Industry Events

MANCHESTER, NH--(Marketwire - October 23, 2008) - Newforma®, Inc., a software company addressing the project information management (PIM) needs of the design and building industry, today announced opportunities to learn about the benefits of electronic submittals management at two fall events: the American Institute of Architects California Council (AIACC) 2008 California Practice Conference, and Build Boston. Submittals management is one of the most time- and labor-intensive areas of contract administration. These presentations show how redundancies and energy-wasting steps can be eliminated using PIM software to manage the process.

At the AIACC 2008 California Practice Conference, Newforma Chief Data Architect Jim Forester, P.E., presents "The Benefits of Adopting an Electronic Submittal Process." The session, taking place on November 14, describes how busy architecture firms use digital submittals management to slash management time and streamline work processes. Forester notes the steps of the submittals management process that can be deleted through digital automation and the savings that result as measured in billable hours, paper and headaches.
