Newforma Gains Momentum in the Construction Marketplace
Pioneering AEC Project Information Management Solution Validated by Building and Infrastructure Construction Firms
| Source: Newforma, Inc.
MANCHESTER, NH--(Marketwire - October 28, 2009) - Newforma®, a software company
addressing the project information management (PIM) needs of
architecture, engineering and construction firms, today announced that its
Newforma®
Project Center PIM solution is now being used by design-build firms,
general contractors, construction managers and large specialty
subcontractors. Customers include Grunley Construction, Optima, Skender
Construction, The Walsh Group, Tiffiny Decorating Co. and Haskell in the
United States, and Marshall Construction in the United Kingdom. These firms
join the growing ranks of 32,000 architects and engineers who are using
Newforma's solution to manage the information for more than 230,000
projects.
Haskell Construction Technology Application Manager Susan McDowell said
Newforma Project Center's integrated capabilities differentiate it from
other PIM solutions. "As a company with 30 years in the design-build
industry, Haskell's success is driven by our full team integration,"
McDowell said. "Newforma Project Center is unique in the software we
investigated because it meets the needs of both our design and construction
team members.
"We initially purchased Newforma to centrally manage project email,"
McDowell said, "and to transfer files externally with the Newforma Info
Exchange audit trail. However, we quickly discovered substantial benefits
in project documentation through using the solution for RFIs, document
markups and electronic submittal review and approval. We can now seamlessly
manage project information from question to answer, from office to field,
and from concept to execution -- all using a single tool that is
comfortable for the whole team. That's truly full integration in action."
Newforma Chief Executive Officer Ian Howell said construction firms'
adoption of Newforma Project Center validates the decision to focus
development efforts on streamlining project processes that flow between all
members of the project team. "Our existing construction customers have
invested in Newforma Project Center based upon ROI from current
functionality," Howell said, "but we're committed to expanding the
capabilities of our software to meet more of the specific needs of
construction firms. A good example is our partnership with Vico Software
to employ the agcXML schema to facilitate interoperability and data
exchange between our two products. Other enhancements that have now been
included on our product roadmap will provide even more compelling benefits
for design-build firms, general contractors, construction managers and
large specialty subcontractors."
