Bricsnet releases enhanced Project Management solution

Online application offers new dashboard for project information and announcements, enhanced productivity tools and technology upgrades

SAN FRANCISCO - March 5, 2007: "Bricsnet, a leading provider of technology solutions for the real estate, architecture, engineering and construction industries, today announced the release of a new, enhanced version of its online project management and collaboration system, ProjectCenter.

"At Bricsnet, we are committed to investing in our customers and delivering value " and that means driving product innovation and superior customer service and support," said Farid Jinian, Bricsnet CEO. "The enhancements in ProjectCenter 5.3 are a direct result of user feedback and ever-changing market needs. Our customers around the world know and expect that Bricsnet will continually work to improve our solutions to more fully address their requirements for first-class project collaboration and management tools. They want solutions that are easy to use and provide results in the form of improved productivity and cost savings. And that's what ProjectCenter 5.3 delivers."

First launched in 1998, ProjectCenter is an online system featuring the industry's most intuitive design and simple workflow processes. It is used by thousands of companies around the world on projects of every size and scope. Clients simply access a web site and can usually begin using the system within hours of subscribing because there is no software to install and training requirements are easily handled in a phone call.

Enhancements in ProjectCenter 5.3 include:

  • New Project Dashboard "From one screen, users now have the ability to see all projects on which they are team members, all action items assigned to them and all new information uploaded to those projects. The new dashboard also provides an area in which administrators can post bulletins and other announcements.
  • New Project Splash Page " Once a client enters a specific project, a new splash page " similar in form to the dashboard " provides comprehensive information about that project on a single, easily navigated screen.
  • Viewing Technology Upgrade "The latest version of the Brava!® document viewing system from Informative Graphics is packaged with ProjectCenter 5.3. In addition to supporting new file formats, the new viewer version also allows users to create PDF and JPG files directly from documents being viewed. These files can then be saved or e-mailed to project participants directly from the system.
  • New Technology Infrastructure " Bricsnet has upgraded the technology in its data center to dramatically improve system performance and reliability for clients accessing the system via the Internet.

"I really like this project management tool and am very impressed with the most recent release," said Jennifer Gibson, a landscape designer with Architects West Inc. based in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, a client of Bricsnet ProjectCenter. "It is extremely user-friendly and looks great. Any new items that you need to access quickly are shown in the dashboard, and the new bulletin feature will be great for posting quick messages."
