Online Collaborating Dream

Vetted Review
Verified User
Newforma Project Center has been a great tool for online collaborating with the engineers and architects within my company. It has virtually eliminated the need for us all to travel to one location to discuss certain line items within each project. It allows all of us to access RFI's for projects while it also tracks everything we do.
- Allows for online collaborating specific projects
- Keeps track of emails and RFI's engineer and architect needs, quick and easy access to
- I have found it difficult to locate audits.
- Some users have issues while uploading project data.

Newforma for construction administration
Newforma has been instrumental in the construction administration phase for architectural projects in all of the firms I have worked for both nationally and internationally. It is a primary tool for our construction administration team during the construction of a project and assists in contractor-architect communications including RFI's and submittals. With Newforma, there is a clear line of communication that allows us, as the architect, to communicate our design intent clearly and review any shop drawings that may deviate from the original design intent. It is also a great tool for project management in terms of filing and keeping track of model transmissions.
- Construction administration.
- Document filing.
- File downloads.
- User-interface.

- Faster construction timelines.
- Tracking of information.
I do not know of any competitive products with Newforma. I believe they have cornered the market with this.
Newforma is our preferred file transfer platform for both incoming and outgoing documents. It provides internal access to project records for teams and users that are specific to projects. It also provides an industry-standard platform that colleagues from other firms use to transfer files and information seamlessly with access management per project and per team.
- Archiving of project-related communications of all in the tam
- Searchable database of communication with many filters at great speed
- File transfer tracking for incoming, outgoing, and receipt (download record)
- Integration with Outlook and 3rd party graphics managers
- Automatic organization of files types and content in the server directory
- The initial file structure of shared directories needs to be set-up with a specific naming convention and order. Consistency is key to maximize the organizational capabilities of Newforma
- There are many capabilities in the application that go unused due to a lack of training materials
- Integration with Outlook is good but requires training across the organization for all users to consistently use it

- Newforma makes it easy to transfer, share, archive, and search extensive data sets in a single GUI
- For it to be effective, all users in a team must receive a basic training and use it consistently
- Adoption in the industry is good (A/E); many teams use it consistently. Learning to use it once produces time-saving in subsequent projects
- Google Drive, Dropbox and Box
Newforma provides many tools for organizing and archiving project information of various formats. Its ability to search communications is often used by our team. The desktop application is great for internal organization and the web interface provides the basic tools for collaboration and project management between teams of collaborating organizations. This is beneficial to the A/E and construction industries for document control.

Newforma Project Center
Newforma is being used by employees across our entire organization. It has simplified our our data management, RFIs and submittal process, and large file transfer process. Newforma makes filing emails to specific projects a breeze with their Outlook add-in, and searching for those emails in the future will only take seconds of your time.
- Newforma sits on top of our previous filing system (Windows Explorer). This was very important to us because we didn't have to change the project numbering system in order to fit Newforma's design. Also, if we were to decide we didn't like it, we could easily revert back to our previous methods.
- Newforma does a great job of indexing information, making searches much easier by being able to use keywords instead of knowing the exact file location. No more traversing through countless folders before finding what you need.
- Newforma keeps a read receipt for everything that you submit through it for issue tracking, and keeps an easy to read record of your workflow.
- If a document has two different size papers within the document (say a blueprint is included on an 11"x17" paper), Newforma will not print through the application.

- Saved countless hours archiving emails and other data.
- Reduced paper filing by going more digital.
- Our employees now have an easy to use search tool to find the data they need.
We spent a lot of time researching what type of data management software we wanted to use. We are a smaller business and Newforma gave us everything we needed, and integrates well with Outlook. We already have a software in place that keeps up with our finances and time sheets, so Procore was overkill.

A decent EMS for your business
It's easy to manage and integrate with the current user practices and key applications. Users can easily file when in the office or out and about and sharing of information that is too large to email is done via a transmittal that is simple to setup and easy to track. Although it lacks some of the broader project management features and requires work/investment to integrate with other tools that may put some novices off.
- Simple email filing
- Transmital process allows sending out large files and tracking downloads
- Single pane view of your projects
- This was primarily an email archiving solution, but we're pushing forward with trying to integrate it with more of our business solutions to make it part of a suite of packages.
