Basic Design

The construction process begins with a need and an assessment of feasibility. Once a project gets past the feasibility stage, the collaborative process of initial design begins and more resources are added to the project. The basic design stage includes collaborative processes such as value engineering, design reviews, and engineering change management. These processes continue throughout the remainder of the project lifecycle.

Open Text helps manage the content derived from the collaborative processes of basic design with Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solutions. Companies can avoid delaying projects and increasing costs by properly managing design changes and creating a collaborative team environment.

ECM solutions for Basic Design from Open Text deliver this functionality with the following components:

• Software: Document Management & Collaboration, Livelink ECM - CADManager for AutoCAD, Livelink ECM - CADManager for Microstation, Livelink ECM - Construction Management,

Supplemented by Business Content (e.g., predefined workflows) to give you a head-start in configuring workstreams and processes, Consulting Services, Training and Support tailored to meet your requirements.
