RFI/Transmittal Management

You need to be able to manage all engineering content such as drawings, specifications, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and maintenance manuals – throughout the lifecycle from design and construction through to operations and maintenance.

A vital aspect of your documents is management of transmittals – the list of document numbers and corresponding rev numbers. An electronic transmittal will include the revision (rev) number as an attachment, and it includes the reason for the transmittal, the size, medium and delivery method of the engineering drawings, the requested response date and a request for acknowledgement.

Ensuring the latest revision of every drawing is critical when you’re communicating with disperse and various members of the engineering and construction team. An ECM system serves this well, with the built-in feature of version control within the document management solution.

Open Text helps you address these challenges with ECM solutions for transmittal/correspondence management that support the engineering process by providing a single point of control to manage the production and use of project content; including drawings, correspondence, procedures and specifications.

Open Text helps you address these challenges with the following ECM software for RFI/Transmittal Management:

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

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.
