ProjectWise® and Microsoft® Office SharePoint® Server
Software for Connecting People and Information across Project Teams
Enabling innovation – connecting resources
In a global economy short on skills and long on innovation, architectural, engineering, and
construction (AEC) project teams are rapidly adopting ProjectWise and Microsoft Office
SharePoint Server to help streamline collaboration by:
• Propelling the AEC and operations sectors to the next level of innovation and change
management, via knowledge-based design processes
• Providing integrated enterprise-scale capabilities to meet business-critical needs for:
• Effectively managing content and business processes
• Enabling better-informed business decisions through dynamic design review
• Finding the right information - in real-time - regardless of where it is located
• Simplifying how people work together across boundaries
• Empowering distributed project teams by:
• Maximizing employee utilization, increasing revenues and reducing redundancy
• Shortening time-to-market by streamlining content access and collaboration
• Reducing project rework, and avoiding late-delivery penalties
Solution Overview
ProjectWise software connects people and information across project teams—no matter
where they are located—and includes an integrated suite of desktop and server software
for content management, content publishing and design review—to uniquely address the
project needs of all connected stakeholders. ProjectWise is the only engineering project
collaboration system to provide a choice of OnLine or OnPremise access and deployment
options to ensure the right fit for teams of all shapes and sizes.

Flexible access and deployment options for teams of all shapes and sizes
A powerful joint solution founded on open standards
• All ProjectWise server technologies reside on the Microsoft Windows Server® platform
• Seamless integration with MicroStation® and AutoCAD®
• ProjectWise Web Server™ uses Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS)
• ProjectWise Integration Server™ uses the Microsoft SQL Server™ database
• ProjectWise desktop applications integrate seamlessly with Microsoft Office applications
• Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 delivers benefits in end user experience, performance
and productivity
Key Benefits: Gain maximum ROI for your ProjectWise and SharePoint investment:
• Save time finding, validating and accessing project information
• Reduce project risk with a single source of truth for all project information
• Improve quality and consistency of all project deliverables
• Avoid late-delivery penalties, reduce last-minute rework, meet project deadlines
• Maximize workforce utilization and share work across multiple offices
Solution Summary
Challenge: Increase team efficiency by overcoming common obstacles associated with
having multiple disconnected systems for business, process, project accounting, and
engineering information management.
Solution: Get connected. Through a SharePoint portal, teams benefit from enterprisewide capabilities for centralizing access to information from many sources. When
SharePoint is integrated with ProjectWise, project teams benefit from additional
capabilities specific to engineering content management, content publishing and design
review.
Results: ProjectWise users report average annual employee savings of 13 percent and
many observe a ProjectWise return on investment between 10- and 40- times the cost to
deploy. With results like these, it’s no surprise that 42 of the 50 leading organizations in
the Engineering News Record Top 500 are now Connected by ProjectWiseSM.
