ONSTRUCTION AND FACILITY MANAGEMEN
The need to share information is increasing
Whether you are working with new construction, renovation of
buildings or work as a subcontractor with support functions,
you are without a doubt aware of the need to document all
the processes and be able to easily retrieve archived
information.
Without an effective asset management solution, your project
teammates could easily end up doing double work – taking
duplicate pictures and documenting processes that have
already been handled by someone else.
Why is DAM (Digital Asset Management)
important for you:
• A common entry point for all people
involved in the project
• Easy access to all shared assets –
pictures, documents and project plans
• Powerful management to allow users
to contribute and share assets
• Quick and easy uploading of new files
from a client to the project archive
• GPS positioning information and historical
records on the images
• Project staff can easily re-use archived material, e.g.
through the Microsoft Office plugins
Upload an image from your iPhone
to a central server on-the-fly
Need to share a picture quickly? Take
a picture using your iPhone and add
metadata (search words) when uploading. The GPS position is automatically
set. Choose the archive to upload to and
that’s it. The image is available in the
archive in seconds. This way, you can instantly monitor the progress of your projects and make the information available
to your clients.
Different users may have different requirements when it comes to metadata
or search criteria. Also, in one company
there can be a wide range of departments that require access to different
parts of the archived media. FotoWare
solutions are extremely scalable in this
respect, and there are many different
ways to export and import information.
Most actions can be automated to help
make sure that material is stored in the
right place and made available to the
right people. The use of uniform tools
secures that relevant information is
stored with the files in the archive. This
is important to be able to track where
the files originate and who they were intended for.
Everyone in the department can immediately use the uploaded files, for
example in a project presentation.
Special plugins for Microsoft Office let
you search your projects directly and
drop in pictures and video clips that you
would like to use. You can also crop and
rotate pictures on the fly when inserting
them in the presentation.
The time when you needed to burn a CD,
send it in the mail or with courier service is over. FotoWeb makes the archive
available for all users as an intranet or
extranet solution. The archive is available for departments in-house or abroad,
depending on the access privileges that
have been set. Also, you can share collections of files with clients that do not
have direct access to your archives. Just
add your selection to a FotoWeb album
and send it by email to your client.
Up to 30% of an employee’s time
is spent searching for or re-inputting data that is already located
within the enterprise

The FotoWeb site is easy to customize,
for example to implement your own company logo and corporate color scheme,
and it’s also possible to change the site’s
appearance completely.
