"Project C is a real-time project collaboration program connecting people and teams with information," said Paul Carastro, president, Carastro & Associates, Inc. "We use Project C to help our clients manage and safe guard their facility documents. Many of our clients have mission critical operations and keeping their facility documents up to date is extremely important. With Project C they always have up the latest drawings, specs, reports, etc. right at their fingertips. And because the information is secure and easily accessible, we all save time and money.”

Utilizing Project C, project managers can track the status of a project based on individual team members and deliver valuable insight into multiple building projects. It also addresses the specific needs of building owners to help reduce cycle times and errors, and increase team accountability and control. For users, Project C delivers immediate end-user and team collaboration benefits by providing an integrated set of tools including document check-in and check-out, discussions, lists, surveys, tasks and event calendars. By having these capabilities along with the ability to view team-member status and availability, workers can become highly productive. Project C is also tightly integrated with Office applications and users can set up a meeting on an Outlook calendar, invite guests out of Active Directory, and then quickly create a "team space."

“For facility managers, the most difficult aspect of managing multiple projects is tracking the status of dozens of tasks and issues that must be dealt with every day,” said Bryan Hackman, network administrator, The Project C Group. “The on demand real-time availability helps ensure that every team member knows exactly what they are responsible for at any given moment during the entire project lifecycle and the workflow capabilities are a benefit for owners and managers who supervise multiple facilities.”

Project C delivers a greater return on investment throughout the lifecycle of a building by enhancing project visibility and control, promoting precise communication and more efficient project management, regardless of location or time zone by advancing collaboration within geographically dispersed design and build teams.

For instance, a design professional in Los Angeles can get an overview of all meeting minutes, facility managers at headquarters can access blueprints for multiple building projects, and construction managers at the project site can get a report of information requests and determine whether or not requests have been resolved.

The Project C Group, based in Tampa, Florida, helps customers in the building, facility management, architecture, and engineering fields improve efficiencies across their entire project lifecycle management processes. For a product demonstration, visit www.ProjectCGroup.com.
