Information management is perhaps one of the biggest challenges facing AutoCAD users—their work is so necessarily collaborative. With the introduction of ProjectWise StartPoint, small teams of AutoCAD and MicroStation users can begin to collaborate more effectively in a controlled environment.
Microsoft SharePoint products and technologies provide all users with:
- File access control using check-in/check-out functions
- Version control
- Fast finding through powerful search features
- Access control with folder level security
- Calendars and threaded discussions
- Simple project Web site and user-level customization
ProjectWise StartPoint extends existing SharePoint products and technologies for AutoCAD users by:
