Expanding its market dominance in the areas of
construction portals and the ASP market, Informative Graphics® proudly announces
the integration of its Brava!™ Java-based view, markup and collaboration solution
with Bricsnet’s ProjectCenter 3.0 building industry extranet solution
Customers, suppliers and partners using Bricsnet ProjectCenter may now view and markup drawings and documents by using standard Web browsers, such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. There is no additional software to install, providing a true zero-admin browser served solution.
ProjectCenter is the leading web-based collaboration for the global construction industry. Available at Bricsnet.com, ProjectCenter enables building professionals to communicate, manage documents and manage workflow. It allows users to get projects up and running quickly without investing in additional hardware or software.
By integrating Brava!, Bricsnet ProjectCenter will now enable owners, architects, engineers, general contractors and sub-contractors to view and add comments to project-related documents and drawings using any standard Web browsers. Documents and drawings will be stored on Bricsnet’s central server and delivered to user desktops in a small Java applet. Delivered on an ASP model, Bricsnet ProjectCenter eliminates software installations and desktop file transfers, ensuring desktop simplification and protecting intellectual property. Registered users will redline documents and save alterations to Bricsnet’s server over the Web, making them available to other registered project members for review and comment.
The integration permits design or documentation changes in the form of Brava! redline overlays to be associated and managed over the Web. In addition, metadata information is retrievable through the integration to build customized watermarks and banners for document status information. Since Brava! does not transfer the actual file to the client for display, the combined solution creates a secure and trustworthy solution for supply and project collaboration activity over the Web.
“Bricsnet is a major player in the global construction collaboration market,” said Gary Heath, Informative Graphics CEO and President. “Bricsnet’s selection of Brava!, based on the product’s features and functionality, as well as Informative Graphics’ presence in the AEC market, we believe, validates our model and serves as a powerful indicator of even greater opportunities to come.”
“We’re continually striving to give builders worldwide the tools they need to work better and faster. As we release ProjectCenter 3.0, the Brava! viewing and markup solution helps us accomplish our goal,” said Bricsnet vice president William Tucker. “The incorporation of Brava! means ProjectCenter users will now be able to view and redline CAD drawings without needing to have any CAD application or installing additional software.”
