KPN Reforms Design Review with eReview-FileNet
From concept to completion, every activity in a project demands very frequent interactions between the participating teams of workers. Having project teams scattered throughout the globe, effective day-to-day collaboration and communication between designers, developers, consultants, managers and other participating team members was the core requirement that KPN wanted to satisfy .Development and design review processes that are inevitably associated with any project lifecycle would naturally involve a host of project-related documents spanning a variety of file formats, ranging from AutoCad, MicroStation, Scanned Images, PDF, Excel Spreadsheets and a host of other file types. KPN needed a solution that would let members of different functional units of a project team, inspite of being dispersed physically, communicate and collaborate on projectrelated documents and records, redline them in course of the approval and review procedures and store and retrieve these markups later on with a history of the markup revisions.
The mission was to eliminate the time and cost constraints that would typically be associated in supporting design review and approval procedures through their distributed team structures. But at the same time, given the fact that more often than not, these documents had stringent access protection guidelines, quick and easy access to relevant documents had to be accomplished without overriding the need to ensure document sanctity.
