Overview

Manage critical corporate content and business processes associated with the Projects (Build) and Operations documentation, thereby attaining compliance with industry regulations, a significant reduction in costs and a corresponding increase in operational efficiency.

Every aspect of the architectural, engineering and construction environment involves an increasing number of documents that must be captured, processed, stored / archived and managed. Star Storage solutions can assist contractors to efficiently manage these documents (regardless of source or format) and their associated business processes as well as gain additional efficiencies and cost savings through integration other applications / systems.

Since the 4^th of April, 2016 a legal addendum named BIM LEVEL 2 is introduced as a requirement for all government construction projects, defining what, when and how information should be created, shared and managed. Now it’s the responsibility of the contractors to demonstrate that they are Level 2 BIM-ready by detailing the processes and tools that will use to meet the project requirements and adhere to the new standards.

Every day activity require a huge volume of documentation is necessary in the Architectural, Engineering & Construction industry. In order to minimize any risks, companies need to reduce costs with paper based workflows, automate processes, ensure regulatory compliance, have access to data and documents anytime and everywhere connectivity exists (including mobile devices) to build, manage and maintain critical construction & engineering assets.

Trends
