A project web may be characterised as a "one-for-all" information exchange. That is to say, this system gives project participants a straightforward and rapid means of distributing their work to team members by transferring digital information to the project web.

Use of the system enables a significant reduction in heavy document flows, since the various types of documents are stored digitally on an Internet server. Project participants can upload or download drawings, specifications, minutes of meetings and more to/from ProjectWEB, as and when required.

The real benefit of using ProjectWEB is that it facilitates communication between team members, while requiring only Internet access and an Internet browser for users to obtain the latest revisions to the various project data. This applies no matter where team members are physically located .

How ProjectWEB works
ProjectWEB is based on the Internet, it uses the Internet as the connection between the user's PC and a central Internet server, where all access to documents is controlled by Logon, requiring input of the company ID, user ID and password. This is an element of the security essential to this type of system.

As the basic, all parties to the project will have access to view, print and download all documents on ProjectWEB. Users can view the content of documents directly using their own applications, and can download documents from ProjectWEB to their own network or PC.

ProjectWEB integrates with the advanced AutoVue viewing software from Oracle. AutoVue can display, print or plot several hundred different file formats, including files from Microsoft Office, Microsoft Project, AutoCAD and MicroStation along with various scanning formats. The viewer also features facilities for redlining, compare and collaboration.

The system includes an effective Log function, providing a full historical record of every single document uploaded to ProjectWEB. For example, by whom and when a given drawing was printed/plotted, and by whom and when a given revision was deleted/moved or updated and so forth.

The ProjectWEB interface is similar to Microsoft's Windows Explorer, which means that all Microsoft Windows users will be capable of using ProjectWEB immediately.

The potential uses for ProjectWEB are numerous. From serving in small-scale projects exclusively as a central document repository, to use as a project management support system in large-scale construction projects.

The Ramboll ProjectWEB can be employed in all building and construction projects, from design to delivery, but can also be used by the client during the subsequent operational phase. Use of The Ramboll ProjectWEB from start to end in your project, results in compilation of a complete project database which can be transferred to the client immediately upon completion.
