 | The critical point of document control |  | Architecture, engineering and construction customers know the value of their technical knowledge. The closely focus on cost control and efficiency in their primary processes, while searching for ways to innovate and increase development of new projects.
Océ has the services, the software and the hardware to help these customers achieve the increase in development they are looking for. Also the proof: "The Océ solution has allowed us to effectively discount the copying logistics as a determining factor as to whether we accept the invitation to tender." |

Project control
|
|  |
Projects are being managed on quality, budgets and time. In many architecture and engineering projects the pressure on time is increasing because of concurrent processes and increased competition. Many people in the industry experience document distribution in a project time consuming in generating tenders. The tenders can include hundreds of plans, specifications and cost sheets. |

Managing new forms of collaboration |
|  |
In the architecture, engineering and construction market the traditional tendering process of clear project stages is changing to the design-build concept: Architect, constructor and main contractor often start working together as a team in the early stages of a project. Governmental authorities who also regulate the building process during the project also play an important role. The key advantage with this new form of collaboration is that construction and design can take place concurrently. Web technologies and portals are facilitating this trend. Documents still play an important role but in a different context. |

Reduction of failure costs |
|  |
The AEC industry is still strongly paper oriented. As documents are electronically created there is still the need to convert this information on to paper and back again to the electronic format when required. Making sure that the right document is used in the right place can prevent costly failures and liability issues. |

Smart investments in new technologies |
|  |
Architecture, engineering and construction companies have one thing in common and that is that they are down to earth! What also characterises them is that they all work with small margins, in particular, the main contractor. Although many realise new technologies can contribute to cost reductions, faster project turnaround time and a higher level of innovation, new investments in ICT are always very carefully considered. |
