Organisations are spending an increasing amount of time managing the issue and distribution process. As a result, trained design professionals are spending more and more time administering a system rather than fulfilling the creative (and revenue generating) elements of their role.

 

As the collaborative nature of projects develops within the AEC market, it demands more detailed and complex processes to manage the sharing information throughout the project team.  Maintaining these records and performing these tasks is both time consuming and prone to human error. The effect of distributing the wrong revision can be catastrophic and result in costly mistakes, delays on the project and perhaps even missed deadlines. 

 

Océ Design2Distribtution is a web based application that will streamline and automate the whole process for the Distribution and Issue Management of Technical Information.  It enables the users to automatically issue required information to the desired recipients at the click of a mouse.  Even the most complicated issue requirement can be completed very simply and quickly taking only a few minutes.

 

In addition, Océ Design2Distribution records who received each document and records document information such as drawing number and revision. Document distribution provides an additional level of service above simple printing.  When a document is distributed, the users specify to whom the documents should be sent to and how. Depending how the user has configured the project, documents can be distributed directly from the user’s desktop without being permanently stored, or they can be stored in the Océ Design2Distribution document vault.

 

Océ Design2Distribution enables organisations to get the right information in the right place and at the right time; with the minimum of effort!  This is essential as mistakes are costly not only in terms of money, but also time and reputation.

 

Companies that have implemented our Issue Management solutions are already enjoying huge operational gains; these include time savings ranging between 50%-80% as well as increased staff productivity, improved accuracy of document tracking, reduced rework costs as well as reductions in print costs.
