BETTER DATA, DEEPER LEARNING

Improved document controls help minimize rework by ensuring project alignment and speeding approvals, but there’s an additional benefit that extends beyond any single project. Document control in the modern era is an integrated process. Construction projects generate an immense amount of data beyond just documents. By taking document control to the next level, teams can apply the learnings, efficiencies, and opportunities discovered in one project into other, similar projects down the line.

At its core, the next generation of document control expands how organizations think about their project artifacts. Instead of treating each piece as a single deliverable, isolated to a specific task at a distinct point in time, document control transforms static assets into an interconnected network of relationship data that can help organizations better understand their customers, their work, and themselves. The consolidation of document data from one project to the next can help organizations identify instances where rework is more likely to occur and address those shortcomings before they’re ever an issue.
