CTSpace delivers web-based on-demand project management systems and collaboration capabilities for complex, large-scale, enterprise wide projects, often involving multiple teams from within the organisation as well as external partners and suppliers.  The secure, online workspace enables team members from multiple organisations to share and collaborate on documents regardless of location or time zones.

Managing data such as drawings, correspondance, specifications, contracts and facilities maintenance documentation is critical to the success of any modern construction project.  This must be managed consistently across all of the phases of the full asset lifecycle.  Success depends on controlling and sharing the correct versions of content through the correct processes with the appropriate partners throughout scoping, tendering, design, construction, handover, operation and maintenance, and decommissioning.  This includes both those involved in the construction and the asset owners themselves.

The design and construction phase is when the greatest capital expenditure occurs with the largest number of participating organisations and the most significant changes.  Effective content management is critical to ensure efficiency, where time is key due to contractors facing increased build complexity, greater collaboration and punitive penalty clauses.  Owner Operators are also under pressure to extract greater value from assets whilst reducing operational and capital expenditure.  This must be done not only during the construction phase but also whilst assets undergo periodic renovation or are reconfigured, extended or decommissioned.

CTSpace's project management systems include:

• A secure, central document repository workspace


• Version control with easy access to current and previous versions of documents


• Customisable document numbering to allocate a unique reference number for individual documents


• Document categorisation to allow documents to be allocated to specific categories, with a unique meta-data and numbering system


• Document registration to create a placeholder for documents which have yet to be uploaded to the system


• Easy-to-use functionality for adding new users


• User profile management to determine which individuals or groups can read or update files


• An integrated viewer enabling users to view and mark-up documents in over 250 file formats without the requirement for the native applications


• A full audit function to track and report on all activity


• A complete search function with the ability to store searches for future use
