Document control system to reduce project delays

The C2Share Document Control system is based on Microsoft’s SharePoint 2007 software, which has been enhanced by SWORD. C2Share enables the project document controller to control the flow of documents between contractors and internal staff, and to effectively monitor the documents review, approval and sign-off process. This allows the project manager to see at a glance the status of project documentation and to spot bottlenecks and risk areas.

The risk of errors caused by the use of outdated versions of documents is eliminated as all users work from the same base of documentation, which is instantly available online, eliminating delays in retrieving and printing documents.

SWORD claims that information can be accessed remotely from multiple sites, eliminating the need to create physical or electronic copies of documentation and further reducing the risk of using outdated copies.

The company will be running a series of eight seminars across the UK showing how C2Share enhances Microsoft’s SharePoint 2007 to provide additional Document Management and Transmittal capabilities. The seminars will focus on how the product provides the extra functionality needed to control the complex information and information flows typically found within a project environment.
