Simplify your Design Practice
STREAMLINE YOUR WORKFLOW
GET MORE VALUE OUT OF WORK PERFORMED
Project Ally reuses and repurposes data for the next phase of your project… by breaking down pieces of a typical document or process into intelligent, unseen data-tables and individual fields… allowing flexible use of the same keystrokes going forward in the project.
MINIMIZE UNNECESSARY REPETITION
For example, stop retyping the same project information on document after document. Use Project Ally templates to jump-start your correspondence (especially great for firms just going into business) and make universal changes quickly and accurately.
AUTOMATICALLY POPULATE PREVIOUSLY UNCONNECTED PARTS OF THE PROCESS
For example, phases from fee proposals and timesheet data automatically populate your project schedule quickly and accurately. Another example, a project’s "Staff Involved" data populates the searchable database of project experience used for job development staff resumes.
WORK SMARTER
GET YOUR TEAM ALL “ON THE SAME PAGE"
Keep your team informed with budget and project progress data including automatically generated Performance-to-Date, Work Remaining and Profit Performance data-tables and graphs.
REDUCE UNNECESSARY INTERRUPTIONS AMONG CO-WORKERS
For example, now your team knows where to look for that rep’s phone number or how to spell the client’s last name because contact information is entered in one place and shared among all users.
INCREASE CONSISTENCY AND ACCURACY
For example, now the project name is written the same way on every document, every time (because it populates from one data field). And project cost and schedule data are accurate because, again, the data comes from one location instead of retyped across many documents which formerly would leave one wondering which document is correct.
PROMOTE COLLABORATION
HARNESS CURRENT PROJECT INFORMATION FOR FUTURE JOB DEVELOPMENT
No more hunting through old proposals and project files to assemble a response to a request for proposals. Project Ally provides one place for the data to reside so users know where to put it when it is top-of-mind and, therefore, others can easily find it, both now and later.
SEE TEAM’S PROGRESS EASILY
For example, quickly browse construction administration correspondence and submittals and review & print the logs that are created automatically.
ACCESS PROJECT ALLY REMOTELY
If you choose to host Project Ally on a server, staff can access Project Ally on a variety of devices both when in and out of the office. For example, utilize the Staff In/Out Log for keeping track of who is working at the office and who is working from home today.
RETAIN & SECURE YOUR DATA
RETAIN MORE INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE
Your project data... get it out of employees brains and into a format where everyone else can use some of each other's knowledge and experience too. Systematically organized data is more usable data.
MANAGE ACCESS EASILY
Project Ally provides individual passwords and 10 different access types.
CREATE MULTIPLE DATA BACK-UP TYPES
If you choose to host Project Ally on a server, easily create automatic back-up schedules, both on-site and off-site: progressive, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, annually… you decide.
