A Boost for Collaboration
January 25, 2008
HITT Contracting Inc., www.hitt-gc.com, Washington, D.C., is getting some help with communication and collaboration through a new Document Locator collaboration solution for its intranet site.
The intranet site was developed by HITT Contracting and The Cram Group, www.thecramgroup.com, New York, N.Y., and the Document Locator solution is created by ColumbiaSoft Corp., www.documentlocator.com, Portland, Ore. Document Locator includes specialized capabilities for viewing and managing documents, CAD (computer-aided design) files, and communications.
According to The Cram Group, HITT Contracting was looking for a way to keep employees and partners updated on relevant issues for each project as well as facilitate collaboration with employees, partners, and clients located across the East Coast.
“Document Locator was clearly the best option for HITT Contracting. They needed a program that would be quick to deploy and easy for employees to learn,” says Wes Smith, president, The Cram Group. “Document Locator’s intuitive integration with Microsoft Windows, Office Outlook, and other applications made it the obvious choice.”
ColumbiaSoft’s Document Locator software is now the collaboration platform for HITT Contracting’s intranet site. The site allows more than 700 employees to communicate and stay current on projects through a secure and centralized information portal powered by Document Locator. Managers are able to post news, events, and documents, and employees can access the latest versions of each file in realtime.
