Project information management at its best. Newforma allows us to manage our projects from opportunity, through Construction administration and archive, efficiently providing unparalleled access to information.

With Newforma we can find anything in seconds, which saves a lot of time and streamlines our worflow.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Newforma Project Center?

Searchability of EVERYTHING and that includes OCR of images and flattened documents. Archiving projects to send to clients is excellent as well, as it basically creates a self-contained intranet website for them to use that we can give to them on a flash drive or send to them via Info Exchange. Info Exchange is also a good tool, especially to send large files to someone (up to 2gb). The Consulant and Client connector is good, but there are some that find it difficult to use, especially if they aren't very tech savvy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Newforma Project Center?

The speed of doing daily tasks (filing e-mail, submittals, rfi's, etc.). It's not TERRIBLE, but it's not great either. The Newforma markup tools are not very good, but we use Bluebeam for markups, so we get around it that way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Newforma Project Center:

I like Newforma. Some of my users don't, but that would be the case regardless of what software we used. There are more products and competition in the market than there were when we started using it. That will factor into our decision making when we come up for renewal, particularly about what software the people we work with the most are using. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Newforma Project Center solving and how is that benefiting you?

The need for discovery has been tremendous. We were brought into a lawsuit (as was everyone else on the project, regardless of whether the issue was theirs or not) and the time it saved in finding information was substantial. Searching for information on project questions that have been completed for several years is also outstanding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Newforma Project Center?

It is very user-friendly and easy to access software for Client/Architect/Contractor regarding Project Drawings, Submittals, RFI's, etc Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Newforma Project Center?

Sometimes it doesn't update the reviews and comments made by A/E or the organizer; we need to refresh the page a couple of times to have the most up-to-date review. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Newforma Project Center solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use this software for architects and designers who handle submittals, RFI's, project files, addendums, change bulletins via Newforma. Designers seem to have a better grip on the paperwork on their end using Newforma. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Newforma Project Center?

Newforma project center fills several critical voids in the information systems of a typical engineering firm. From its ability to allow easy transfer of large document sets, to its way of effectively filing project emails in a manner that makes sense, Newforma Project Center is a one-stop source for aggregating and easily searching project data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Newforma Project Center?

For smaller firms, the cost can be prohibitive. The mobile apps seem difficult to set up and use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Newforma Project Center solving and how is that benefiting you?

As stated previously, with Project Center, we are able to send document sets to clients that would not normally be able to be sent via Email. Newforma makes it very easy to search for project data, and provides us a comprehensive, searchable list of our projects. The email filing functionality has been a game changer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Newforma Project Center?

Executing successful AEC projects is more than great design, tracking action items, emails, RFI, submittals, data exchanges. As architects we need an application that helps us well with everything else. Newforma has a been a consistent platform to help track all of the extra information generated as well as the design documents. I really like that it is custom to the AEC market and knows our companion applications and extends to mobile devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Newforma Project Center?

My only reservation had been the interface and less than modern feel to the UX, but that has been changing. Updated UX and dashboards have been included. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Newforma Project Center:

There are many trying to break into the space with modern ideas like AI and automating processes but have found too many issues about their actual working... NPC has been doing it well for many years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Newforma Project Center solving and how is that benefiting you?

Tracking all of the extra data generated on an AEC project, staff live in the email inbox and need to extract that data into a searchable, shareable repository for the benefit of the whole team and identify items that need action and not get lost in the piles of email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Henry Auger of Newforma
