| Source: Newforma
MANCHESTER, NH and SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - July 23, 2009) - Newforma®, a software company
addressing the project information management (PIM) needs of architects,
engineers and construction firms, and Knowledge Architecture, an information systems and
management consultancy to architecture and engineering firms, today
announced that Knowledge Architecture has joined the Newforma Authorized
Partner(SM) program. As a Newforma Authorized Partner, Knowledge
Architecture will provide professional services to integrate the project
information management functions of Newforma®
Project Center software with other leading industry applications such
as Deltek® Vision®, with AEC digital asset management solutions, and
with portals built on the Microsoft® SharePoint® Server and SQL
Server® Reporting Services platforms.
"We have long advocated that Newforma Project Center be a critical part of
the strategic information architecture for AEC firms," said Knowledge
Architecture Founder Christopher Parsons. "Newforma Project Center captures
design and firm knowledge simply through the course of architects,
engineers and project managers conducting their daily project work.
Knowledge Architecture has the industry experience and technical expertise
to integrate project information created and captured in Newforma Project
Center with related information stored in other leading industry systems.
The resulting synthesis enables new strategic insights and transforms
business processes. Our subscription model for shared development allows
our customers to realize these benefits in a rapid and cost effective
manner."
In welcoming Knowledge Architecture as the newest member of the growing
Newforma ecosystem, Newforma Chief Executive Officer Ian Howell
acknowledges that Knowledge Architecture has a proven track record of
implementing successful project information management strategies for
existing customers. "Knowledge Architecture has demonstrated how to
integrate project information managed by Newforma Project Center with
corporate intranets, digital asset management software and back office
enterprise financial and reporting systems. By leveraging data
traditionally held separately inside these complementary technologies,
Knowledge Architecture maximizes the predictability of project delivery and
improves the decision making ability of AEC firms," Howell said. "Our
Newforma Project Center solution is already a key enabler in achieving the
integrated project delivery, or IPD, goals of many of our customers. When
combined with the integration expertise offered by Knowledge Architecture,
both project delivery and business process information can be aggregated
and presented in new ways to support critical decisions."
