If you use Prolog® or PlanWell Enterprise® to manage your projects, you’re definitely going to be interested in what follows.

Introduced last month, PlanWell DataBridge automates the exchange of construction information between PlanWell Enterprise planrooms and Prolog® from Meridian Systems. PlanWell DataBridge eliminates redundant data entry, automates project updates, and boosts efficiency and communication within construction project teams.

Kumar Wiratunga is our corporate director of technology and, along with our technology team in Silicon Valley, has been working closely with Meridian to make the two applications speak the same language.

He said, “The great thing about synchronizing project data between document management and project management systems is that it eliminates the manual, redundant and error-prone processes that most of our customers use when they manage project management and document management separately. But when a project manager can enter information in one application, and the information is updated in both systems within minutes, they can realize significant increases in productivity.”

PlanWell DataBridge allows Prolog users to:
•    Share common data between applications
•    Synchronize project information, bid packages and contacts
•    Maintain current document sets and contacts
•    Easily start up projects by leveraging indexed data in PlanWell Enterprise.

We’ve heard estimates from some of our customer that they are saving hours, and sometimes days of time in data entry for a given project or project module. These are managers using the new synchronization application on their projects, all without any investment in additional hardware or dedicated infrastructure to run. Data synchronization occurs entirely over an internet connection and is updated dynamically within minutes of data entry.

Like Director of Business Applications at Adolfson & Peterson Construction told us, “In today’s economy, we are required to do more with less. Planwell DataBridge eliminates the manual entry of data into Prolog, allowing our construction teams to be more productive.”
