Newforma, provider of Project Information Management (PIM) software for architects, engineers, contractors, and owners (AECO) worldwide, announces the 2023.2 new release of the Newforma Project Center that now captures Microsoft Teams channel conversations enabling users to actively search conversations and archive as part of project record.
The Project Center 2023.2 release expands the Microsoft 365 Teams integration with the addition of a new feature to capture Microsoft Teams standard channels making discussions searchable in Newforma Project Center. Incremental snapshots of Microsoft Teams channels can be automatically generated nightly and saved, making them available to Newforma’s powerful search function. The snapshot even captures Emojis! Users can access the snapshots via hyperlinks to review the conversation directly in Microsoft Teams. In addition, the Microsoft Teams channels can be included in the archive when the project is completed.
“Microsoft Teams has become a very popular communication tool for project collaboration. Important discussions are happening, and decisions are being made that aren’t easily found,” said Marge Hart, Senior VP of Product Marketing at Newforma. “The Microsoft Teams channel capture feature has been highly requested by our customers and we are happy to provide this option with our Project Center 2023.2 release.”
Additional features in the Newforma Project Center 2023.2 release include additional security enhancements and support for Autodesk 2024.
