Leading provider of collaborative project information management software for the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry and project owners, ProjectReady, has announced it can now connect and sync data, drawings, and files between multiple Autodesk Construction Cloud hubs, Procore companies, and SharePoint sites. The new construction management feature, “ReadyConnect,” solves the challenges that exists when two or more AECO companies on large-scale construction projects operate their own versions of the same Common Data Environment (CDE) but must collaborate on project information while maintaining the most accurate and current version of project-related content and data.
Benefits Of Construction Management Software
According to Shaili Modi-Oza, ProjectReady’s Head of Development, ReadyConnect, ProjectReady’s construction management functionality, allows users to connect and synchronize project information and data related to document control functions, such as requests for information (RFIs), change orders, submittals, and transmittals, between different Autodesk Construction Cloud hubs and Procore companies. ReadyConnect for construction management also allows users to sync content from one SharePoint site to another within the same instance.
Because ReadyConnect gives users greater control over the greater construction project’s software ecosystem, it is an ideal civil engineering project management software solution. It will also drive immediate value among those managing large-scale, multi-year projects.
ProjectReady CEO Joe Giegerich said no other software solution currently gives companies the ability to manage a project’s extended software ecosystem.
“There’s a lot more to project and program management than keeping a schedule up to date,” said Giegerich. “The management and successful delivery of complex construction projects requires many people, architects, engineers, general contractors, subcontractors, and vendors, to eliminate software silos to work better together. Managing the successful delivery of a project requires you to have visibility and control over the data and information that spans the project’s ecosystem, which almost always includes multiple CDEs, software, and actors across a range of companies.
“These different groups on a project need an easy way to connect, communicate, and collaborate. Everybody needs to know that they are working from the most current and accurate drawings and information,” Giegerich continued. “Applying process over the project ecosystem drives interoperability between people, platforms, and processes. ProjectReady’s program management solution, ReadyConnect, lets entire project teams work with consistent and authoritative information, helping teams be more productive and efficient while they work to deliver the project on time and on budget.”

From automatically setting up projects in M365, Autodesk and Procore, to providing an easy way to capture, govern, synchronize and collaborate on information across multiple CDEs and stakeholders (e.g. companies on a project that both use Procore or Autodesk, construction management firms that need to provide oversight and, in some cases, weigh in, but prefer to operate solely in M365); ProjectReady’s program management solution ReadyConnect is the logical next step in the evolution of its Integrated Data Environment (IDE™).
