Survey shows Canadian construction companies using Conac software
Richmond, BC (July 28, 1999) - According to a survey compiled by Infolink 1999, 24% of the top 100 Canadian construction companies use Conac's products to manage their businesses and projects.
Integration is a key feature that companies look for in choosing their software. They are looking for the ability to link their project management system with other software or files they may currently be using. Conac has foreseen this requirement and provides a seamless interface from the Conac systems to other data files. One of the new integration tools Conac has developed is the Document Control System (DCS) or the "paperless office". Conac says the DCS takes the business of project management to greater heights by enabling users to link files directly from the Conac system to any of the Microsoft Back Office suite of products: Excel, Word, PowerPoint, CADD drawing, images etc. Therefore, project managers or clerical staff can scan and store contracts, letters, documents etc. into any of the above documents and link them directly to codes e.g. Job, Client, Supplier and GL, in the Conac system for convenient data retrieval.
Work breakdown & reporting is another feature of the Conac products. Reports must be produced in a timely and accurate manner to enable critical decision making. Conac is able to proactively isolate key data to provide users with information, and thus allowing owners and managers to make good business decisions. Custom reports can be created from the Conac systems, using the report writer tools, and these reports can be faxed or emailed directly from the system. Conac also provides a flexible six level work breakdown structure from which reports can be extracted to any level of detail.
