Houston, TX (PRWEB)
August 4, 2008 -- Based in Houston, Texas, Gulf Interstate
Engineering Company (Gulf) has served the energy industry
since 1953, providing quality project management and engineering
services to the worldwide oil and gas industry. Gulf has
recently introduced the use of Data Viewer Total Document
Management (Dv TDM) software from Practical Programs. This
program will provide their clients with the best service
possible, creating a new level of in-house productivity with
regard to document management and a new level of client interaction.
Gulf is using Data Viewer Total Document Management as an
additional layer of quality control to its existing document
management tool set, and more specifically as an efficient
means of working with project documents in the areas of project
management and CAD drawing related engineering tasks.
Gulf Management has said, "We now have a database that our
Clients will have the ability to access projects directly
from Dv TDM using Internet Explorer." This recent feature
is part of an effort to bring the most technical aspects
of the work flow into the everyday intranet environment and
helps to bring all decision makers into the fray.
Gulf began using the Dv TDM software for CAD six months
ago while searching for ways to heighten productivity and
usability for its clients. The potential for automation was
a key component in the selection of Dv TDM. Gulf Management
also had this to say about the program, "We are particularly
excited about the flexibility and user friendliness of Dv
TDM in addition to having excellent control with all documentation
for traceability purposes. Practical Programs is currently
customizing a module to automate our transmittal process.
We envision taking advantage of this flexibility to automate
other internal processes in the future." The software suite
is expected to increase the productivity of Gulf's project
management and engineering functions.
Dv TDM includes all MS Office features. Dv TDM includes
all of the functionality from Dv Office with support for
office files, PDFs, e-mails, and more. From web based or
desktop applications to system design options, transmittals,
database linking and many other features, all will be useful
in drafting and engineering applications such as are required
at Gulf. The Dv TDM solution for document management also
includes such highly configurable features such as Check
in, Check Out, Revisions, and Reference File Management,
all of which are flexible in their design and can be customized
exactly to AutoCAD and related engineering-focused needs.
A full audit trail of user activity, total document security,
customizable document/drawing numbering, as well as file
naming and revision number nomenclature is also available.
