Customer Case Study: The Weitz Company
The Weitz Company Integrates Prolog Software with e-PCS to Achieve Electronic Document Management and Archiving throughout the Project Lifecycle
The Weitz Company has always prided itself on being an effective implementer of proven technology. As far back as 1996, the company recognized that, to optimize productivity, project coordination and communication, it needed to manage construction documents electronically. Acting on this need, Weitz implemented Prolog Manager from Meridian Systems in 1997 and gained an electronic tracking system and data repository for project-related information like contracts, requests-for-information (RFIs), submittals, transmittals, daily field reports and so forth.
