REMOTE DATA ACCESS PROGRAM
At QAR we strive to provide our clients with cutting edge technology that contributes to the success of our relationship with our clients. We believe that one of the keys to a successful relationship is good communication, and the ability of our clients to have access to information pertaining to their projects is part of sound communication. That’s why QAR has implemented an internet based data management tool to benefit our clients, QAR and our staff.
The web site can be accessed by any standard web browser from any location with Internet access. The web site enables authorized individuals to gain easy access to their project information. Whether the information is document-based or resides in an external system, a project web site gives you the ability to obtain it electronically, and get it to the people who need it, when they need it.
This tool allows our clients and project team members to a complete means of maintaining and collaborating project information. A project web site provides management and team members an intra/internet accessible method of sharing documents, drawings, CAD files, and other electronic information including hyperlinks to other sites.
In its most basic form, a project web site is a modern-day proxy to the filing cabinet; the traditional repository for project documents. However, with its basis in the World Wide Web, the project web site provides several enhancements that can prove invaluable to projects that span multiple firms, disciplines, and locations. Unlike the traditional filing cabinet, the project web site:
- provides true “centralization” of project information, giving project members and clients information pertaining to projects from a remote location
- reduces or eliminates costly and time-consuming manual distribution (mail, fax, etc.)
- permits project documents to be shared with individuals from other organizations
- delivers information in electronic form so that it can be manipulated and modified and distributed electronically to other parties
- manages access rights, associations between team members and relevant data
