Project Document Management
Projects generate masses of documentation. Worse still, each project usually makes up it's own directory structure to store project documents as it goes along. There is no consistent layout for directories and subdirectories. Time spent tracking down project documents can be significant - even worse when the project documentation you have been working with, turns out to be an early version that is now out of date. You need a document management system. Whilst some organisation's have document management software, most need their own project document management tool. Using PA provides a way to log in, and hyperlink to those documents. Taking 20 seconds to log the document can save 20 minutes finding it a month later. You can even print a version control sheet to go with the document.

Benefits All project documents can be viewed in one place Easy to find documents because it is in a single consistent format Versions of documents can be tracked Documents that span more than one project can be located easily
