Created to simplify, de-risk, and accelerate the complex processes associated with managing design documentation. Your single version of the truth. Everywhere.

2 BIM Level 2 Accreditation Made Simple Naming files in accordance with BS 1192 file naming standards is never an easy task. With Excitech DOCS, the naming process is made easier by automatically assigning revisions and suitability codes in accordance with the standards. Excitech DOCS allows you to remain compliant whilst making sure that the purpose of each document is clear to your recipient at all times. The workflow and approvals in Excitech DOCS ensures that easy-to-manage processes are in place. This gives you peace of mind that the right documents are sent only once they are fit for transmittal and have been approved. Spend More Time Creating more inventive problem solving The tree frog uses ingenious ways to protect itself from drying heat and the midday sun. With Excitech DOCS, you can stop wasting time manually editing title blocks and plotting drawings to multiple formats with varying names to a hierarchy of folders, by allowing the system to automatically do it all for you. Keep the wheels turning while you are out of the office via the mobile app that allows you to undertake most actions from your mobile phone or tablet including mark-ups and approval of documents. Your Reputation Protected The knock-on effect of even the smallest error can be disastrous; affecting project actions from manufacture, to materials delivery, to failed clash detection, to physical construction issues. Excitech DOCS gives you confidence that your procedures are robust and auditable, that your data is safe, that your colleagues can find what they need and your reputation is protected. 1 2

3 Greater Focus, Control, and Operational Confidence Key Features Excitech DOCS seamlessly integrates with AutoCAD and Revit to make document management best practice a positive experience. It enables more effective day to day revision control, Xref management, transmittals and work-set management. Company and/or project standards Use the British standard file names and workflows that are built into Excitech DOCS or where needed, adopt your own company standards or those imposed by a project. Excitech DOCS supports the workflows of PAS :2013 and the document file naming of BS 1192:2007+A2:2016. Ensures consistency and compliance Allows designers to focus on design work Gives peace of mind to document controllers and CAD/BIM Managers Increases control over the quality and reliability of output Works on any connected device and operating system: ios, Android and Windows 10 Mobile Designed and Tailored for the Construction Sector Efficient management Outlook integration provides drag-n-drop filing into your projects. Transmittals Assemble transmittal packages, automatically generate customisable transmittal sheets and maintain robust records. Integrate with third party solutions Add capabilities yourself or with plug-ins from the M-Files Marketplace (M-Files is the core engine code of Excitech DOCS). Object oriented and meta-data driven IMPLEMENTED IN 4 DAYS INSTEAD OF 6-8 WEEKS FOR OTHER DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS Excitech DOCS is built on top of M-Files, ranked by Forrester as a leading Enterprise Content Management solution. Excitech DOCS is typically rolled-out in just 4 days, removing significant configuration and consulting costs, and enabling your staff to be up and running within a week. 4-DAY IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE FOR SINGLE OFFICE WITH STAFF Traditional folder management breaks down when documents could/should be in multiple places at once. For example, where should a staff policy document reside; HR folders, QA folders or Business Management folders? Placing it in all three introduces problems with duplication and versioning whilst having it in one can make it hard for some people to locate it. With Excitech DOCS, you organise and search for documents based on what they are rather than where they are, so whilst it looks like a folder structure (because that s easier for people to navigate) it isn t, plus each role, team or even individual can have a different route to the same document.
