The ProjectWise Advantage


What is ProjectWise? 

is a project team collaboration and work 

sharing platform for the design and 

construction of infrastructure projects… 

…that provides scalable, industry-proven 

integrated engineering content management, 

multi-channel content publishing and 

iterative project review capabilities for 

work-in-progress.

Design and Engineering Team 

Situation: 

• Intensive engineering interaction 

• Uses software from multiple vendors 

• Interdependent design decisions 

• Large file exchanges 

Challenges: 

• Managing content that changes rapidly 

• Lack of interoperability 

• Finding information quickly 

• Understanding impact of changes

Federated Single Source of Truth 

ProjectWise Provides: 

• Engineering content management 

• Multi-vendor application integration 

• Delta File Transfer & caching servers 

• Reference and dependency management 

Benefits: 

• Time saved finding information 

• Reduced training costs 

• Time and network cost savings 

• Reduced risk of errors and omissions 

What is “Federated” Project Data? 

Federated project data is stored in multiple locations and aggregated on an as-needed basis, 

rather than in one central, monolithic and cumbersome database. 

Why “Federated” Project Data? 

Federated data mirrors the way most inter-disciplinary project teams work—each with their 

own applications and operating in their own locations. It is the most efficient way to work.

Business Value to the Organization 


Project Reviewers 

Situation: 

• Periodic & iterative interaction 

• May not be users of engineering software 

• Feedback comes from many sources 

Challenge: 

• Provide timely feedback to design team 

• Review designs without originating software 

• Design team needs feedback source 

Just-in-time Value to Stakeholders

Dynamic Capture of Feedback 


• Easy access to review and simulation tools 

• Fast creation and sharing of digital and 

hardcopy markups 

• Approval workflows and audit trails 

Benefits: 

• Improved project quality 

• Time savings integrating reviewer 

feedback into designs 

• Reduced project risk

Business Value to the Organization 


Project Information Consumers 

Situation: 

Challenges: 

• Engineering content needs to be accessible 

• Standards for deliverables vary 

• Lots of specific & precise information required 

• The extended team lacks software to view 

• Wrong standards can create misinformation 

• Information gets “dumbed-down” 

Just-in-time Value to Stakeholders

““We’ve made ProjectWise our global work-sharing platform to streamline 

team collaboration on projects of all sizes and complexities. We're really 

happy with the way it allows widely distributed project teams to confidently 

share and manage project data. In addition, our strategic partnership with 

Bentley enables us to develop and implement world-class solutions that meet 

the needs of our integrated project teams around the globe.”

“We currently utilize ProjectWise in 32 projects, across more than 

1300 users, representing $3 billion in construction costs alone. As 

most of the design data we currently manage is Revit based, 

ProjectWise V8i (SELECTseries 2) with Revit integration, as well as 

Delta File Transfer, will further enhance our Revit community by 

incorporating their workflows with supercharged network 

performance. ProjectWise has been tremendous in helping us 

collaborate with our business partners. ”
