The foundationfor this collaboration tool is Corecon V7, a Web-based platform forestimating, project management, job cost control and scheduling. The newTeamLink Portal complements Corecon V7 by providing “external” teammembers with the ability to collaborate on project information without havingto purchase their own subscription to Corecon V7 software.

The Portalsupports all browsers (Google Chrome, Apple Safari, Internet Explorer andFirefox) and requires no plug-ins to be installed. Once an internal orexternal team member logs in to the solution, navigation and access to projectinformation corresponding to all phases of the project from preconstruction andbidding through project completion is quick, easy and secure. Within theportal, team members can collaborate with one another by being able to access,respond to and store project information.

For example,during preconstruction and bidding, the TeamLink Portal can be used to captureproject drawings, store RFPs and allows subcontractors and suppliers to submitpricing remotely. During construction, team members can access and comment oninformation they are given permission to see including Journals, RFIs,Submittals, Punchlist items and Schedules. Plus, Corecon’s ProjectCalendar and Alerts features track time-sensitive material and alert staff tooverdue items or team member responses. Team members can also upload and shareproject files on the TeamLink Portal including drawings, CAD and BIM files andphotographs.

The TeamLinkPortal also provides value on and after project completion. All documentationthrough the life of the project is stored on the portal, so final projectdocumentation such as, as-built drawings and product manuals can be downloadedby the building owner, further extending the benefits of this technologythroughout the life of the facility.

Security in theTeamLink portal is granular and flexible enough to meet the needs of bothinternal and external users of Corecon’s platform. To accommodate thisrequirement, there are two types of security systems for Corecon. The first isfor internal employees that applies to Corecon V7; Corecon Mobile for use withsmartphones and tablets; and CoreconLink Utilities, an integrated solution foraccounting and Microsoft Outlook. The second type of security is for outsideteam members that access the TeamLink Portal. Both of these systems arepassword protected and are managed within Corecon V7 by an internalAdministrator who can set either no access, partial access or full access to information.The Portal also accommodates multiple projects and different project roles forthe same outside team members.
