McLaren Software Previews the Approval of Engineering Work Packs via Microsoft Outlook at EMC Momentum Athens

McLaren Task Services Extends the reach of engineering document management processes

Glasgow, Scotland (4 November 2009)

McLaren Software, leaders in asset documentation and change process applications will be demonstrating the latest release of Enterprise EngineerTM and previewing McLaren Task Services for OutlookTM at the EMC Momentum Conference in Athens, Greece.

McLaren Task Services for Outlook has been designed to widen the number of users able to participate in a formal engineering approval process adding greater integrity and validation to both project or asset documentation.   In-built predefined business rules and electronic signatures ensure all actions and comments are captured automatically providing visibility into the approval task via Enterprise EngineerTM reports.

Approval tasks appear in the Outlook inbox and the user is guided through approval processes by an intuitive McLaren ribbon bar.  Without leaving Outlook the user is able to view and approve, delegate for approval and comment on multiple documents within the approval pack including engineering (CAD) Drawings.

The approval package and all associated documentation remain under the control of Enterprise Engineer and are held in the supporting ECM repository ensuring the security of the documentation. Built in viewing technology allows users to view a range of document formats without launching the original authoring application.

Representatives from Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam will be presenting how they have extended their investment in DocumentumTM by deploying Enterprise EngineerTM for the management of all their terminal real estate drawings and associated project documentation. Schiphol's use of Enterprise Engineer has allowed them to formalise and improve their communication with third party contractors resulting in faster engineering project execution and reduced rework costs.
