Automate the connection of all your content and platforms, to streamline collaboration and content reviews, and ensuring project teams work together effectively, regardless of where their files are stored.
Collaborate Across Platforms
Effortlessly bring together content from Autodesk, Procore and SharePoint into one collaborative Bluebeam session, reducing the need for manual document transfers and time-consuming platform switching.
Streamline Document Reviews and Approvals
Simplify the submittal, review and approval process by combining multiple documents into a single session, enabling real-time collaboration and feedback from teams, consultants, and stakeholders across different platforms.
Boost Efficiency in Project Delivery
Eliminate bottlenecks and delays caused by siloed information and disconnected workflows, speeding up project timelines and ensuring faster project reviews and approvals.
Whether you’re handling submittals, design reviews, or ad-hoc sessions, improve productivity, reduce errors, and ensure project teams work together effectively, regardless of where their files are stored.
Not only do we bring assets together, but marked up content will write back to the original source location automatically.
Document Control For Email
All of DCNext’s document control workflows are readily available to use inside of Outlook.
Document control is the application of process, via workflow, to the content you must manage as part of the project – which includes email. Emails and their attachments in your inbox might include an inbound request for information or a request for a change order. The ProjectReady Add-In extends our document control suite, DCNext, to your Outlook inbox and connects the vital workflows you use every day in a way that makes sense.
The ProjectReady Add-In requires no additional set-up overhead from IT and provides you with the following functionality:
Manage RFI
Manage Change Order Request
Create Task
Register Content
Manage Submittal
File Email

Connect & Attach
Find and Email multiple attachments across different systems in 10% of the time.
Sometimes you just need to send a customer or vendor project documents via emails. The problem, however, is that on an AEC project what needs to be attached and sent is everywhere. Different documents in different libraries in SharePoint and Teams, documents in Autodesk BIM360 or ACC build, Plangrid, Box and Procore.
Getting all of that together is labor intensive and a waste of your time. In fact, you might not even realize how much time and money your team is burning with every email that’s sent out. (And. if you care to find out, we’ve provided you with an informative calculator below.)
Using ProjectReady’s “Connect and Attach” solution, you can now pull together multiple pieces of content from across all your connected systems, add what you need to ProjectReady’s Content Cart, and send the entire package out as an email. In just a few clicks you can now send attachments from wherever content is stored.
Create Tasks from Email
Convert emails you would otherwise forward, into tasks for traceability and as part of the project record.
With ProjectReady’s ability to create tasks from email directly out of Outlook, you can ensure that nothing is missed on your project and all tasks are accounted for with full visibility for your team. Don’t let valuable project information get trapped inside of anyone’s inbox.
Search & Report on Email
Search and report on email and attachments that have been added to the project record.
Email has a lot of variables. From simply associating email and attachments to the project record to extending email content to the document control process, you need to be able to understand the context of the email and generate reports in context of the project.
With ProjectReady, all essential connections are made at the onset of the project. Because we add and capture metadata across our rich set of features and tie it all back to the project, means you can generate unique and comprehensive reports. And with all that data stored in your Azure SQL, you gain the ability to quickly click and grab the SQL query of what you are looking at and easily bring the data into PowerBI to generate beautiful, information-rich reports.
With ProjectReady, you gain powerful search and reporting functionality out of the box. But for those who are looking to go even further, ProjectReady provides the tools necessary to gain even greater value from your existing tech investments – including Microsoft 365.
