Relying on ad hoc processes and phone, fax, and email to communicate makes it increasingly difficult to stay on top of projects—much less boost efficiency.

The Autodesk® Constructware® on-demand project management service, a part of the Autodesk Collaborative Project Management suite of solutions, enables you to manage crucial processes throughout the building lifecycle using a centralized, accessible service. Designed to optimize and standardize business processes, Constructware helps you to move from ad hoc methodologies to a best-practices approach as you plan, construct, and operate your facilities.
