eQuorum Releases ImageSite Plan Review; Web Technology Expedites Construction Plan Review

ImageSite Plan Review is a Web-based software product that automates the plan review process of engineering drawings submitted to local governments for permit approval.

ATLANTA, GA (PRWEB) July 23, 2003 - eQuorum Corporation today announced ImageSite® Plan Review, a Web-based product that automates the plan review process of engineering drawings submitted for permit approval. ImageSite Plan Review expedites the review process through quicker identification and resolution of code violations on permit plan sets.

ImageSite Plan Review lets local governments create multi-step workflows for the review and approval of construction plans. These workflows help ensure that steps in the review process are completed per established business rules and on schedule. Reports give government department staff or agency managers the current status of all plan approval projects, and help identify problem issues that must be resolved before approval is made.

ImageSite Plan Review works with existing permit systems to automate plan reviews. The software provides a shared online workspace for simultaneous reviews by all departments involved in the permit approval process. As permit code issues are identified, they are categorized and routed to the appropriate users for response and resolution. This significantly shortens the review and approval process since reviewers can see others issues and coordinate their responses.

ImageSite Plan Review works with both paper and electronic plan sets. Web-based electronic plan submission offers additional advantages to the review and approval process. ImageSite Plan Review enables Web-based plan submission as part of the permit request. Features such as online viewing of construction drawings and markup capabilities further automate the review process. Users do not need to install any CAD software on their computers as all work is done through a standard web browser.

ImageSite Plan Review includes collaboration features that let users in multiple government departments and outside agencies perform reviews simultaneously," states Frank Bouchard, vice president of sales and marketing at eQuorum. This saves time and reduces expenses."

Bouchard continues, ImageSite Plan Review is a Web-based solution, so when permit issues are identified, the workflows for resolution allow active participation of the builders and developers. Their direct participation ensures quick response to potential code violation issues. Developers really appreciate the increased transparency of the review and approval process since they can see exactly where their review stands."

ImageSite Plan Review is sold directly by eQuorum. The product is a server-based solution and there is no client software to install or maintain. For more details, please contact eQuorum at 800.800.7568 or 404.497.8100 or visit the web site at www.equorum.com.
