Electronic collation of project documents and information

The intuitive interface lets the user understand project organisation and quickly retrieve information. Icons, shortcuts and filters are all there to simplify the work. Everything relating to the project is grouped in a dedicated workspace, where there is no risk of losing data.

As part of a project, all of the documents involved are deposited in Mezzoteam and sorted. All of the parties involved can easily connect to view or validate them. By hosting and simplifying the project’s lifecycle, Mezzoteam ensures that deadlines are met and costs kept under control.

Mezzoteam is easy to use. Users connect to it using the Internet; the access is secured through a login and password. Configurable document forms are used to sort files and easily retrieve information. The project manager controls collaboration by inviting players to join the project or removing them from the project directory.

Each user is assigned their own access rights based on their role in the project. This way they may come to validate, sign off and distribute documents. These actions are automated, thanks to a powerful workflow management system.

According to requirements, dedicated modules may be activated, for example to produce graphic documents or synchronise with the workstation. The application architecture is used to easily integrate the workflow into the company's IT system.

All of the actions performed (downloading, opening documents, etc.) are traced in an activity log. The reporting module is used to generate dashboards. When the project is finished, all the documents are archived in line with the filing plan adopted.
