As professional services firms are looking for ways to better access and share documents and drawings amongst their project teams, Deltek is always looking for better ways to deliver project information. To help users be even more productive, this release of Deltek PIM includes a new image mode to help users find photos faster, the ability to publish snapshots of active project files to increase visibility into work in progress (WIP), a new assignments dashpart within PIM Teamwork to help keep external team members on track, an easier way to connect to third-party applications and much more!

Over the next couple of months, we will provide a more in-depth look at new features that will help your teams find information faster and keep external teams accountable and on track with assignments. Stay tuned to the Deltek PIM blog posts.

Find and View Photos More Easily

The new image mode within Deltek PIM’s drawing management system (DMS) enables project teams to find images more easily. Instead of the standard list view when searching for files, the image mode displays large thumbnails making it easier to identify the images needed. Additionally, users can quickly edit images, view/edit image metadata and more.

Improve Visibility into WIP Documents and Drawings

Project documents and drawings are in a constant state of flux as things inevitably change throughout the life of a project. As teams are making these changes, does the broader team have visibility into the latest information? Deltek PIM now allows users to publish snapshots of active project files, providing increased visibility into work in progress (WIP). The publishing snapshots feature is available for both files checked out of Deltek PIM through Local File Management (LFM) and for active drawing files located in network directories through Universal Document Control (UDC).

Such tasks include RFIs and submittals within the Contract Management module, defect management items and observations through the Mobile Working module and more. Note: Requires PIM Teamwork module.
