ProjNetSM

The Project Extranet or ProjNetSM provides business-process based information exchange applications between public sector contract or project management offices, funding agencies, and all tiers of designers, consultants, builders, subcontractors, suppliers, and manufacturers. While ProjNetSM doesn't help your stakeholders create designs, prepare bidder inquiries, or create construction submittals, it does allow you to securely coordinate the information with authorized team members who can to take action on the information exchanged. The specific applications contained in ProjNetSM are described in the user documentation, identified below.

ProjNetSM is a not-for-profit software development by the U.S. Army Engineering Research and Development Center (ERDC). During 2006 a partnership between the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS) and ERDC will be established to further the spread and use of ProjNetSM tools. Agencies participating in ProjNetSM are automatically given seats on the NIBS Government-to-Business process committee where best practices are shared and new requirements identified and vetted. ProjNetSM development began over ten years ago with research into web-based prototypes to automatically capture lessons learned during design reviews. Today over 28,000 users in seven federal agencies, three state government agencies and their commercial business partners use ProjNetSM applications.
