ATRIUM 3.9 NOW SPORTS
INCREASED CONFIGURABILITY AND FLEXIBLE REPORTING

Web-based Project Management
for Architectural and Engineering Businesses
 

Pragmatic Software Company Inc. announced major enhancements in the new release of Atrium version 3.9, a web-based project collaboration tool for the Architectural and Engineering Industries. Atrium (http://www.pragmaticsw.com/Atrium) is a customizable project collaboration tool.  Being web-based, it has the capacity of being deployed across an entire organization regardless of geographic location. No installation is necessary; all that is needed is an Internet connection and a browser.

Atrium version 3.9 now sports a more configurable user interface, improved search capabilities and enhancements to it's reporting engine. New enhancements include:

• Configurable Screen Layouts - Clients can define their own screen layouts (each project can have different layouts).
• Enhanced Reporting - Clients can create personal reports, complete with their own selection criteria, fields to display and sort order.  The summary reports have also been enhanced, allowing the client to choose selection criteria and the ability to perform cross-project reporting.
• Enhanced Searching - The search engine is improved, allowing clients to create project level, company level and public filters.  Clients may also include parentheses in their filtering, allowing more control over Boolean searches. Tokens can be placed in the search (like all items for Today, 1 Day Ago, 1 Week Ago, etc.).
• Enhanced Email Alerts - Email alerts are configurable, allowing them to be sent when items that are owned by a person are changed, when items are assigned to a person, or if any changes are made.  Release 3.9 also allows the person to log directly into the system when email alerts are received.

In addition to the new enhancements, Atrium allows architectural and design communities to collaborate by sharing documents (like CAD drawings, policy and procedure manuals, etc.).  Team members can also hold on-line discussions and use the Customer Relationship Manager (CRM) to track sales leads, employees, customers and other contacts.

According to Steve Miller, President of Pragmatic Software, “Atrium drastically reduces shipping charges, as CAD Drawings and other documents can be uploaded to a central place without being sent via overnight mail.  As documents are uploaded, all team members have access to them any time of day and from anywhere in the world.  Some features that set Atrium apart from its competitors is the ability to brand the site to the client and to easily integrate the client’s existing site content into its features."

Atrium is offered as a monthly subscription starting at $ 20 per month, as well as a scalable enterprise solution that can be branded and tailored to exact client needs. There is a two-week free trial offer available.
