ARCHIBUS V.16 Enhanced Features
ARCHIBUS V.16 incorporates a long list of added features
that improve the functionality and usability of the software, including:
- Activity-based Deployment. With activity-based deployment, users can
more easily gain clear definition and consensus on the highest value automation
priorities in the organization, and quickly detail responsibilities, identify
resources, and set specific timeframes for achieving their goals. Even a broad
range of automation goals can be achieved activity-by-activity, step-by-step,
with each new function building on the data, skills, and success of the previous
deployment.
- New “Learning Path”. ARCHIBUS V.16 includes a role-based
Learning Path that is integrated directly into the Help system so users can
quickly identify the information that is most relevant to a particular job.
This results in a flatter learning curve for new users, greater productivity,
and reduced staff training needs. The impact of staff turnover is minimized
and organizations can accelerate their Return On Investment.
- New “Getting
Results” Section. The “Getting Results” section
presents ARCHIBUS from the standpoint of the business results to be
achieved, providing lists of prerequisites, goals, and organizational titles
with a stake in the results. Users are able to quickly move from goals
to action plans and the tools needed to achieve those results.
Integrated, Web-accessible Documentation. All ARCHIBUS documentation
is now online, organized in a single table of contents, and searchable
from a single dialog, speeding the process of answering questions and
accomplishing tasks.
- Microsoft SQL Server Express Support. ARCHIBUS
V.16 includes support for SQL Server Express, a no-fee database server
software that is included with the product and reduces the cost and effort
required to get small workgroups up and running on ARCHIBUS.
- CAFM Interoperability. New features for interacting with data and
drawings increase productivity for CAD specialists by enabling them to more
fully leverage the power of both the ARCHIBUS and AutoCAD environments, in
tandem.
