Press Release

SWORD'S FUSION TRANSMITTALS MANAGER - ACCELERATING GLOBAL PROJECTS

SWORD Group, the international specialist IT Products and Services Provider and a Microsoft Certified Gold Partner, are delighted to announce availability of the Fusion Transmittals Manager application for their established Fusion solution, an innovative web based Project Document Control tool for streamlining and de-risking Capital Projects.

Fusion Transmittals Manager significantly lowers the cost and commercial risks associated with managing Engineering and Construction Capital Projects whilst reducing errors, improving quality and ensuring reusable Best Practice.

Fusion operates on leading ECM platforms including Cimage, FileNet P8 and SharePoint 2007. Fusion leverages the latest Microsoft .NET2 web platform allowing all remote parties to securely access critical information on demand, from any location, without installing client software. Commercial risk is greatly mitigated through reduction in errors and delays and a full audit trail.

Project lifecycles are reduced both on startup and completion. Reusable templates and distribution lists and matrices enable projects to get up and running quicker. Fusion’s real time handover dossier feature means projects are completed and handed over to Operations in days instead of months saving up to millions of pounds per project, providing better value for clients and delivering competitive advantage to EPC Contractors.

Optional integration with Microsoft SharePoint delivers a simple, friendly and secure collaboration tool for external stakeholders, negating client roll-outs, reducing training costs and delivering low total cost of ownership.

Karl Noakes, Director of Partner Development and Marketing at Microsoft UK said "As a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, SWORD is among the elite of the Microsoft partner community. Our Gold partners are highly equipped to deliver business-driven technology solutions to their customers and are highly valued by Microsoft."
