As a web-based collaboration application designed for the extended project team, Prolog® Converge complements and automatically integrates with Prolog® Manager. It ensures all users—owner, architect, construction manager, general contractor, subcontractor and suppliers—are well-coordinated throughout the construction process. From an Internet connection, users have access to complete and accurate project information and reports—anytime, anywhere.
Prolog Converge connects project team members to one another and to the images, documents, and database information they need—all in real time. Unlike traditional Web-based applications, the Prolog Web services platform allows the exchange of Prolog data with other systems while tightly maintaining data integrity, and adhering to the business logic, security settings and the system nomenclature established by your project-based organization. Security-based access to portfolios, projects and data means user and project activities can be tracked and accounted for. The Prolog platform creates new opportunities for developers to integrate Prolog with third-party software, and to build custom applications or interfaces.
By leveraging Web services, Prolog Converge addresses collaboration challenges, overcomes application interoperability, and provides end-users with flexible access, making your project teams more successful.
Prolog Converge is an intuitive, easy-to-use data entry forms that mirrors Prolog Manager. It enables centrally manage project-related documents in one location and allows online, secure access based on user permissions. Users can gain Web access to all Prolog reports; drill-down and view project information using various metrics and filters.
