Project Summary

Iflexion collaborated with the client's internal team to adapt an enterprise content management (ECM) solution for construction companies, building custom connectors and extending content handling capabilities. They implemented file preview, automatic synchronization across on-premises and cloud environments, custom workflows, and optimized a paired mobile app for iPad/iPad Pro. Their testing efforts and pre-tuned connectors reduced deployment time and lowered testing effort, while daily coordination enabled fast value delivery.

Key Challenges

Tailor the ECM solution to construction-specific business processes
Integrate the ECM with commonly used construction management systems
Ensure the paired mobile app performed stably on latest iPad and iPad Pro devices
Handle large volumes of heavy files across on-premises and cloud environments while maintaining performance

Project Deliverables

Extended file-format support including 2D sketches, CAD drawings, and 3D construction models
File preview functionality for all supported content types
Automatic file synchronization across on-premises and cloud environments
Custom connectors integrating with Oracle Primavera, Procore, and Buildertrend
Custom content workflows for construction content cycles
Dedicated mobile app optimized and performance-tested for iPad and iPad Pro
Unit, integration, and performance testing delivered by Iflexion

Project Solution

Iflexion adapted an existing ECM platform to construction industry workflows by extending supported file formats (2D sketches, CAD, 3D models), enabling file preview and automatic synchronization across on-premises and cloud environments, and implementing custom workflows. They developed custom connectors to integrate the ECM with Oracle Primavera, Procore, and Buildertrend, and conducted concurrent unit, integration, and performance testing, with particular focus on optimizing the paired mobile app for iPad and iPad Pro.

Project Outcome

Deployment time was cut substantially due to pre-tuned features and ready-to-use connectors
Reduced effort spent on testing the deployed solution
Smooth cross-time-zone collaboration enabled quick value delivery within days of project start
