BIW Standards Manager captures and coordinates your most powerful resource: the knowledge and experience of your own staff and supply chain partners. Information about standards is accumulated within your organisation and its supply chain, and is managed in a secure, shared repository accessible anytime, anywhere, by authorised team members. As a result, you develop a framework for continuous improvement, reduced waste/cost, and increased profits, for your organisation and all members of the supply chain.

Standard information can also be dynamically integrated into the project environment: we promote two-way exchange of information between the standards environment and our core collaboration platform.

• greater accessibility - standards are communicated and implemented more effectively, and can be shared across multiple projects
• easier publication - standards can be defined and compiled automatically using original source data
• better version control - view previous versions of a standard
• greater accuracy - capture context-sensitive feedback from project partners
• more direct information management - 'expert' business partners can continuously manage and refine their own standards, enabling a more dynamic, experience-based approach to the development and maintenance of corporate standards
• better integration with 'live' projects - relate live projects to existing standards (and vice versa)
