Case Study: James G. Davis Construction Corporation achieves secure, searchable project collaboration and email management with Document Locator

Document Locator improves project collaboration at James G. Davis Construction Corporation

James G. Davis Construction Corporation (DAVIS), a 300+ employee general contractor in the Washington, D.C. area, needed to improve the flow of project information for large, multi‑party jobs. Their mix of Windows folders, Outlook .pst files and FTP sites made documents and project email hard to find, share and manage—especially for remote collaborators—creating inefficiencies and loss of visibility.

DAVIS implemented Document Locator, an enterprise document management system with secure on‑site repositories, Web access, Outlook email capture, full‑text indexing and integrations with scanning and other project/accounting tools. The quick-to-deploy, easy-to-use solution centralized project content, made emails and faxes searchable, enabled selective external access, and improved collaboration and project-management efficiency, leaving the company better organized and looking to expand the system’s use.
