VIA Rail Canada: Managing technical data and documents for mega-scale projects

WHAT TO EXPECT

The task

The objective was to implement a transparent correspondence management system for a train procurement project. The task required moving correspondence to a cloud environment that would serve as a secure communication platform for formal project correspondence between customers and suppliers.

The results

• Data migration from Microsoft SharePoint within just two months
• Clearly identifiable document status indicators and extractable metadata for metrics development
• The ability to monitor and manage all correspondence, every component of the documentation, as well as the contract data requirements list (CDRL)
• Standardized, automated processes for multi-stage review and approval procedures for documents and technical data
