Integration for efficiency:
New projects of C&T Solutions
Recently, the C&T Solutions team was entrusted for system integration projects with a training organization in the construction industry and the management office of a creative digital cluster in Hong Kong respectively. The systems in both projects are developed using the latest technology and conform to the open standard. The system architecture is designed with multi-layers through a service-oriented and modular approach and externalized business logic. By revamping the existing legacy systems and integrating the multiple applications into one single platform, these projects would significantly facilitate clients’ administration work and improve operation efficiency
Committed to strengthening the sustainability of the construction industry by providing a communications platform and improving skills development, the training organization found its existing training management system (TMS), which was paper-based and semi-automated, not effective and even reflect data inaccuracy. C&T’s professionals formulated client-centric solutions to migrate the system architecture from client-server to web application and combine the three cycles in training management operation, namely Recruitment, Training and Placement, into one single platform. Wrapped up by a repackaged operation-friendly interface, the revamped TMS with high integration and accessibility will be a systematic and sustainable platform that improves the user experience and work efficiency.
About the project with the innovation and technology hub located in western district of Hong Kong Island, C&T Solutions team is implementing an integrated IT system to replace the existing manual process of workspace leasing management. This leasing management system (LMS) serves as a secure web-based portal to manage the end-to-end process from application to payment collection among internal staffs, prospects and users. The LMS not only enhances visibility of the overall system, but also provides real-time reporting to facilitate the management’s data analysis and decision making.
The C&T Solutions professionals are demonstrating their expertise of system integration and customization in both TMS and LMS projects. By replacing the existing manual systems with integrated web application, the accessibility and efficiency of the entire operation flow is enhanced. Reducing paper-based handling by digitalizing data and records also improves data accuracy and security. The implemented people-centric training and leasing systems are going to serve large audiences more efficiently.

Realizing cost-efficient DMS:
VITOVA package to Hong Kong E&M engineering service provider
A leading E&M engineering service provider in Hong Kong recently replaced their document management system (DMS) with VITOVA. Through over 40 years of operation, this listed company has developed substantial expertise in E&M engineering and built up a strong network with clients who are often engaged in large-scale projects of well-established companies in Hong Kong.
The company’s strong market recognition is underpinned by their strong network, experienced workforce, and integrated management and control system. Over 10 years ago, they already set up their custom-made DMS as a proactive way to improve documentation of scattered types of work orders, reports, forms, emails, etc. in various projects. Expanding into the PRC & Macau and exploring new scopes with their E&M engineering services in recent years, the company has been looking for a more sustainable digital document management workflow that enables customization, upgrades, support, flexible access and intuitive usage.
What VITOVA offers has made DMS replacement a quick decision for this company. In August 2016, they selected the standard package of VITOVA to fit all their needs that are heavily relying on massive document digitalization. VITOVA recommended a hassle-free program to upload existing e-files instead of complicated data migration, VitalScan to enable accurate batch scanning, and VitalNote to integrate emails specific from the Lotus Notes application. The core in the package is web-based VitalDoc that master controls and shares all the ready e-documents with high user-friendliness and security. The whole VITOVA adoption from installation and training to implementation completed in just four months’ time, guaranteeing minimal intervention in different departments that are accumulating large numbers of hardcopies from various ongoing projects.
The choice of this engineering expert company has exemplified how companies in the AEC industry can grasp the latest DMS technology with high cost efficiency. The representative from VITOVA’s customer said, “Centralizing documents has been a big challenge to us as this industry depends a lot on hardcopies, especially confidential and project related documents. But when you find a document management solution that is light, flexible and price competitive, it’s time that you rode on the wave of advanced information technology. VITOVA gives us a new DMS that is simple to use and provides valuable support no matter how further our business expands.”
