Nice video!


During the video, the speaker mentions that Thomas Printworks (formerly Thomas Reprographics) has 563 employees (I guess this was as of April 2015, when the video was produced).  For those of us old-timers who like to estimate the overall sales volumes of reprographics enterprises, my guesstimate is that Thomas Printworks’ annual sales volume is in the range of $60 - $75 million…. a nice chunk of change.)

“….This homegrown printer (err, reprographer), turned international EMPIRE, exemplifies the power of an entrepreneurial spirit”

The Commonwealth of Kentucky, Division of Engineering & Construction (DECA) Signs Agreement with Lynn Imaging to Provide Construction Information Management Software

 Lynn Imaging’s online planroom brings free file downloads to contractors on State of Kentucky projects, and DECA signs on to use eCommunication construction software to manage the documentation and workflow of construction projects

Frankfort, Kentucky (PRWEB) July 11, 2015

Lynn Imaging has entered into an agreement with DECA to provide construction information management software services to manage each project from its inception through closeout. Lynn Imaging will administer an online digital planroom for the bid phase, and will implement eCommunication software for the project and closeout phases of each project.

Starting July 1, 2015, contractors will be able to download plans on any DECA project (in the bid phase) at no charge. Jennifer Linton, Assistant Director of DECA, said, “the Division of Engineering and Contract Administration is pleased to have Lynn Imaging under a new contract for their document distribution for construction projects. One of the best things we will now be able to offer our customers are free digital downloads on all projects. We feel this will be a huge advantage to the bidding community.” This free distribution of information will level the playing field for subcontractors who wish to place a bid on state work. Also, information will now be readily available and easy to access.

In conjunction with this contract, Lynn Imaging is offering full color, wide-format printer rentals for a reduced rate of $74.99 per month, and .40 per SF printed in their office. The monthly fee covers the full color, wide-format printer installed at their office, any service and maintenance of the printer as well as the ink and paper used in the printing of bid documents. This helps speed the delivery of information to contractors who prefer to work with hard copies.

eCommunication revolutionizes the documentation and workflow of construction projects. We “are looking forward to this exciting change in the way we do business,” says Linton. Lynn Imaging’s eCommunication software will provide faster and easier access to timely information. This software will increase project communication, track the workflow and approval of project documents and build an electronic document closeout for project archives – this also aids in managing each facility over its lifetime. Ultimately, it will both speed up project timelines and lower the cost of construction by taking the paper process to a digital process.

For more information, contact Lynn Imaging at 859.255.1021 or email info(at)lynnimaging(dot)com. DECA projects can be accessed at http://www.stateofkyplanroom.com

AECBytes reviews ARC Document Solutions’ Skysite technology

Blog Publisher’s Comment:
The well-regarded, well-known author/publisher, Dr. Lachmi Khemlani, did an extensive write-up/review of Skysite; see below for the full article:
Article Summary
"This review looks at capabilities of SKYSITE, a cloud-based drawing management and distribution application specifically for the construction industry that was recently launched by the leading reprographics company, ARC Document Solutions. It also explores the larger question of whether a solution like SKYSITE, which is entirely focused on the document management piece of project management, even stands a chance of being successfully adopted by construction firms, given the plethora of established and more comprehensive project management and collaboration solutions in the AEC industry."
