"Ultimate Forms gave us the competitive edge to deliver to our customer's powerful SharePoint-based applications to solve their business-critical needs and helped us achieve a competitive advantage."

— Ed Taylor, CEO, Technical Assurance

ON-PNT solutions is a GIS (geographic information system) web-based solution for facility management. It works as a central solution for facility management companies and building owners to store their data regarding the inventory of building systems, ongoing construction, assessments, and similar relevant business processes.

The Client

Technical Assurance, Inc. is a Cleveland-based nationally recognized building enclosure consulting firm that's been operating since 1993. The company has over two hundred years of combined experience in construction, materials, maintenance, and maximizing the ROI of any major structural capital assets.

The Issue

Technical Assurance wanted to help its customers to efficiently manage their capital assets by providing improved maintenance via software that analyzes repair and repair cost, assures industry best practices, and improves the efficiency of several other business processes.  Technical Assurance was using paper systems, which made it hard for them to perform day to day tasks because of manual processes and developing their own propriety system would require a substantial amount of resources.

The Requirement

 Along with the features mentioned above, the solution also needed to have;

• Ease of administration.
• Ease of use for end-users.
• Visualization capabilities to draw focus to areas of attention, including exception management.
• Ease of access to contextual information.
• Leveraged GIS data and mapping.
• Reporting capabilities.
• Contextual information.
• Data acquisition from mobile clients.
• Data and workflow automation.

The Solution

After looking at several options for four months, Technical Assurance chose Microsoft SharePoint; however, the out-of-the-box system wasn't fully capable of delivering all the components that they needed. Technical Assurance decided to customize Infowise Solutions' ULTIMATEforms to build a more robust ON-PNT solution. Infowise solutions partners with industry-leading companies around the world and has been delivering advanced solutions for over a decade. Recently, Infowise Solutions was awarded a five-year contract of US General Services Administration (GSA) IT Schedule 70 to provide Microsoft 365 and SharePoint-based solutions.

We offer advanced and efficient collaboration solutions in an era where the digital workplace is becoming more and more necessary."
