Multiple Server Vault Deployment

WRENCH Enterprise^™ operates on the Multiple Server Vault (MSV) model which is best suited for deploying WRENCH Enterprise^™ across geographically separated enterprise. The MSV model facilitates documents to be stored locally where they are created and maintained. At the same time, the MSV model also provides centralized management of data. This model offers the best possible response time and documents could be accessed across the organization within the minimum time. The Central server and database server is to be located on any server, which has adequate connectivity. The main server can be within the DMZ of the firewall, as long as a secure connectivity through HTTP is available for a client from internet zone to the server.

Enterprise File Distribution using Real-time Replication

WRENCH enables the centralized management & distribution of data across an enterprise by the process of Replication. Replication refers to the simple process of maintaining a copy of a set of data on a different computer, local to the point of use. When changes are made to the original data, they are synchronized with the replicated files. WRENCH can maintain multiple replications at various locations and synchronize them when the original is modified/edited. When files are updated on one server, the file replication service replaces the corresponding files on other servers and workstations with the updated files. The replication process increases file delivery speed as the replication locations are local to the point of use. The system detects the files that are most frequently used by a user or a group of users and ensures that the latest updated versions are available in satellite servers in locations that are closest to the user.

Remote project management via real-time collaboration
With WRENCH Enterprise^™, the project manager can consistently track the updated status of deliverables and documentation in real-time across the entire organization. The system sends out automatic alerts prior to a delay which acts as a preventive measure.

Document Management
WRENCH Enterprise^™ hosts excellent document management facilities by which each document is created and stored by system and all the associated tasks such as numbering, naming & saving are done automatically without human intervention. The system updates all inter-linked files as and when a change is saved. All the unnecessary duplicates are automatically made obsolete.

Knowledge Management
Documents are stored centrally in WRENCH Enterprise^™ which enables multiple project teams to simultaneously access files/documents at all times from various locations around the globe. This data or knowledge is categorized and stored in a centralized archive for future reuse.

Standardized ISO-Driven Process Automation
WRENCH Enterprise^™ enables the standardization of the ISO process by providing an efficient document management system that identifies specific security levels for each file/document. The entire ISO process is mapped into a workflow, which constitutes the routing & revision history of documents. Owing to zero human manipulation, errors are considerably minimized and all the documents could be comfortably accessed from a common platform.

Enforcement of multi-level security across all groups
WRENCH Enterprise^™ enforces multi-level security for intellectual property of the organization. The system offers multi-level security depending on designation and authority of user. The system provides user functional security rights to control access to project-related documents, tasks, and activities throughout the product development cycle.

• Share project information across multiple locations
• Maintain up-to-date project data and documents
• Standardize the project information
• Integrates all project shareholders in a single platform
• Monitor work across all teams, anytime, anywhere
• Ensures consistent quality at every stage of the project

These are the following module. Here we show you a brief snapshot of some of the main functional modules in WRENCH Enterprise™.

Project Information Module:
This module captures the detail information on the project such as project no, project description, project type etc., Project specific definitions and resource assigned to various roles in the project are specified here. This information provided in this module is used in subsequent modules and thus automatically assigning data to common data which need the project specific information hence reducing the manual efforts.
Work break down structure Module (WBS)
In this module the work break down structure of a project can be created or can be imported from standard project management software's such as Primavera or MS Project. To the task in the WBS the schedule start, Schedule finish dates and other planning information can be specified. As the task get processed through it pre-defined processes the status of the task is automatically updated. The legends specified against each task displays the actual status of the task.
Workflow Module:
Provides facility to define the work process for any deliverable. The graphically engine of the workflow module assist to create serial, parallel, sequential and user definable work process. To the activities in the workflow the user roles, % weightage, lead time and user defined checklist can be assigned. The deliverables can be driven by the processes specified in the workflow module. The user assigned to an activity is notified automatically as per the workflow and by a mail.
Document management Module:
The module provides facility to attach, check-in, check-out drawings and documents created using common CAD software's and documentation software's. The version and revision history of the documents is maintained automatically as the document is modified. The integrated Viewer enables to view drawings and document which support over 350 commonly used file formats and also can be integrated with external viewing software's. The drawing and documents can be printed online and the status of the document as Approved or Work in progress is printed as a water mark and the print log is maintained.
To-Do-list or Workspace Module:
This module displays the list of list of task assigned to a user. The To-do-list list the task, the documents, change request, change notes and action items from Minutes of the meeting. This module provides access to the other modules when the user process the task from the To-do-list.
Transmittal Module:
Transmittal can be created with user defined format and released electronically to the client, vendor, other units or to other discipline.
Change management Module:
This module provide facility to raise the change request, specify the change required, reason for change and route the change request for approval through a pre-defined workflow. The changes made can be documented in a note and can be routed through a workflow for approval.
Search Module:
This module enables to search for document based on any of the linked attributes or based on the content of the document or drawing. Multiple search criteria can be specified by choose multiple document properties or project attributes. Based on the criteria the data is displayed and specific document or group of documents can be selected and print request or copy request can be initiated.
Minute of the meeting Module:
Using this module the minutes of the meeting action items can be created and each action can be assigned to specific user and action completion date can be specified for each action. The actionnees is notified in the To-Do-list when the minutes of the meeting is released and the actions can be updated by the actionee.
Report module:
Dynamic reports can be generated based on the real-time data captured through the processes defined in WRENCH. Reports can be printed in pre-defined formats or user defined reports can be created by mapping the fields in WRENCH to the report format using real time data dash boards can be configured.
Other Modules:
There are other module such as administration module to create users, user group, document types, disciplines, document characteristics etc., and other utility modules such as print manager, scan manager, Time sheet, Checklist, Ideation, Correspondence Management and Knowledge Management.
