Portland,
Oregon - October 15, 2001 - IronSpire, Inc., a supplier of Web-based
collaboration solutions for the construction industry, today announced the
general availability of JobSite 2.0, the latest version of the company's
online platform for managing communications and information. JobSite 2.0
is a next-generation system that builds on the product's collaboration
capabilities for individual projects to offer developers and general
contractors the ability to optimize control, communications and
information across multiple projects, companies, and departments.
"JobSite
2.0 is unique in providing contractors a powerful ability to coordinate

currently in use, such as accounting software, and to adapt to the processes
that individual companies have established."
More
Powerful Project Management Features
New project management features in
JobSite 2.0 provide personalization and flexibility:
Cross-project overview highlights
what's new
.
MySite,
defined and accessed only by each individual user, provides a cross-project
view of activity in areas important to the user. Each user can also store and
organize documents and information of personal interest so that they are
readily and easily accessible.
Real-time alerts increase team
effectiveness.
Users can sign up for email alerts regarding activity on an individual document
such as a change order or RFI. Email notifications are sent depending on a
selected option such as "Modified, "Viewed," or "Published." Competing
solutions offer this only on a folder level.
View log completes project
history.
View User History provides an at-a-glance chronology of users who performed any
activity on an individual document. This is especially powerful in folders that
contain rapidly changing and developing information, such as a RFI folder.
Advanced workflow expands
routing.
Defined routings quickly and easily define the sequence of individuals on a
routing schedule for a review of specific documents or communication.
Patent-pending
Technology
JobSite 2.0 includes two patent-pending, new technologies that
enable the company's XML-supported platform to facilitate future
data-level integration with enterprise systems such as accounting, estimating,
and project management applications. An X-tensible data schema
allows for user-defined objects to be added to IronSpire's web
enabled object-oriented database. X-tensible
documents allow for user-defined views to be created for the
capture and display of these new data objects.
Customization can be done continuously as team or company requirements expand.

IronSpire JobSite 2.0 is available
immediately, directly through IronSpire or through resellers. Licenses
for JobSite 2.0 are offered on a monthly project basis or as annual enterprise
