MDOT manages hundreds of projects simultaneously each year, involving engineers, planners, and various staff from MDOT and other governmental agencies, as well as contractors and consultants from the private sector. MDOT will use SiteScape Forum to collaborate on the design of M-59, a major Michigan roadway. The construction of the roadway will be a complex project involving numerous traffic maintenance and design considerations. To assign tasks and track project issues and documents, the agency will rely heavily on SiteScape Forum's document management, threaded discussions, workflow and email notification features.

"SiteScape Forum is very easy to use, and we anticipate that MDOT and its external business partners will reap many benefits from the implementation of SiteScape products," said Julie Gee, IT Project Manager for the EDMS Web Project. "This will provide a single, secure, source for project information and documents, which will significantly reduce the time to perform project assignments," said Kurt Coduti, MDOT University Region Delivery Engineer. "It will also reduce our travel, copying, printing and mailing costs." Project co-sponsor and MDOT's Chief Development Engineer, John Polasek, expects the collaboration software to improve project teamwork and satisfaction by giving project team members access to the information they need, and an easy way to collaborate with colleagues.

"SiteScape is proud to provide Michigan's Department of Transportation with our cutting edge technology to better serve their employees, business partners and, ultimately, their constituents," said Brian Hays, CEO of SiteScape. "As Web collaboration becomes the solution to remote office coordination challenges, MDOT's use of SiteScape Forum demonstrates why the agency is widely recognized as a leader in the public sector."
