“I am excited to add two robust construction products (c.docs & Facilify) to our portfolio of SharePoint Solutions. Built from significant investment over years, these products are ‘best in class’ for both the management of construction projects (c.docs) as well as providing a living and breathing operations and maintenance solution (Facilify) that’s easily integrated with other complimentary products,” states Rich Kurz, Ascendum Solutions General Manager. “We are looking forward to incorporating our intellectual property (IP) to improve these products right away as well as working with Turner and other customers to meet more and more of the demands in the construction market,” Kurz added.

The company plans to leverage this technology to assist construction and facilities management organizations, improve project delivery, ensure compliance and better control costs in both construction and facilities management.
