Newforma Project Center vs SKYSITE

Newforma Project Center is an on-premise Project Information Management solution for architecture, engineering, construction, and owner/operator firms. It brings project data and email from applications, platforms, and storage locations into a centralized view where teams can search for information. Project email can be accessible and searchable to the whole team. Document-control tools support issuing packages, managing revisions, and tracking status; the Contract Management Edition automates workflows for RFIs, submittals, and change orders. Project Center Connectors exchange information with existing tools and feed the centralized view. Listed integrations include Autodesk ACC, BIM 360, Revit, Navisworks, Microsoft 365, SharePoint Online, Procore, Bluebeam Studio, Bentley ProjectWise, and others. Communication between Project Center Servers and Info Exchange is encrypted with digital certificates. Clients must be connected to a Project Center Server and do not work without an active connection. Mobile apps are free to download, but customers need Tenth Edition or higher to use them; each app may be used on one project at no charge, while additional projects require an applicable subscription unless unlimited access is provided. Pricing is on request.

SKYSITE provides cloud document management and distribution for construction projects and business operations. Its Projects product supports document sharing and markups, RFIs, submittals, and punch lists. Document changes sync across team devices, while advanced search and OCR-assisted drawing navigation help users locate project information. The service is geared toward general contractors, designers, and builder/owners. Archives adds OCR-enabled search, custom indexing, document retention timelines, and digital form management. iOS and Android apps provide mobile access, including offline access to archived documents. An Outlook add-in can sync and archive project email, and SKYSITE links to separate API resources for Projects and Archives. Full-access collaborative seats in Projects are paid, while read-only users are free. Projects plans start at $19 a month, billed per month, with unlimited storage and sheets; Enterprise requires at least 10 users. SKYSITE states that it uses TLS 1.2 for data in transit and 256-bit AES for stored data.
