Third Digital is excited to share our success story regarding the seamless migration to ProjectWise on the A46 Newark Bypass project. Our client, involved in a significant infrastructure project, required a tailored ProjectWise solution to streamline their operations and enhance collaboration among project stakeholders. We partnered closely with the client to ensure their specific needs were met, resulting in a successful and efficient transition.

Challenges Faced
The project posed several challenges, with one of the most critical being the migration of existing data into the new ProjectWise system. The client had accumulated a substantial amount of project data and documents over time, and ensuring a smooth transfer without disrupting ongoing operations was of utmost importance. Additionally, it was essential to maintain data integrity and ensure that all stakeholders had access to the correct information in the new system.
