  1. ProjectWise V8i OverviewPart 2 Gary Cochrane Technical Director – Geospatial Sales NAOU

  2. Review primary modules • Each solution is comprised of one or more of the following server modules • PW Integration Server • PW Caching Server • PW Web Server • PW Web View Server • PW Publishing Server • PW InterPlot Server

  3. PW “Classic” Configuration

  4. ProjectWise Web Server • Optional component included in most deployments • Provides basic content management functionality • Log-in, search, modify properties, simple check-out • No reference file support, title block support, workspace support, etc. • In order to view drawings from browser • Requires addition of ProjectWise Publishing Server • Intended for “casual” users, not power users • Still requires PW Passport license to access

  5. Multiple Web Configurations • With V8i Edition, PW Web Server supports two configurations: • Standard Microsoft IIS Web Servers • User organization designs their web pages, and incorporates PW Web parts using ASPX • Microsoft SharePoint Web Servers • User Organization designs their web pages, and incorporates PW Web parts using SharePoint design tools • In either case, organization purchases PW Web Server

  6. What SharePoint is… • SharePoint is a collaboration tool from Microsoft • Allows an organization to quickly/easily build interactive web collaboration sites • Included with Windows 2003 Server • So basically, it’s free for internal use • For External Use • Must purchase SharePoint Portal server • As a collaboration tool, SharePoint provides: • Calendars, lists, tasks, discussions… • And yes, it also provides limited document management

  7. What SharePoint is not… • SharePoint is not an Engineering Content Management solution • No MicroStation or AutoCAD integration • No Integration with Bentley vertical applications • No plotting integration • No Indexing / full text search (for CAD files) • No distributed storage • All files stored on SharePoint server • No publishing / web viewing of CAD documents

  8. Our goal with SharePoint • Keep the engineering content stored in ProjectWise • And allow it to be accessed from a SharePoint collaboration site • But, don’t do it by copying (duplicating) the files to SharePoint

  9. Microsoft IIS Web Configuration ProjectWise Integration Server ProjectWise Web Server ProjectWise Browser User ProjectWise Integration Server ProjectWise Web Server Microsoft Internet Explorer ProjectWise Publishing Server Microsoft IIS Web Server Windows Server Operating System Windows XP, or Vista Windows Server Operation System

  10. SharePoint Web Configuration ProjectWise Integration Server ProjectWise Web Server ProjectWise Integration Server Microsoft Internet Explorer ProjectWise Publishing Server Windows Server Operating System Windows XP O/S Windows Server Operation System

  11. SharePoint Web Configuration ProjectWise Integration Server ProjectWise Web Server ProjectWise Webparts Client ProjectWise Integration Server ProjectWise WebParts Server Microsoft Internet Explorer ProjectWise Publishing Server ProjectWise InterPlot Server Microsoft SharePoint Web Server Windows Server Operating System Windows XP or Vista Windows Server Operation System

  12. Demo • Overview of 2 clients • ProjectWise Explorer • ProjectWise SharePoint Web client

  13. Introducing ProjectWise StartPoint • ProjectWise “Lite” • No ProjectWise Server technology involved • Therefore no advanced functionality • Uses Microsoft SharePoint as the back-end • Allows MicroStation to edit files stored in SharePoint • Also supports AutoCAD • Intended for very small workgroups

  14. PW StartPoint Positioning • No ProjectWise Server technology • Therefore no server cost • Client requires PW Passport • MicroStation users on SELECT get PW Passport • Therefore no client cost for MicroStation users • Possible revenue opportunity for AutoCAD users • Since they don’t have a PW Passport
