Technology and products

AgilePort and MetaField FIMS/LIMS

AgilePort is an SDMS-like software system that provides document management functionality for architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) firms. Like an SDMS, it allows full searches across the text of contained documents, location-based searches, and other searching options. The software also offers draft tracking, versioning, retention scheduling, and alerts.^[2]

MetaField is a field information management system (FIMS) with a complete laboratory information management system (LIMS) module that can handle "a broad variety of materials and test regimes."^[3] The company states that as a whole, the combined MetaField software "serves the needs of multidisciplinary civil, engineering, testing, and environmental consulting firms that conduct significant operations in the field and in the lab where the remote gathering of testing information, materials samples, special inspections, discrepancy management and construction observation data is required."^[4] The company offers the software under the software as a service distribution model.

Features

The following feature list(s) is/are derived solely from public, freely-available online information the vendor provides. A lack of a "Y" does not necessarily mean that the product doesn't have that feature. The lack of a "Y" could mean:

the vendor chose to not put relevant feature information online despite its existence in the product.
the vendor chooses to make the feature information available only to those who create an account or call/e-mail.
the feature information exists online to the public, but a URL could not be found to cite the existence of the feature.
the feature does not exist for the product.

A vendor's product may receive more confirmed features with the addition of more public information to the vendor's site and/or by providing a URL to a page or document that can act as a citation for the existence of the feature. Prospective buyers are highly recommended to contact the vendor directly to verify features as this list isn't authoritative, and product upgrades and changes happen rapidly in some cases.
