AEC Profiles - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

THE PROBLEM

1. Knowledge workers are spending 50-80% of their time searching for information to perform their work.

2. Mobile, decentralized, contract work forces require a better way to oversee the work.

The design and construction industry (one of the many industries we support) is a good example of these challenges because they have struggled with mobile transient work forces for a long time. A primary reason it is one of the most inefficient industries world-wide. Communications, collaborations, knowledge sharing, cooperative planning and problem solving all need to be improved. This is the only way for productivity to go up and wasteful errors to go down, but project teams are spread out and they all work for different companies. Teams need a system to keep everyone on the same page. Communications can only be improved with a plan that everyone can understand and an

app everyone can use. Profiling work by project, vendor and person will help everyone stay on the same page reducing risk and improving productivity.

When employees or contract partners leave, so does the knowledge and

learnings from their work. Companies need a strategy to retain the knowledge from the work they have

paid for. Knowledge is difficult to capture because it is obtained individually and transferred conversationally.

Learnings from most work is spread across many emails, texts, documents and apps, from each project.

We create a standard approach to capture all details, content, learnings, etc. – collectively

“knowledge”, on all projects for the organization. This makes it easy to: learn from all projects, oversee many projects and understand the work history of everyone in just a few clicks. Capturing work knowledge from every team becomes a simple, regular activity done by the team members as they work.

AEC is a communications, content and knowledge sharing application used for organizing and

distributing any kind of information. It’s an easy way to share the work history of each project so others

can be more productive and knowledgeable. Transparency of the work is a game changer. This

allows all stakeholders to better understand current and previous project work. The learnings, advice and

knowledge are indexed and easily searchable for future use. Partners and vendors are able to convey their work, advice and perspective on any project. This allows them to be remembered even after they leave.

Anyone working on a project can create “posts” about their work (status, updates, milestones, scope of work, pictures, issues, learnings, advice etc.). This creates a “crowd-sourced”, real-time knowledge base of the work being delivered. Through this process, standardized profiles become a Directory of all current and previous project work. Others can discover, learn and collaborate, or simply “follow” the work progress.

All knowledge workers need to be able to work autonomously. This is a key component of

organizational and project productivity. Work profiling creates an efficient way for all workers to teach

and learn from each other’s work. Organizing conversations and content into 1 profile allows anyone to understand any “story” of work quickly. Profiles become reusable assets for everyone to benefit from.

This can be deployed very quickly. Historical project information and content is easy to import with data loaders. User and administrator training times are short and the cost is low. This makes AEC helpful for collaboration across all verticals and newly purchased companies.
