The challenges facing business today are more acute than ever.
Projects, products, designs and documentation are all needed earlier,
to a higher quality, at a lower cost.
Design Change Management. Familiar, easy, powerful
The greater the delay in assessing potential design
changes within the project or product design cycle, the
more significant the potential impact on the delivery date
or cost; or both.
Design changes impact not only the designers but
many other parties; consultants, construction managers,
surveyors, clients and suppliers. Each design phase
resulting in a formal distribution of information involves a
The advent of the internet and the expectation of real time
interactions and collaboration place a substantial burden on
every member of the design, project or product team.
Efficiencies are gained through the controlled and
automated distribution of design information to all parties,
internal or external.
Manage All File Types
Any type of file can be securely managed
due to Esiora®’s Explorer® based technology.
The Explorer interface provides integration
with all applications.
Folder & File Cards
With a fully configurable interface, Esiora® allows
you to define what properties relate to your files.
Search & Report Tools
The search facility gives a user quick and
dynamic access to documents or drawings
whilst providing an interactive reporting platform.

communication challenge, proof of delivery and further
consultation on the basis of the feedback received.
Design Change Management software puts design
documentation at the centre of the solution. Esiora® enables
organisations to better manage all outgoing and incoming
documents, drawings and data including change requests,
project information and contractual documentation.
Secure File Vault
All files and data are stored within a Secure File
Vault requiring a user to have both the Esiora®
software installed and a network login in order
to access files and their associated meta-data.
Templates
The Esiora® template builder allows an
organisation to define how certain types of
documents, such as letters, forms, faxes and
drawings are to be created.
To deliver the savings and added value your customers demand, your
people require the tools that will help them work more productively
and support business process improvements.
The need for Design Change Management software
is most pronounced at the initial concept and outline
design phases of a project. Numerous iterations
occur before designs can be viewed as final and
complete. Large volumes of information will be created
and distributed in drawings, documents, e-mails,
specifications, forms, and contracts.
Familiar Interface
Esiora® is not a standalone application but an
extension to Windows Explorer®. As such, it
delivers an extraordinary wealth of powerful
Document Control features in a familiar way.
Email Manager
Allows an organisation to define rules on
where emails are to be stored within the vault.
Esiora Windows® embedded within the ubiquitious Microsoft
Windows Explorer® interface provides a familiar, simple to use,
yet powerful drawing and document management platform. The
enhanced user appeal and extensive management capabilities
has convinced organisations across the globe to select Esiora®
technology and implement the software throughout their enterprise.
Enhanced CAD Integration
Support for CAD applications is a key
component of any Design Change
Management Solution. Esiora® provides a
wide variety of key features including viewing,
titleblock links and reference management.

Reference Management
Most CAD applications utilise References in
some way whether that is simply one drawing
referenced into another or a complex part and
assembly relationship. Esiora® understands these
relationships and manages the impact of change.
Workflow Management
Understanding the current status of project
documents and drawings is challenging. The
workflow capabilities within Esiora® provide
information relative to the documents lifecycle
with full reporting capabilities.
Advanced Autonumbering
Advanced Autonumbering provides support
for automatic drawing & document filename
generation based on user input and vault
location. For example: Esiora® will calculate
a new drawing number based on a project
number and type of drawing.
Contact Manager
Esiora® adds contact management functionality
to your vault configuration. Contact Manager
allows a user to add, remove and edit contacts
then pre-populate addresses, telephone and
fax numbers within documents and forms.

Change Control
Change Audit Trail
By virtue of the Check In/Check Out
capabilities, Esiora® controls file change,
recording who changed what file, when and
why. The complete change history is recorded
and accessible by users.
User & Group Rights
The dynamic approach to folder and file access
delivers a comprehensive and controlled
environment in which drawings and documents
can be viewed, created and modified only by
those users with the correct authority.
Enterprise Scalability
The ability to replicate file data across the
enterprise provides a scalable platform for any
multi-site organisation. Vault replication delivers
speedy and efficient file access performance
with a centrally managed database.
The amount of file storage required by organisations is
rising at an exponential rate. At the same time, finding
the correct drawing, document or email quickly and easily
is an ever more daunting challenge. Esiora Windows®
extensive search tool delivers the files you need in
seconds, wherever the file is located.
The complex nature of CAD drawings, frequently
involving externally referenced drawings, parts or
assemblies, can be a management nightmare even
for the most competent CAD user. Esiora Windows®
provides the user all the information they need to
maintain control of all types of CAD references to
leverage the extensive benefits they provide.
CAD Connectors: AutoCAD®, Autodesk® Inventor™,
Autodesk® Revit®, Bentley Microstation®, SolidWorks®.
As designs evolve, keeping track of the endless stream
of changes is very challenging and time consuming.
Invariably multiple copies of the same files are stored
with similar names leading to confusion, and potential
delay. Esiora Windows® makes it simple to understand
the detailed version change history: who did what,
when and why.

Status Reporting Server
Status Reporting provides an overview on
the progression of project related drawings &
documents during the project. Status Reporting
Server provides a real time report listing planned

PDF Conversion Server
As part of a fully automated release process,
the application controls the conversion of
drawings & documents into PDF format
triggered either manually or as part of a
workflow process.
Emails are normally stored in a separate location to other
project documentation, making it much harder to locate
the information you need (eg Microsoft Outlook®). Esiora
Windows® automates the placement of project emails in
the same central, shared location alongside all your other
project drawings, documents, forms, etc.
An electronic workflow provides a powerful mechanism
to link together individuals or groups, wherever they
are located, to support integrated working methods.
Additional benefits include the ability to identify
workload bottlenecks, create progress reports and
automate interaction with other software applications
such as uploading documents to Microsoft SharePoint®,
creating PDFs on the fly or sending an email.

‘The key reasons why d2m3 stood apart
from the competition was that they were very
approachable, had very detailed knowledge of
their subject area and always came back with
solutions to any issues that we threw at them.’
Gordon Miller - BT Operate

solutions down to the 2 strongest contenders.
