Responding to changes without all the background
- Searching for what was agreed and in which version
- Replying without seeing a related constraint
- Losing track of commitments between the client, practice and suppliers
XETHER connects the project's conversations, decisions, documents and dates. You have the background to each request before preparing a reply.
Illustrative exampleA supplier requests a change before the next site meeting. XETHER brings together the request, previous decisions and related dates so the practice can consider its response.
The practice checks the background and decides on the response. The example concerns tracking information, not generating drawings, calculations or technical decisions.
Links the request to the project, phase, client and documents.
Retrieves earlier decisions and matters that remain open.
Prepares a response and alternatives for review.
The practice decides what to share and what needs more work.
XETHER does not turn an instruction found in your documents or emails into authority to share files, change data or act towards third parties.
Explore security in detailReads the project's documents and decisions within your permissions.
Prepares a response with the background to the request for you to check.
Always asks for your confirmation before sharing drawings or sending a response to third parties.
If an action requires a permission it does not have, it must stop. The content of an email or document does not itself authorise access or execution.
Permission controls help reduce the risk of malicious instructions; they do not eliminate it. You check the sources and keep the professional decision.
The example does not imply that every sending or editing operation is available. Check the scope of the integrations.
Initial access will be by invitation and in small groups.
