Archetype provides simple solutions for your every day document issues and understands your needs. Archetype works the way you do. Archetype is designed specifically for design offices. It understands how you work, the way documents are produced and the way the information in the documents needs to be managed. Each module has the functionality you need. For example, the Drawing Register manages drawing revisions, drawing issues, drawing status, etc.
Archetype has more than 45 modules (some listed on the left, use the links to find out more about each module) that help you produce and manage documents and the information contained in them.
Unlike other document management systems, which require the document to be produced and then registered in the system, ARCHETYPE focuses on the production of the document and automatically registers it for you.
Document management systems that rely on the user registering a document after or during its production generally fail because the user fails to register it (`I am too busy, I will do it later') or registers it incorrectly. Also they do not address the issues of producing the document, e.g. consistent formatting to a house style and reuse of existing information, but rely on the user knowing which templates (if any) to use, what document references should be used, what information should it contain, what file name to give it, where should it be stored, etc. ARCHETYPE automatically registers documents as they are produced.
Any system which is not a part of the process is doomed to failure. Archetype is a part of your every day work processes. Creating a schedule, creating a drawing issue sheet, keeping the drawing register up to date, all are easier with Archetype.
