EPR Architects at the Forefront of Integrated Technology

Online, August 14, 2013 (Newswire.com) - EPR Architects is a major UK architectural firm with 120 members of staff. Established over 65 years ago, the practice has a wealth of experience across a range of sectors from offices, residential, hotels and leisure to mixed-use, period buildings, master planning and interior design. Always at the forefront in technological innovation, and having made considerable investment in BIM, EPR Architects now choose Union Square to pave the way for an efficient and integrated future.

EPR Architects has custom developed systems for the majority of its information and practice management needs. The systems were developed internally around the specific processes and demands of the growing practice. With a view to continual improvement, EPR reviewed this approach and felt a more integrated system was required to drive efficiency moving forward. This decision led the organisation to Union Square for AEC Professionals.

Union Square for AEC Professionals is a web-based system that manages documents, drawing, emails, contacts and projects centrally, as well as automating and supporting business processes. Financial Controller, Ben Bacchus, explains the system's appeal. "Rather than working across a number of different systems, Union Square will allow us to do everything from one place. It encompasses project accounting, resource planning, CRM, email archiving, a drawing register and much more. This will allow us to operate more efficiently as a business."

EPR Architects will be kicking off the implementation process in a few weeks and hopes to be up and running as soon as possible. Once the roll out has been scheduled a communications plan will be implemented across the business to keep staff informed and engaged from the outset.
