Overview

Integration of Applications and Processes

The InEight Cloud Platform performs the primary function of turning disparate data into connected data through a common data environment. Companies using InEight’s integrated solutions gain improved ability to collect, manage and report against data, which drives efficiencies in execution. 

Connecting and sharing data between all InEight applications involved in managing a project allows project management workflows to pass between jobsite, field office, and front office seamlessly within a consistent and standardized user interface.

The InEight portfolio of products run on the Microsoft Azure platform, which has data centers throughout the world.

Key project information can also be exchanged with 3^rd-party applications such as ERP systems (i.e., SAP, Oracle), scheduling applications (i.e., Primavera), and document management applications (i.e., SharePoint) via configurable integration points. 

Along with connecting applications, InEight Platform is the underlying administrative system for the InEight product applications. When you first launch the InEight suite of applications, you start out in Platform. From here you can navigate to the other InEight applications that your company has purchased, and have been given permissions to access.

Data Management

InEight Platform is so named because all InEight applications use it as the storage area for master data to be retrieved by all applications. Master data for user management, roles and permissions, application integrations, organization and project settings, and more is located and managed in Platform, and made available to other applications as necessary.

This data used by the InEight applications is organized and stored under Suite administration, Master data libraries, Organization settings, and Project settings that can be accessed from the Main menu.

Cross-Platform Functionality

If you work in more than one of InEight applications, you will find some common functionality that exists regardless of the application you are using.

Cross-Platform Functions
Communications	Some tasks performed in the InEight applications will trigger notifications to occur, either in the application itself or sent via email.
Document Management	This includes internal document management with InEight Document, as well as integrations with 3rd-party document management solutions such as SharePoint.
Log Management	Within various InEight applications, you will find audit logs that provide an audit trail of user activity and transactions performed.
