There are several methods.  The easiest is to create a Guest Project using 3PDirect.  ImageSite then sends an email with authentication credentials to the third party who can only see the files you have assigned to them.  Depending on the settings they may also be able to markup, download, and print.

Method 2 – send them a transmittal with the files attached. You’ll get a confirmation email back and you can track the versions and the dates sent.

Method 3 – Use our Cloud Engine-Box system and synch your ImageSite with the Cloud system.  You can upload/download only the files you want the third party to have access to.  The system will synchronize the two repositories while tracking all third-party interactions.

Use ImageSite's Event subsystem to determine who has logged into the system during a period.  The Event data can be downloaded using the CSV export button.

There is no restriction on the number or size of files for the system.  Note, however, a 500 MB file downloaded with an Internet speed of 40 Mbps down will take 100 seconds to download.

The system follows NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) guidelines and meets other guidelines such as ITAR, and NERC/CIP.

ImageSite pricing depends on various factors, including the type of implementation, the number of users, and licensing type.  eQuorum is dedicated to maintaining highly competitive pricing, which is why ImageSite costs a fraction of our leading competitors’ prices.  Smaller engineering organizations have the right to use the same productivity tools as larger companies, so pricing has to be appropriate for all sized organizations.

We understand a document management system is used in part to reduce costs by improving the productivity of your workers.  Most companies have a positive return on investment within the first year, making the system enticing for organizations looking to better manage engineering design costs.
