Our Experience

Prolog Connect is a unique platform offering from a major Vendor in the AEC software space. This is the best effort we have seen at extending an existing application to bring robust collaboration and integration capabilities to an existing application. While there are an array of new web based software applications, this offering enables a huge community of existing Prolog Manager users great flexibility without a major retooling or change in the way their core users work. For new customers it will enable them to use the same industry proven Prolog Manager product while reserving the option for flexible expansion when the timing and investment makes sense.
