Digital Transformation of Engineering and Technical Workflow as a Factor of the Enterprise Economic Activity Optimization in Construction Industry[Цифровая Трансформация Инженерно-Технического Документооборота Как Фактор Оптимизации Экономической Деятельности Предприятия Строительной Отрасли]

Introduction of the systems of electronic engineering and technical and organisational workflow is currently considered as one of the effective tools to digitalize management of business process of construction industry enterprises to increase their efficiency and competitiveness in a dynamically developing business environment. The necessity to build digital infrastructure to manage the flows of structured digital information about the capital construction object at the stages of its life cycle is primarily due to the transition trend to use information modeling technology implemented at the state level. The purpose of the study is to analyze the specifics of the workflow of enterprises in the field of architectural and construction design and to study the possibilities of implementing the processes of its digital transformation based on introduction of import–independent specialized software products of domestic production. The analysis of current state of the enterprises corporate management systems of project products circulation, internal coordination logistics and external interaction of the participants of investment and construction projects revealed inefficiency and significant shortcomings of traditional format of document management. This allowed making conclusion about the necessity to use specialized software for managing engineering and technical data, since traditional electronic document management systems and ECM systems do not allow taking into account the highlighted features. Business and functional requirements formulated in the course of the study for the systems of this class and functionality analysis of Russian TDMS Farvater (Fairway) system for compliance with these requirements allowed to conclude that digitization of engineering and technical data management processes within the framework of the general trend of digital transformation will optimize the economic activity of construction industry enterprise by reducing the costs of document management and deadlines of investment and construction projects. The highlighted requirements for technical data management information system can be used in the development of import-independent software products of this class. The description of the TDMS Farvater (Fairway) functionality and its integration mechanisms in creating of unified information technology environment of shared data can become a methodological basis to form corporate digital ecosystem for managing digitized information flows and configuring interaction routes and synchronization of internal and external document flow in a single interface.
