CARPINTERIA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Procore Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: PCOR), a leading provider of construction management software, today announced multiple platform updates to further meet the needs of its global customers — from document control to data and privacy enhancements. Used in over 125 countries, Procore’s platform is continually advancing to provide customers with everything they need to meet business and security needs worldwide.

“Procore builds software for the people who build the world,” said Tooey Courtemanche, Procore founder and CEO. “Our platform enhancements for customizability, security, privacy, storage, and collaborative document management will benefit both existing and new customers as we continue to expand internationally.”
Collaborative Document Management Goes Global
Procore is taking its world-class document solution global to improve how the industry collaborates on construction documents across all project stakeholders. This is often a fragmented and inefficient process with construction teams using multiple disconnected solutions for versioning, markup, and workflow management. In 2020, 90 million documents were uploaded to the Procore platform. Procore’s new collaborative document management solution, coming soon, will offer a more flexible and configurable approach, making it easier and faster to access and collaborate on documents. It will provide customers with an integrated markup experience, offer custom approval workflows with granular file level permissions, and provide a solution that helps them meet common data environment (CDE) requirements and ISO compliance standards.
“We use Procore to manage documents on our projects and to digitise our inspections and snagging processes,” said Philip Lambourne MSc MCIOB, head of design and information management at Henry Boot Construction Limited in the UK. “The level of support Procore offered with configuring the platform and its usability was largely the reason behind our decision to select them. The support provided is vital, not only for our internal employees but for all our supply chain partners.”
“For all Procore customers around the world, this will provide a single location for all project documents, from preconstruction through closeout, and can only be accomplished with a true platform offering unlimited users, unlimited data and unlimited collaboration on every project,” said Wyatt Jenkins, Procore’s Senior Vice President of Product.
Global Cloud Infrastructure and Security Features to Meet Global Needs
Procore has expanded its global infrastructure with 11 new cloud data centers for file storage, now 15 in total, that allow customers to store certain project data locally, while also improving the speed and performance of the platform. Procore provides enterprise grade security and privacy features such as data encryption-at-rest, managed bug bounty program, strict access control policies, and more. Procore solutions can assist customers in meeting their data privacy and governance requirements, including GDPR, California’s Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and Australia’s Privacy Act of 1988 — learn more here.
Platform Flexibility and Global Enhancements Drive Customer Success
With feedback from global customers, Procore is building customization into the platform to meet the diverse needs of customers around the world. Whether building an inspection test plan in Australia or contractual correspondence in Germany, Procore’s customizable platform flexes to support regional business needs. Custom and Configurable fields are now supported by every product across the platform.
For Dean Hopkins, chief operations officer at Oxford Properties, “Procore is a big part of creating a global development platform, where we can benefit from what teams in Australia are doing and learning, and that can actually translate to what we’re doing in North America on projects, and then also to our teams in Europe on projects. Procore is at the center of collaboration that activates this global pool of expertise.”
Industry Votes Procore as Top Construction Platform Solution
Procore was recently named the tenth best software company in the world on The Software Report’s list of 100 Top Software Companies of 2021, and received top honors from G2 in eight categories of software: construction management, construction project management, bid management, construction ERP, construction drawing management, construction accounting, punch list, and jobsite management software.
To learn more about these platform enhancements, register and join Procore virtually at Groundbreak, the company’s annual conference being held October 12-14.

The way the human resources (HR) department works has changed over time. Especially since the pandemic, companies had to adopt a remote/hybrid work model and HR professionals had to find ways to recruit, hire, engage, and manage employees virtually.
In the pre-pandemic world, HR professionals had to manage issues related to attracting top talent, retaining high-performing staff, and boosting employee engagement. With the new remote/hybrid work model, they now have additional responsibilities of supporting employees’ mental and physical health along with ensuring a seamless remote work experience.
HR software tools can ease these pain points by helping the HR team onboard new hires virtually, manage remote teams, and track the performance of remote employees. These tools also provide self-service portals that employees can use to access or update relevant information without assistance from an HR professional.
In addition, the capability to automate administrative tasks and integrate with applications such as learning management, expense report, and time and attendance management systems has made core HR management software a must-have for organizations—big or small.

Documentation and knowledge resources save organizations money, enhance customer satisfaction, and increase product adoption and loyalty. With proper documentation, help desks can offer timely and consistent customer support and empower users to expand their capabilities with a software product.
But despite its importance, documentation can be problematic for DevOps projects. Iterative development paradigms yield frequent changes and updates, and translating them into timely documentation demands constant attention to detail to avoid introducing errors and knowledge gaps. DevOps teams must adopt the practices and tools needed to provide up-to-date, comprehensive software documentation to the help desk.
Help desks are the first point of contact between a user and an organization’s resources. In most cases, help desks offer support for the infrastructure, endpoints and applications a business provides to its clientele. There are three main types of help desks:
Help desks can provide a mix of human interaction, automated responses, and access to tools and documentation — but there aren’t guidelines that define or require any of these components. Consequently, every help desk setup is different, offering a unique mix of resources tailored to the needs of its organization and users.
Some help desks allow round-the-clock access to tools, documentation and a searchable knowledge base, but restrict human assistance services via chat, email and phone to regular business hours. Another type of help desk, commonly known as a self-service desk, concentrates exclusively on documentation and knowledge resources.
Regardless of its type and resources, a help desk generally performs the following four major functions:
A key part of any help desk is documentation. Up-to-date, well-prepared documentation is a time- and cost-effective resource that answers a vast array of questions for users at any time. Even businesses with little or no live help desk staffing can provide user assistance through comprehensive, searchable documentation. A typical help desk includes four major product or service documentation categories: documents, knowledge articles, videos and forums.
A comprehensive help desk can also include resources beyond documentation:
Help desks are primarily responsible for handling IT-related incidents, such as troubleshooting and bug fixes. Service desks, in contrast, provide support and guidance for more routine or less acute issues and user requests. For example, a service desk might assign endpoint devices, such as laptops, and create SaaS accounts during employee onboarding. Service desks are often viewed as “help desk lite” or as a subset of help desks.
In practice, help desk and service desk are sometimes used interchangeably. Although experts might debate the technical accuracy of this use, the difference between the two is often a matter of interpretation, as there are no clear or broadly adopted requirements for help or service desks. The definitions, components and capabilities of support resources vary greatly across organizations.
While service desks might offer the same types of documentation available through a help desk, their noncritical nature often leads to an emphasis on how-to and self-service content. For example, a service desk might offer guides or videos on how to use DevOps or third-party applications that the service desk has configured for the user.
Help and service desks provide documentation for products and services, including documents, knowledge articles, videos and forums.
Although documentation is rarely included in the DevOps cycle, it’s a crucial part of any software release. Commits and sprints happen fast, but DevOps teams should always take the time to document changes and additions to upcoming versions.
There are no standards or requirements for documentation tools — DevOps teams can use anything from Microsoft Word to wikis to create suitable documents for a new build. However, some commonly used tools can accelerate and automate parts of the documentation process:
Documentation has a shelf life — it demands regular attention and management from help and service desk teams. The collaboration efforts common to DevOps often include help and service desk teams that can offer insights into the availability and quality of existing documentation.
Documentation management efforts could include the following:
Documentation lifecycles are notoriously short in busy DevOps environments. This is especially true early in product development, when software changes and additions arrive rapidly — sometimes daily. But software product adoption can hinge on solid documentation, which makes it essential for DevOps teams to create accurate, complete and up-to-date documentation.
Part of: DevOps documentation management
Your IT organization’s pre-DevOps documentation practices aren’t cutting it. Improve speed, accuracy and quality — and don’t leave it for last.
Automation can improve workflows, even when it comes to documentation. However, the process isn’t foolproof. Here’s what you need to know to get started.
SRE documentation stands distinct from other types of IT documentation, not least because it’s a core responsibility for site reliability engineers. What else makes it distinct?
Creating accurate, up-to-date documentation for help desks is critical to software development and adoption — but it also poses challenges for DevOps organizations.
