FASTTAC fits these criteria and we are eager to offer this solution to our customers.”

With FASTTAC’s patented technology, all project team members instantly benefit from the automated distribution of digital drawings and documents which was historically distributed on an as needed basis by the construction manager. FASTTAC users obtain a complete set of contract documents and ongoing updates by simply clicking one button that automatically places updated drawings and documents exactly where the user found the previous revision on the user’s PC. These capabilities enable FASTTAC to go far beyond other simple electronic access methods for construction drawings and documents such as shared drives, FTP sites and Plan Rooms. The ease-of-use and speed with which FASTTAC users can access and navigate between drawings quickly results in FASTTAC becoming the “go-to” location for contract documents used on construction projects greatly improving productivity and reducing project risk.

About SE Blueprint

SE Blueprint has been servicing the Cleveland area reprographics industry since 1990. Innovation has always been a cornerstone of SE Blueprint’s culture. In 1998, SE Blueprint significantly enhanced its management team by hiring two veteran reprographic industry executives in Kevin R. Anderson and Karen B. Bialosky. With a combined experience of over 20 years in Cleveland reprographics at that time, Karen and Kevin brought extensive sales and management expertise to SE Blueprint. In 2000 SE Blueprint became the first Cleveland area reprographics company to open an operation in Akron by acquiring Grico. Later that year, SE Blueprint pioneered the digital age of reprographics by introducing Plancycle™ to its customers. For more information on SE Blueprint, visit http://www.plancycle.com/
