Designed to enhance engineering document management productivity and support effective document control and adoption, the focus is on open, overdue, and closed documents by project.

Seamless Transition. Same Power. New Experience.

Assai Connect and Assai Web use the same data and the same underlying environment.
You can switch between them at any time without migration or reconfiguration.

Assai Web remains available alongside Connect. This ensures a smooth transition as teams adopt the new interface at their own pace.
