Kenesto is a cloud storage solution tailored for managing documents related to engineering, design, and construction. It provides a cost-effective alternative to traditional enterprise PDM software, featuring automatic file locking, version control, and vaulting capabilities, along with advanced 2D/3D viewing and web-based design review tools that are absent in standard consumer cloud platforms such as Dropbox and Google Drive. This system functions like a mounted drive within the customer's office environment, ensuring a centralized and reliable source of data in the cloud. By implementing file locking mechanisms, it effectively prevents users from inadvertently overwriting each other’s work. Additionally, all files are preserved indefinitely, offering peace of mind regarding data longevity. The interface mimics the familiar layout of Windows Explorer, allowing users to organize files and folders just like they would on their local C Drive. Kenesto also facilitates workflow management and task assignments, and it offers a complimentary SolidWorks plugin for enhanced usability. Furthermore, every file is encrypted and securely stored in AWS S3, ensuring robust data protection and compliance. This comprehensive solution not only enhances collaborative efforts but also streamlines the overall document management process within engineering and construction teams.
