Abstract

A system includes an aggregation engine that initiates a first interface module in response to a first request from a first user that indicates a first type of project information. The aggregation engine also receives, via the first interface module, the first type of project information and stores the first type of project information in a memory. The system additionally includes a workflow engine that initiates one or more workflows that indicate certain project information requested by an external group. The workflow engine retrieves, from the memory and based upon the initiated one or more workflows, a first subset of the first type of project information and formats the first subset of project information according to the workflow. The system also includes an export engine that transmits the formatted first subset of project information to the external group according to the initiated one or more workflows.
