Has anyone any experience with Electronic Construction Management System (eCMS)? How hard was it to learn? How hard to use? Was is useful software from the AE's point of view (good tracking or outstanding RFIs or submittals; dates when items received by the AE and returned by the AE; etc.)?

Sounds it Navy's version of Army's Resident Management System?
As a spec writer, I don't see how you might be directly involved in the system?
As spec writer on recent Army projects, I only needed to read the user guide to understand that I needed to export the submittals register as a text file, that in turn was uploaded to the "system" by the Gov't...something that no one on the Gov't side didn't seem to understand.

I will be working on the CCA phase, not on specs. eCMS will be used to process RFIs and Submittals.

I just ran into the RMS head on a project I'm working on. RMS and SpecsIntact don't always play well together on the submittal codes and Reviewer ID's in particular on D/B. As a specifier, make sure you get agreement from all the parties what submittals they are looking for and at what level so you don't have to go through every section to change the classification code right before the final submittal.
BTW it's exporting the register to Excel not text in SpecsIntact.
