When we launch BRCM CONNECT, below dialog appears which prompts us to connect to ProjectWise. It can take a while before the software search for available datasources. This increases the time required to open the software and start working with it. Also, some users may not be integrated in a ProjectWise environment and may be working locally. For them this dialog is redundant.
