In this webinar, Newforma will reveal new data from Dodge Data and Analytics, and share best practices in helping firms with data and workflow interoperability.
The challenge of interoperability exists in most industries, but it is challenging in construction. While the industry has made significant leaps to increase digitization, disconnected applications separate project stakeholders from their data.
In this webinar, Dr. Donna Laquidara-Carr from Dodge Data & Analytics, Michael O’Toole from engineering firm WSP, and Aaron Kivett from Newforma will reveal new data from its survey conducted with Dodge Data & Analytics, Project Information Management 2021: Current State and Future Direction for the A&E Industry. Learn how an effective Project Information Management strategy can help connect project teams to their project data to improve collaboration and decision making and increase productivity through connected workflows.
Learning Objectives:
- Environmental and technological factors creating disparate data
- Consequences of technology and data disjointedness
- Real-world examples of interoperability
- What’s next — how can firms connect their project data?
