Architectural practices recognise that applying digital processes to their business and projects can enable their practice to be more competitive and effectively manage larger and more complex projects.
Yet adoption of new technologies has been slow. That’s because the complexity of the technology landscape in the built environment makes selecting the right systems daunting. It’s a commitment that needs careful consideration for long-term strategic benefits for your business, employees and partners.
Rachel Tilleyshort of Elevation Architecture, Peter Caune of Ashburner Francis Engineering Consultancy and our MC, Richard Staines, Business Development Manager of Deltek, discuss their digital journeys, the challenges their businesses have faced, and the tangible benefits technology can deliver.
Our speakers will share their experiences and learnings as they discuss:
- The key challenges
- How to construct a technology strategy
- The journey to find a solution and the benefits
- Guidance in managing project risks and uncertainties from initiation to completion
- How implementing one integrated system for project information management and project accounting can improve efficiencies, collaboration and culture across your practice
- How to prepare for digital transformation and change management to ensure you have all staff on-board
- What you need to consider before investing in technology – type of environment you are in, cloud vs server, security, latency
