In this free educational webinar CIMdata will present findings from a recent research survey of Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) professionals.
ANN ARBOR, Michigan, 6 September 2016—CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, announces an upcoming free educational webinar, “Transforming AEC – Obstacles and Opportunities.” The webinar will take place on October 13, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. (EDT).
Despite the wide adoption of BIM in AEC, the industry remains fragmented, and the benefits of new technologies and processes have not yet been fully realized in construction, operations, and maintenance. During this webinar CIMdata will review findings from a recent research survey of AEC professionals and provide attendees with a perspective on how to transform current practices to address the challenges.
According to the webinar host, CIMdata’s Director for AEC/Manufacturing Convergence, Ed Martin, “CIMdata’s research and consulting shows that the AEC industry suffers from fragmentation across different disciplines, and that the industry is paying the price in the form of economic inefficiencies and project delays. Although solutions are available to help solve these problems, making the case for change can be challenging. This webinar aims to help attendees identify where they can achieve practical improvement, and how to start on the road to improvement.”
Mr. Martin has over 35 years of PLM and manufacturing industry experience in the disciplines of product development, manufacturing automation, lean manufacturing, and systems engineering. During his career he has held engineering and management roles in the manufacturing industry, including positions at General Motors and Delphi. Prior to joining CIMdata, Mr. Martin was with a leading PLM solution provider where he applied his engineering and manufacturing knowledge to build an automotive industry practice and then to lead a product team focused on production and fabrication technologies including the integration of BIM and manufacturing information for greenfield and brownfield facility projects.
The webinar will be an hour long and will share: the characteristics of top performers in the AEC industry; the obstacles to change and how to overcome them; how to take advantage of new technologies; areas where the potential benefits are greatest; how to justify process change; and CIMdata’s analysis of industry trends.
The webinar will be useful to BIM managers, project delivery managers, VDC managers, digital engineering managers, construction managers, facilities managers, sales engineers, IT leadership, PLM team leaders, PLM team members, product managers, solution providers, and anyone who wants to learn more about the opportunity to improve AEC technologies and processes.
During the webinar attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions about the topics discussed.
