Webinar Summary
We are pleased to share this Intranet Tour of Dottie, TowerPinkster’s Synthesis 6 intranet. Our tour guide will be Jill Overacker.
High-quality project information empowers AEC firms to compete more effectively and learn from their past work. Building a comprehensive data history and collecting valuable data moving forward requires a collaborative effort which doesn’t happen overnight.
So, where do you begin?
TowerPinkster is a 215-person architecture and engineering practice with five locations serving nine commercial markets. They have experienced rapid growth through acquisitions, which was a catalyst for them to invest in project data in new ways.
In this Intranet Tour, Jill will share how TowerPinkster:
Leverages OpenAsset and Deltek Vantagepoint for project data storage
Engages employees with project data and stories on Synthesis
Involves a broad team in project data improvement
Enjoy!
