On the 19th of October the Engineering University of ISEP held a
seminar to present Ap4 Project Managers to their civil engineering
students and staff.
It was a very interesting event
where we discussed the present software and comunication models made
available to the AEC sector and the enormous competitive advantages in
the adoption of new collaboration models brought forth by modern web
and mobile platforms.
The successful completion of
construction projects demands immense multidisciplinary comunication
and collaboration at various levels amongst the envolved project
companies and project teams, whom sometimes find themselves spread out
geographically.
Therefore, the adoption of
these new technologies by the companies within the construction
industry is of the utmost importance for these same companies to raise
their levels of productivity and efficiency.
Why hasn´t the construction
industry not yet benefited with software tools to match the ease of use
in communicating that we verify today when sharing comments, photos
and events with our friends in Facebook, or the ease with which tools
like Dropbox give us when we need to share files with coworkers and
friends?
How should we manage the immeasurable amount of emails we
exchange daily with our project teams?
These were some of the
questions we presented and discussed, and how web and mobile
applications such as Ap4 Project Managers drives to solve these same
problems through its online collaboration platform, where multiple
companies and project teams can easily share, manage and access the
right project information at the right time.
We loved the experience and hope to come back soon with new developments!
