Seminar at ISEP – New Collaboration Models and Software in the AEC Industry

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!
