Session #1 - Leveraging Cloud Platforms Without Risking Your Firm’s Reputation by Rob Morris, Regional Manager at Egnyte
The global pandemic compelled many AEC firms to migrate their documents and data into the cloud. However, this digital transformation comes with new security challenges - in Q4 2020-Q1 2021 alone Egnyte’s AEC customers detected a 325% increase of high severity issues.
For companies looking to capitalize on cloud tools without sacrificing secure document management, this presentation identifies the potential risks and provides best practices for mitigating risks while meeting business requirements. Don’t let potential threats compromise your firm’s reputation by making an informed decision about which platform is right for you.
10:30 AM
Session #2 - Technology Advancements in Workforce Management by Kris Lengieza, VP of Global Partnerships & Alliances at Procore Technologies
The labor shortage requires our industry to take a two-pronged approach to meet construction demand. To first double down on workforce development: the focus on recruiting and training. And second, a sound workforce management practice must be implemented to ensure you have the right people in the right place at the right time across projects - current and future.
This session will discuss the importance of technology in both attracting and training the next generation of skilled workers to maximize engagement and workforce performance. And to level up your workforce management operations, improve crew retention, enablement of your field leaders and project management staff, and ultimately improve your bottom line.
