2017 CMAA Capital Projects Symposium Recap

The Lydon Solutions team had a great time showcasing our construction management solutions at the 2017 CMAA Capital Projects Symposium.  Here are a few photos and takeaways from the event.

The annual CMAA Capital Projects Symposium is the ideal venue for construction industry leaders to learn about new techniques and technologies to improve their project management processes. We were proud to be bronze-level sponsors of this two-day event for the third year in a row.  As always, it was great connecting with industry professionals and showing off our latest innovative construction program management solutions.

Visitors to our booth had the chance to explore Construction Viz, our recently released construction program management solution powered by Microsoft SharePoint 2016. We presented demos highlighting Construction Viz’s powerful SSRS reporting capabilities as well as how easy the platform makes it to integrate geospatial map data with project information.

Thanks to everyone that stopped by our booth to chat with our team!

A few takeaways from this year’s CMAA Capital Projects Symposium

The CMAA event is a great opportunity to learn what is foremost on the minds of industry leaders. Here are a few insights we gained:

Breaking down information silos and encouraging collaboration – Many construction managers and owners are looking for a centralized location for all their project information. They want a solution that will enable them to better share this information among project team members.

Better Primavera P6 integration and reporting – P6 is the go-to project management application for many organizations. What’s missing is a way to integrate project information from other sources with P6 data and create robust reports.

Mobile is a requirement – Project teams need mobile-first tools that enable them to be productive in the field or away from their desk, with or without an internet connection. This isn’t just about convenience. Today’s fast-paced, competitive business environment makes this a necessity.

In all the above conversations, we were delighted to show off the capabilities of Construction Viz, a solution well-suited to meeting the needs we heard from CMAA attendees.

Construction Viz integrates with industry-standard software (Microsoft Office, P6, ArcGIS and more), putting all project data in one place for collaboration, sharing and reporting. The platform makes it easy to share P6 schedule information via built-in reports and dashboards. Finally, Construction Viz is designed from the ground up to be a mobile-first platform.

When we showed visitors to our booth everything Construction Viz could do – and then told them it was built on technologies that they already knew and trusted like SharePoint 2016, SQL 2016 and Azure – we generated a lot of excitement. It’s gratifying opportunities like these to share much-needed solutions with our construction industry colleagues that ensures we’ll be back at the Capital Projects Symposium next year!
