Construction Business Owner Magazine & Newforma Present Webinar: “Top 3 Tech Challenges to Watch in 2019′

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (Jan. 14, 2019)—Construction Business Owner, the leading business magazine for contractors, is pleased to announce a free webinar presented in partnership with Newforma.  

The live, online event, “Top 3 Tech Challenges to Watch in 2019,” will take place Feb. 28, 2019, at 1 p.m. EST. Registration is free at constructionbusinessowner.com/webinars.

In a December 2018 survey of more than 1,200 architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) firms, researchers discovered invaluable insight into software ecosystems, top technology challenges and top project information challenges.

This webinar will share data points from this research and discuss how AEC firms can resolve top technology challenges and top project information management challenges, such as maintaining an audit trail, project workflow, email management and administrative workload. The webinar will focus on the top challenges plaguing the profession and deliver real-world examples to stimulate a lively discussion around hot topics of greatest concern.

Beyond the data around software ecosystems, the survey also revealed a 25-percent chance that a firm in the U.S. will be named in a legal dispute. Attendees will glean insight into how to mitigate risk, while also powering collaboration with a diverse project team, project workflow, and how to streamline office-to-field communications and file sharing.

Technology data points include:

• Most common mobile devices being used in the field
• Time and billing software
• Email software
• Construction specification software
• ERP software
• PDF viewing and markup software
• Collaboration software
• Contract management software
• Design software
• BIM software
• Project file storage solutions

This live event will be presented by Marge Hart, director of product management and cross-app functions at Newforma. Hart has been with Newforma since 2006 and is responsible for product management of Newforma’s flagship product, Newforma Project Center and the new Newforma Cloud product. She has over 20 years of design, customer research and validation experience.

The 1-hour, live webinar event includes a 45-minute presentation by Hart, followed by a 15-minute question-and-answer session.
