Construction Tech & Innovation Series
Contractors will learn about the different types of data connections and be armed to ask the right questions, so they know exactly what and how they’re buying before they invest.
It’s difficult, if not impossible, to have one technology solution to manage all the core functions of a construction organization. As a contractor, you’ve likely been told, “there’s an integration for that,” and have had the term API thrown around synonymous with the promise of seamless data sharing and automation. But while providing the best system for each department and integrating these standalone systems is key, understanding the different types of integrations available to – and best for – your business is even more critical. Contractors want their systems to talk to each other without manual intervention, but just like equipment, these connections typically need maintenance and adding more to your fleet (or tech stack) isn’t always the most cost-effective or efficient solution.
Additional Details
Contractors will learn about the different types of data connections and be armed to ask the right questions, so they know exactly what and how they’re buying before they invest.
The audience will:
1. Learn how to outline their tech goals and whether an integration is or is not the best solution for their pain points – before engaging in a purchase conversation.
2. Understand the different data sharing options and basic definitions so that they are better armed for integration conversations.
3. Learn how much (or little) support and customer service each integration type will require in the long run, so contractors can confidently ask questions around implementation, customer service and maintenance of integrations, prior to entering a data sharing partnership.
