Today's Field to Office Tech - Why You Should Be Paying Attention

 

Connect and Learn IconWhen: Friday, September 17, 2021 | 11:00 am - 11:30 am
Where: Via Zoom Meeting (link will be sent out the day before the event)

Join us on September 17 for an informational session where members can both learn and engage! We've teamed up with HCSS to offer this month's technology session: "Today's Field to Office Tech - Why You Should Be Paying Attention."

In our industry over the last 10-15 years, access to office and project documents, project and systems data and collaborative communication platforms has become critical. Now consider how the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated that need!

Companies that have not yet deployed cloud-based, collaborative systems and/or those that may need to continue their transition to these data and communication hubs should pay attention.

Communications and data sharing between the field and office i.e., headquarters, remote office, field offices, traveling employees or even a broader distributed team on some projects has never been more important. 

Topics Covered

Tech use and standardization of terminology:
  • Approaching technology as a ROI-driven business decision.
  • Standard common tech terms (OS, Web app, Mobile app, Native app, etc).
  • The Cloud - The when and why.
  • World of WIFI (hotspots and extenders).  

Different Roles/People may need different tech:
  • In-office roles vs. in-the-field roles and needs around access, technology and devices.
  • Who and why different roles/people may resist and how to assist and foster positive, productive implementation of tech tools.
  • Buy the tech to fit your needs rather than forcing the wrong tech and setting people up to be unhappy.

Summary:
  • The right tech drives data-based decision making.
  • Do the research to deploy the right tech at the right time.
  • Funny yet horrifying stories of tech gone wrong.

Speaker

John Cappello with HCSS will help present the technology you should consider including infrastructure, software, apps and even field and office hardware/devices to be able to work as efficiently and securely as possible.

John CappelloJohn has been with HCSS going on 10 years.  He has been selling software to construction companies for 6 of those years, and in the course of his career he has had thousands of conversations around tech.  Prior to working for HCSS John sold technology driven solutions to businesses helping them form their overall technology stack.  The hardware he sold ran the spectrum of phones, tablets, printers, computers, and high end business grade servers.  Having that balance of software and hardware knowledge qualified him well to speak on today’s topic.
