We’ll hear from Hexagon experts as well as two customers who are already making significant strides today to be ready for whatever surprises tomorrow has to offer.

In this session, we highlight the evolution of data integration, where we’re headed and how to build autonomy into your systems. |

9:25am | The Project Performance Mandate: Getting Serious about Disruption
The status quo is dangerous for projects. The landscape in most organizations is littered with point solutions, homegrown solutions and redundant solutions. While projects are the engines of growth for so many businesses – despite increasing size, volume, complexity and scrutiny – so much of project performance management relies on spreadsheets. And the failures continue. Decades ago, organizations rallied around finance’s need for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. Yet no similar mandate has galvanized for a strategic, full lifecycle standard for projects. How do we prove the need and the business case? What’s the real value? Join us as we dismantle the status quo and identify the strategic objectives for projects that will carry your organization through the next normal. |
