Description
Municipalities frequently face issues with tight budgets, inefficient processes, legal requirements, and outdated technology that hamper their missions to be good stewards of public resources. The City of Madison Engineering Division was faced with the sunset of legacy software vital to its operations. This class will tell the story of how we improved change orders to construction projects (our most complicated process) through the use of cloud software. Autodesk Construction Cloud was our primary tool, but we quickly realized the benefits of automations through Autodesk Platform Services and Workato. City staff, Autodesk, and our consultant Team D3 provided valuable support and insights throughout this team effort. This class will specifically demonstrate how you can import form data to Cost Management, how document templates save tedious data entry, how review and communications stay in the platform, and how change orders to the contract are digitally approved.
