From PlanGrid to Platform: How a Specialty Contractor Built an Enterprise Data Strategy on Autodesk Forma

When we, one of the larger MEP design-build contractors on the US West Coast, decided to replace PlanGrid, our mission was clear: We want to update our tool suite, and quickly standardize data quality across all projects. But a platform decision is more than just a tool swap. This session will walk you through the generalized strategic framework that we used to evaluate, select, and roll out Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud) as the enterprise backbone for both office and field teams. Learn how a three-stage rollout from exploration, a year-long pilot with rigorous standardization, and a fine-tuned enterprise deployment delivered measurable results: unified dashboards, and a data foundation that helps us to build custom solutions with Autodesk Platform Services.
