The 21st Century City - How Smart Cities Connect Digital Workflows to Drive Efficient Operations for Lifecycle Asset Management
Matt Sprague, Trimble Owner & Public Sector
GIS has long been a mission-critical system of record for local government and providing safe and sustainable infrastructure is a critical priority for community leaders, utility managers and a reasonable expectation of citizens. Many cities and utilities still rely on paper, silos of conflicting information and even staff memories to communicate critical updates to the development community.
Smart agencies look to technology to connect digital workflows across the Design, Build, Operate and Maintain phases of infrastructure planning. Connected workflows result in efficiency gains which save agencies money, while also providing 21st century level of service to their communities. This session will discuss best business practices for using Trimble (Cityworks & eBuilder), Avolve and ArcGIS Solutions to connect digital workflows across the full asset lifecycle management process.
