The infrastructure industry is constantly evolving, driven by new technologies and a growing need for efficiency and collaboration to deliver projects on time and on budget. At Infotech, we’re not just keeping pace – we’re actively shaping the future of how projects are planned, bid, built, and managed. Our commitment is to empower our customers and partners with innovative solutions that streamline workflows, enhance visibility, and ultimately deliver better infrastructure for our communities. This journey is fueled by the invaluable feedback we receive, the strong partnerships we forge, and a keen eye on the trends that are redefining our industry.
The Voice of Our Customers: Driving Innovation
Infotech is driven by the success of our users. Their experiences and feedback are invaluable in shaping our products and ensuring we’re meeting the evolving needs of the infrastructure industry. When we say We built this for you, we are really saying We built this for you…with your voice top of mind. Here are a few recent highlights that demonstrate the positive impact our solutions offer:
- Delivering Large-Scale Project Success: We’ve seen our platform successfully support the advertisement and management of significant, multi-million-dollar (and even billion-dollar) projects. Customers have expressed confidence in our solutions to handle the complexities of these large-scale endeavors.
- Streamlining Critical Workflows: As we have integrated our products, our users have seen greater efficiency in essential processes, notably in the area of managing change orders and payments between owner and contractor. We’re excited to offer simpler solutions to contractor bidding with major upgrades to streamline bid submission.
- Growing User Adoption: The increasing value and relevance of our platforms within the industry is demonstrated by our continued customer growth and the reliance on our solutions to help perform the highly critical bidding process of a construction project.
These examples reflect the real and tangible benefits our customers are experiencing. Their successes fuel our passion for innovation and reinforce our commitment to delivering solutions that truly empower the infrastructure sector.
Partnering for Progress: Commitment to Advancing Industry Wins
The future of infrastructure relies on a connected and data-rich environment. That’s why we’re an Esri Gold Partner – who is the global leader in geographic information systems (GIS). This collaboration is a cornerstone of our vision to bring powerful location intelligence directly into the hands of infrastructure professionals.
By integrating Esri’s cutting-edge mapping and spatial analytics capabilities with our products and platform, we are unlocking new levels of insight and efficiency that we know our customers and the industry are seeking. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) reports highlight that State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) are increasingly leveraging GIS for transportation asset management and to improve decision-making, recognizing its essential role in making better, more informed, and cost-efficient choices. This shift towards geospatially located data is driving a paradigm shift towards greater project delivery efficiency and productivity across the U.S. highway industry. Imagine a world where project boundaries are visually clear, where stakeholders can easily understand the spatial context of bids and construction activities, and where asset information is inherently tied to its real-world location.
Infotech and Esri are focused on delivering tangible benefits, such as:
- Enhanced Spatial Visibility: Providing intuitive map-based views of projects and related data within our applications.
- Location-Aware Workflows: Enabling users to leverage spatial information to make more informed decisions throughout the project lifecycle.
- Improved Data Accuracy: Connecting project data with precise geographic locations for better planning, execution, and asset management.
This partnership with Esri is not just about integrating technologies; it’s about creating a more intuitive, insightful, and ultimately more successful experience for our users. By embedding the power of GIS into our solutions, we are taking a significant step towards a truly spatially intelligent infrastructure ecosystem.
Looking Ahead: Connecting Bidding and Construction Across the Project Lifecycle
Our primary focus remains on providing our customers with best-in-class solutions for pre-construction and construction management. However, Infotech recognizes the critical importance of connectivity across the entire infrastructure lifecycle. We envision a future where data flows seamlessly between planning, bidding, construction, and maintenance phases, eliminating siloed information and enriching the data within our core platforms to benefit all stakeholders.
Digital Project Delivery (DPD) is transforming the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry, with 91% of contractors and owners agreeing that better collaboration, facilitated by DPD, reduces risks on construction projects. DPD integrates multi-discipline data into a single source of truth, leading to improved quality, greater productivity, and more projects delivered on time and within budget by removing data silos and enabling automation. This commitment also extends to exploring and responsibly introducing advanced technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) into our services, always aligned with our customers’ needs and focused on delivering tangible value. The global AI in construction market is projected for significant growth, with some estimates showing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 30% in the coming years, driven by its potential to boost productivity (with some studies suggesting up to 20% through better planning) and enhance safety (with AI-driven tools reducing workplace accidents by as much as 25%).
Imagine a future where:
- Key project information from the planning phase is readily available within our bidding platform, providing context and streamlining the bidding process.
- Geospatial insights from GIS platforms are seamlessly integrated into our construction management tools, enhancing site awareness and decision-making.
- Valuable data captured during bidding and construction can be easily shared and utilized by other lifecycle phases, such as asset management and maintenance.
Our goal is to ensure that our bidding and construction solutions act as central hubs of information, seamlessly exchanging data with other critical systems to provide a holistic view of the project lifecycle. By focusing on intelligent integrations, we aim to empower our users with richer data and insights, leading to more efficient projects and better infrastructure outcomes.
