As Director of Industry Digital Transformation at VIATechnik, I focus on strategic engagements that help enterprises deploy BIM-based solutions that align their corporate strategies with digitalization. While the AECO industry is moving to digital design and construction workflows, supply chains are stuck in analog processes. Manufacturers, distributors, and fabricators have become disconnected from important decision-making opportunities. VIATechnik’s Thread Platform leverages high quality data and provides a new way to digitally transact with customers, empowering manufacturers, distributors, and fabricators with the ability to attract customers across the project lifecycle.
