Tech leaders at both Suffolk and PCL have highly disciplined processes for investigating, evaluating and selecting only the most appropriate new technologies for deployment. But both insist that the most important factor, as exemplified by their experiences integrating drones into operations, transcends hardware and software: They both say the real key to successful tech development and integration is the relationship they develop with their tech vendors. And now, as both firms shift from remote-capture of raw data to AI-empowered, continuous, autonomous project knowledge development, the spread between the benefits of successful tech integration, versus the costs of missteps and errors, is growing ever greater.

In this session tech leaders from both firms, along with a vendor PCL works closely with, will discuss how they have learned when to say yes, and when to say no, and how they navigate mazes of options to integrate the best emerging technologies, without losing operational clarity. Attendees will leave with a practical roadmap for establishing, scaling, and sustaining the kind of collaborative relationship between builders and technology innovators that is required to transform visions into value, and ideas into winning outcomes.
