Operational efficiency is increasingly becoming a key driver of profitability across multiple industries. Understanding near-real-time progress, productivity, quality, and cost across multiple activities within the enterprise is critical as companies try to do more with less. Come join this expert customer panel of building information modeling (BIM) managers and technology leaders as they discuss the value of using granular object-level design data via Autodesk Platform Services and Power BI. In this session, we'll discuss the following: the reports/dashboards these customers have built; how building them has helped improve decision making within their organizations; and the lessons they learned during their implementation and rollout/deployment.
