Lighting the Way: The Digital Future of Reliable Power Transmission and Distribution

Owner operators face the challenge of implementing larger capital projects than ever before with limited resources and pressures to ensure projects are delivered on schedule, to specification, and within budget. The amount of information created on a capital project can be overwhelming and make it difficult for engineers and specialists to find what they need. Once the information is found, it is often out of context, and additional time is lost searching for related information in order to fully understand the design. This issue, coupled with information sitting in a variety of sources and disconnected systems results in wasting time – one of the company’s most valuable resources. Find out how Hexagon PPM brings tools, processes, and people together to help deliver projects on time, on budget, and with assured quality.
