SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Oct. 23, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via PRWEB - Computer Guidance Corporation, the leading developer of ERP software solutions for the construction industry, today announced that Computer Guidance Corporation's Director of Client Solutions, Steven Gross, will discuss the value that business intelligence and analytics tools can bring to a construction company for smarter business practices and improved outcomes.
The presentation titled as "Being In The Know with Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and by Leveraging Business Intelligence and Analytics Tools" will be held at the 18th Annual AGC/CFMA Construction Financial Management Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada on November 7, 2014 at 1:30 P.M. and 3:00 P.M.
"I am extremely pleased to be speaking about this dynamic and equally important topic to such a prestigious audience. The objectives of my presentation and supporting discussions will focus on helping contractors identify ways to measure, monitor and communicate their progress toward their strategic goals and performance milestones," said Steven Gross, Director of Client Solutions, Computer Guidance Corporation.
Steven is an invited speaker to this conference focusing on programs and workshops designed specifically for financial professionals in the construction industry. Big data and business intelligence have been forefront of technology innovation due to the significant impact they can bring to organizations. Seeing the big picture is an ongoing challenge, especially when performance measurements fluctuate constantly and often exist in disparate places. With Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions, construction firms can accumulate real-time data from across the enterprise. But acquiring the data isn't enough. To maximize its value, users need to act on it. They need to predict outcomes, share insights, make informed decisions and act quickly as new information arises. From financial management to human resources to project management, accurate data about every aspect of the business drives critical decisions about clients, projects, budgets, profitability and forecasting. Steven's presentation will focus on these discussion points supported by real-life examples of how contractors have implemented KPIs and other tools for their businesses.
"Making informed decisions and bringing visibility across your organization will make your business more agile, efficient and competitive," commented Steven, who is responsible for directing initiatives designed to maximize the effectiveness and utilization of Computer Guidance software applications at customer environments.
