By moving to a complete solution, we are not just changing our software, but changing the way the company operates.”
“This year-s competition brought forth companies that have shown great devotion to pushing their companies forward using modern technology,” says Peggy Smedley, editorial director, Constructech. “That is exactly what is so great about the Vision Awards. It brings to light the companies that have implemented innovation and have obtained notable success in the industry.”
