SUMMARY:FBA Presents - Streamlining Field Operations for Faster Project Delivery
DESCRIPTION:The field is often the last area to benefit from modernization\, but complex infrastructure projects demand digital processes. To stay competitive\, meet deadlines\, and realize revenue faster\, leveraging technology in the field is essential. Poor communication\, time wasted on searching for information\, and rework can significantly slow down network deployments\, driving up costs and postponing payouts. Without standardizing data collection and documentation\, the close-out process can extend for months\, increasing expenses while delaying returns. \nBuilders and operators must adopt digital platforms to save time and resources. In this webinar\, we’ll break down these core operational challenges and share best practices for overcoming them—leading to faster revenue realization and greater stakeholder confidence. \nKey Takeaways: \n\nHow poor communication and outdated processes impact project timelines and revenue realization\nProven strategies to boost field productivity by over 15%\, reducing delays and rework\nThe power of real-time data and insights for faster\, more informed decision-making across field and office teams\nReal-world examples of teams that have successfully adopted technology in the field\, completing projects ahead of schedule and improving margins\n\nSpeakers: \n\nJoseph Hurley\, PMP\, Network Delivery Manager\, Render Networks\nJonathan Moore\, Solutions Engineer & Network Delivery Manager\, Render Networks\n\n		\n					\n				Register Now

SUMMARY:NEW DATE - 8/29 - FBA Presents - Build Smarter\, Connect Faster with Digital Construction Management
DESCRIPTION:*** NEW DATE & TIME – August 29th at 2:00 PM ET. If you have previously registered\, there is no reason to register again; you will receive an email confirmation for the new date. *** \nWith construction costs and labor shortages on the rise\, networks and utilities need to focus on every possible efficiency. Building infrastructure faster and smarter requires optimization and real-time performance insights that only construction management technology can deliver. In this session\, we share how Render sets the benchmark for cost\, time\, and qualified efficiencies and how you can build a case for utilizing Render in your upcoming project or funding application. \nKey learnings include how: \n\nProductivity improvements deliver projects >15% faster or reduce required headcount\nReal-time data and performance insights increase stakeholder confidence\nAutomating customer sign-up to install significantly reduces connection timeframes\nCustomers are successfully managing Federal and State funding requirements\n\nPresented by: \n\nDan Flemming\, Co-founder\, Render\nTom Brooks\, Director GIS & Solutions Engineering\, Render\n\n		\n					\n				Register Now
