Driving User Value – AgileAssets 2016 International Users Conference

The AgileAssets 2016 International Users Conference held in Austin this past September was once again a great success. More than 100 clients and partners participated in 3 days of discussions, presentations and hands-on workshops under the theme “Driving User Value“.

In his conference keynote Stuart Hudson, CEO of AgileAssets, talked about the value of asset management to end users, decision makers and citizens across the nation, saving millions of taxpayers’ money through informed decision making.

Clients from the US and abroad graciously shared their success stories about how to make the most of the AgileAssets product portfolio. Among these were Montana, Ohio, Texas, Kentucky, Connect Plus, Oklahoma, New York, Idaho and Minnesota, touching on topics such as safety, user experience, pavement, fleet and training. All presentations were recorded and some live-streamed to industry colleagues.

AgileAssets subject matter experts, clients, and partners presented and discussed solutions spanning GIS, MAP-21, inspections, planning, fleet, portfolios, data, training, bridge, pavement, signals, budgets, safety, mobile and enterprise asset management.
