Leading
Electrical Contractor Harnesses Consumer Technologies, Cloud
Services, and Mobile Applications to Streamline Operations.
SAN
JOSE, Calif. (September 11, 2013) -- Rosendin
Electric, the nation's largest private electrical
contractor and an employee-owned company, today announced that it has
been named to this year's InformationWeek 500 – a list of the top
technology innovators in the United States. This is the third
consecutive year that Rosendin Electric has been named to the
InformationWeek 500 for its groundbreaking use of Information
Technology in the construction industry.
This
year, InformationWeek recognized Rosendin Electric for its innovative
integration of wireless technology, consumer devices, and cloud
services to improve productivity on the job site. Rather than
carrying the volumes of paper previously required, field employees
now use iPads to check drawings, 3D models, and job specifications.
Using mobile devices streamlines on-site processes and allows for
constant, real-time communication with the entire project team. This
approach increases QA/QC inspection accuracy and substantially
reduces the time to identify and resolve any design and installation
issues. Rosendin Electric has also harnessed the same technology to
streamline procurement. Large shipments from suppliers or the
company's prefabrication location can now be tracked using QR and bar
codes, saving time and resources.
"Applying
consumer and mobile technology to bring greater efficiencies to
electrical design and construction gives us a competitive edge,"
said Sam Lamonica, CIO of Rosendin Electric. "We have the
advantage of being able to draw from the expertise of one of the best
IT teams in the business, and our executive leadership understands
the return that can be derived by investing in the right technology.
The fact that we have received this honor from InformationWeek for
three years running is a testament to Rosendin Electric's commitment
to innovation."
In
past years, InformationWeek has recognized Rosendin Electric for its
new EDI platform to automate manual materials ordering and processing
purchase orders and invoices, substituting paper processes with
e-processes, resulting in time and cost savings. Further recognition
was received for being one of the first companies to migrate from a
two-dimensional to a three-dimensional interactive BIM/CAD modeling
system.
"The
theme of this year's InformationWeek 500 is digital business. It's a
movement, rooted in data analytics, mobile computing, social
networking and other customer-focused technologies that are turning
companies and industries on their ear," said InformationWeek
Editor In Chief Rob Preston. "Every enterprise is now a digital
business - or needs to become one fast. The organizations in our
ranking are leading the way."
InformationWeek
identifies and honors the nation's most innovative users of
information technology with its annual InformationWeek 500 listing,
and also tracks the technology, strategies, investments, and
administrative practices of some of the best-known organizations in
the country.
