Lamonica
Singled Out for Harnessing Mobile Technology for Construction Sites
and Improving Procurement Processes.
SAN
JOSE, Calif. (June 29, 2012) -- Sam Lamonica, CIO of Rosendin
Electric, one of the nation’s largest private
electrical contractors and a 100% employee-owned company, was named a
finalist for the 2012 CIO Awards by the Silicon Valley/San Jose
Business Journal and the San Francisco Business Times. Sam was one of
three finalists in the Private Company category.
The
Bay Area Business Journals selected Sam because of his innovative
work adapting mobile computing technology for construction and
implementing new paperless supply tracking and procurement processes.
Under his leadership, Rosendin Electric has been equipping field
personnel with mobile technology such as smart phones and iPads and
adding mobile construction solutions from vendors like Vela to
provide workers remote wireless access to materials lists,
blueprints, QA/QC and safety checklists, vendor data, and more. Sam
also introduced a new paperless procurement system for handling
orders, billing, and invoices that saved the company $80,000 in the
first year. With the help of Sam’s technology initiatives, Rosendin
Electric has seen a faster turnaround on construction projects, and
financial savings for both the company and its clients.
In
commenting on his nomination, Sam noted that the best advice he ever
received was “about the importance of ‘MBWA’ (Management by
Walking Away). You get out of your office, get out of your chair, get
in front of your end users often and understand their needs. Be in
front of them a lot. I practice that all the time, I teach it to my
direct reports, and get great customer service.”
“Sam’s
technological innovations have made a tremendous contribution to the
ongoing success and growth of Rosendin Electric,” said Tom Sorley,
the company’s CEO. “His expertise and collaborative management
style make him a welcome member of our management team, and his
contributions have had a real impact on our operational efficiency,
our responsiveness to our partners and our clients. Sam’s positive
approach continues to win the praises of his staff and peers, and we
are pleased that he has received this recognition from the Business
Journals as well.”
