CHARLOTTE, N.C., Sept. 20, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A new firm, started by industry veterans, brings a fresh approach and extensive experience to the Construction Technology market. New technology and software solutions are coming into the construction marketplace and contractors have significant decisions to make. An industry that once lagged in adopting technology has now been flooded with new software and hardware products, exciting features and capabilities, and a younger workforce eager to make improvements in every area of the business. But these choices come with concerns around user adoption, ability to integrate with existing solutions and risks of selecting the wrong product or having an unsuccessful implementation.
Contech360, LLC, (http://www.contech360.com) a new consulting and solutions company based in Charlotte, looks to address these concerns by leveraging an innovative approach with a focus on ongoing and sustainable, customer success.
After spending almost 8 years as VP of Sales at Viewpoint, the industry leader, and nearly 30 years in the construction technology space, Steve Maddox, one of the partners in the new firm, was ready for a change. "My Viewpoint team worked throughout the US and Canada with some of the largest and most prominent contractors, and I saw firsthand the issues they faced in leveraging technology to address key business issues. Many times, the solutions they implemented did not work as advertised and the process to get them "live" and in production was much more difficult than it should have been. I knew from my past experience working with 1000+ implementations, that a better approach at every step of the process, would deliver more successful results."
Contech360 will provide consulting services that look at the needs of the entire construction business holistically, ensuring that corporate objectives are met and that everyone is focused on the same goals. They will also focus on best practices and methodologies that ensure smooth implementations and ongoing company adoption that continues to deliver value.
"Jim Wagner was part of my leadership team at a prior construction technology consulting firm, Sunrise Software, and I knew he was the best partner I could find to help transform our market. After working in leadership roles in construction software firms like Sunrise and Maxwell Systems, Jim expanded his experience by leading teams in other industries and has an incredible amount of experience in professional service, support, and all areas of customer success. He has worked with Fortune100 companies and held leadership roles at some of the top technology firms in the world."
When the opportunity came to work together again, Wagner, was eager to get started. "Steve and I are both passionate about leveraging technology in an organization, (and) putting the customer first. And our values align. I knew we could have an immediate impact and put together a team that really makes a difference in the construction industry."
The new company will leverage relationships with partners, vendors and other industry contacts to ensure that the customer has a team working on their behalf. "I am very excited about launching the new business and bringing clarity and accountability to the process of evaluating, selecting, implementing and fully utilizing technology in the construction industry. Jim and I are going to have fun along the way and do it with integrity and in line with our values."
