This keeps the right people
connected throughout the
project– whether they are in
the same room or remote -
making miscommunication a
thing of the past.
“The solution facilitates the
ability to bring in a wide vari-
ety of visual content – every-
thing from a simple sketch in
early project stage to high res-
olution images and 3D models
– and to be able to bring all
that content into a discussion
where people can freely col-
laborate, mark up or capture
and it doesn’t matter if they’re
physically located together or
geographically separated. Ul-
timately this will shorten cycle
times, produce better results
and reduce costs,” says Rick
Kennedy, SMART’s Business
Development Manager spe-
cializing in the AEC market.
Kennedy has been intimately
involved in the evolution of
SMART Solutions for busi-
ness users for the past seven
years. During that time he has
worked with hundreds of cus-
tomers and helped shape the
design and user experience of
AEC solutions.
Having all parties interact us-
ing visual communication will
inevitably improve project pro-
ficiency. “To have visual con-
tent available like a 3D model,
we can all pick up a pen and
visually describe exactly what
we’re talking about… This
encourages engagement from
