Session Overview
Managing information across a complex infrastructure project is harder than it should be. Data lives in disconnected systems, handovers break continuity, and by the time a project reaches operations, critical asset information is already lost or unreliable.
In this session, Tom Neighbours, Digital Engineering Specialist at 12d Synergy, walks through the practical realities of information management across the full project lifecycle — from interoperability challenges between disciplines and platforms, to the role GIS plays in keeping spatial data connected throughout delivery and beyond.
Whether you’re dealing with data silos today or building out a longer-term information management strategy, this session gives you a framework for thinking about it clearly.
What You’ll Learn
- Why data continuity breaks down across project phases and how to address it
- How to manage information consistently across multiple platforms, disciplines, and teams
- Practical approaches to data interoperability in multi-disciplinary project environments
- How GIS fits into project delivery and asset management workflows
- How 12d Synergy supports connected information management across the full project lifecycle
