From Projects to Portfolio: Why Construction Leaders Are Rewriting the Rules of Data-Driven Delivery
Construction has a data problem.
Not a shortage though, quite the opposite – we have a deluge of data. From planning schedules and cost estimates to risk logs and resource allocations, project data is everywhere. But in too many organisations, that data remains inconsistent, fragmented, or trapped in isolated reports. The result? Missed insights, disconnected decisions, and an ever-widening gap between what’s happening on the ground and what leadership sees.
It doesn’t have to be that way.
Elecosoft and Acumine have joined forces to deliver a webinar that will show construction leaders how to move from isolated project snapshots to cross-portfolio intelligence: “Transforming Planning Data into Portfolio Intelligence with Elecosoft and Acumine”.
“People need to trust the data they’re getting, or if they don’t, question it, and see what can be done about it, as it happens, not waiting for months later when they’ve got a problem”
Brendan Johnston, Planning Director at McLaren Construction Group
Through a mix of customer stories , expert insights, and a live product demo, you’ll hear how leading UK building contractors are driving standardisation, visibility, and control of data across their projects, portfolios and organisation as a launch pad for greater insights.
It’s time for construction to deliver.
The UK government is depending on the construction industry to fuel it’s growth strategy. But legacy processes and fragmented systems often hold teams back. In this session, we’ll explore three critical challenges construction leaders face today—and how the right data strategy can solve them.
- Seeing the Big Picture: Portfolio-Level Visibility
For planning leads and programme directors, managing one project is hard enough. Managing dozens demands clarity at scale.
Yet many organisations rely on disconnected reports that can’t be easily shared, compared, summarised, or trusted at project let alone portfolio level.
With standardised planning templates in Elecosoft’s Asta Vision platform, contractors can generate consistent data structures across all projects. This creates a foundation for aggregate reporting and cross-programme dashboards that reveal performance trends, risk exposure, and delivery bottlenecks at a glance.
The standardisation and data cleansing that occurs at the earliest point will also ensure AI readiness for the business. - Trusting the Numbers: Confidence in Project Data
When data is manually entered or shared, inconsistently labelled, or differently interpreted by each team, it loses its value. The project team and greater business can’t act on insights it doesn’t trust.
That’s why this webinar will explore how standardisation and data health unlock trustworthy, actionable intelligence. You’ll see how consistent structures allow different teams—planning, commercial, operations, and exec leadership—to use the same data for different purposes, without misalignment or confusion. The result? A single view of the truth that supports faster, more confident decisions. - Connecting Strategy and Delivery: Be Future-Ready
Project teams need to react to what’s happening now, not last week. Executives need to know how today’s performance affects long-term goals. Too often, those insights are buried in spreadsheets, delayed by manual processes, or lost in translation.
By incorporating Acumine’s Build Intelligence™ platform, powered by Microsoft Fabric and Power BI, you’ll see how time / schedule data is federated directly from Asta Vision and transformed into portfolio-level dashboards with drill-down capability that provide key stakeholders with timely updates from high-level KPIs to task-level detail. This approach leverages your existing Microsoft licensing, and allows you to maintain secure control and ownership of your data.
What You’ll See in the Webinar
Alongside expert insights and discussions, you’ll experience:
- The key steps for successful planning and programme data strategy for today as well as a look into the future.
- How Acumine’s Build Intelligence™ supplements Elecosoft’s solutions with enhanced reporting that transforms your data into golden insights.
- A ‘day in the life’ walkthrough of an implementation of portfolio-level planning insights with live software demos.
