Viewpoint, a Trimble Company (NASDAQ: TRMB) and construction management software leader, today welcomed a record-breaking 2,300 construction industry professionals to the Collaborate 2018 User Conference. At the event, Viewpoint is unveiling new software innovations to help construction companies transform their operations, lower risk, gain efficiencies and improve productivity.

When it comes to effectively managing today’s complex construction projects, collaboration is the key to success. With large, multi-faceted projects involving the potential for dozens, even hundreds of subcontractors, keeping track of communications, processing data, tracking job progress and changes and managing compliance issues can be a hefty task for even the most skilled project managers and construction lead teams.

Construction management software provider Viewpoint debuted earlier this month ViewpointOne, a cloud-based platform that aims to eliminate the traditional silos that exist between project management, human resources and financial controls.

rom drones and wearable devices to BIM modeling, robotics for design and prefabricated building, it’s clear that the construction industry is no longer content in the shadows as a slow adopter of new technology. Now, as advanced cloud computing infiltrates nearly every aspect of daily life (e.g., Amazon and Netflix), contractors are realizing the potential of web-based software to streamline and simplify processes across their entire operations—from the back office to the field and beyond.

Construction is a high stakes game, with massive projects and equally massive budgets balancing on a knife-edge between success and failure. ‘‘A 2016 report by McKinsey, Managing Construction’s Digital Future, showed that around the world, on average, large projects go 20 per cent over schedule and up to 80 per cent over budget,’’ says Ian Desbrow, managing director of Australia and New Zealand sales for US-based construction software firm Viewpoint, ‘‘Australia is no exception. The industry is highly volatile, many contractors operate with razor-thin margins and just a handful of project issues can dramatically affect profitability.’’

Trimble announced today that it has completed its previously announced acquisition of Viewpoint.

Trimble announced today it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire privately-held Viewpoint from Bain Capital in an all-cash transaction valued at $1.2 billion. Viewpoint is highly complementary to Trimble's e-Builder business, and will extend Trimble's ability to provide more complete and integrated project, jobsite and business workflows across the construction lifecycle.

Viewpoint is pleased to announce the acquisition of Keystyle Data Solutions (Keystyle). Based in Monrovia, Calif., Keystyle has been a leading Viewpoint technology partner since 2014, developing easy-to-use browser interfaces which extend the value of Viewpoint construction management software to a contractors’ employees, project managers, and job site superintendents.
