Betlach was well-versed in running the Vista on-prem version,
having done so for many years with his previous company. "We
were just a small specialty contractor in Minnesota. When I
started, we were around $20 million in sales," he said. "By the
time I left, we were coast to coast and around $200 million.
During that growth, because of Trimble Viewpoint, we didn't
need to hire any additional people in accounting because we
were able to have our project management team do a lot of
those traditional accounting functions through Vista."
Betlach said it can be a lot for an IT department or software
administrator to manage Vista on premise. "With the on-prem
solution, we did all the updates, security and backups in-house,
and it was a lot of work. If you're short on staff, especially now
with it being difficult finding and retaining talent, it makes sense
for a lot of companies to move to the cloud."
Betlach said making the leap to the cloud with Trimble
Viewpoint and the connected Trimble Construction One suite
opened a whole new world of opportunities. One of the biggest
benefits, he noted, is the opportunity to replace multiple third-
party vendors with a single suite of construction and business
applications that share data and workflows between them.
Two areas that have already seen huge positive impacts for the
company are human resources (HR) and service management.
