Sustainable Infrastructure Planning and Delivery: A Digital Transformation

Delivering an ambitious infrastructure program requires a new approach. An approach that not only promotes engagement, but also decreases the time required to make decisions on projects – increasing accessibility for project stakeholders and community members. Cloud-based, interactive solutions will be essential to deliver these projects on task and on time with better outcomes for all.

AECOM’s PlanEnage™ platform streamlines report delivery by allowing project teams to craft interactive digital reports: blending text, geospatial data, multimedia functionality, and digital engagement tools. An integrated review and commenting workflow ensure stakeholders and communities have continuous access throughout
a project’s lifespan.
