Description: As the keynote speaker at ACEC 2010, Len C. Rodman, Chairman, President and CEO, Black & Veatch, described the pressure A/E/C firms are experiencing as clients demand better quality and faster delivery at lower costs--while not taking on any of the liability. In achieving these standards, firms are driven to adopt new technologies such as digital signatures.

Digital signatures enable replacement of slow and expensive paper-based approval and submission processes with fast, efficient, and fully electronic ones.

Boaz Lantsman, ARX, explores digital signature technology, compliance and security issues, and integration options as well as how digital signatures will:

  • Improve collaboration and quality by enabling geographically dispersed engineers to digitally sign and seal documents that are secured from change, thereby binding the liability to its source
  • Enable faster project delivery and increased agility to changing client demands
  • Eliminate significant paper-related costs of printing, routing, archiving, etc.

    Chris Krafft will share Black & Veatch's experience of moving to electronic processes with digital signatures.
