Trimble Dimensions 2014 Review
The 2014 Trimble Dimensions International User conference was a huge success. Over 4,200 professionals from 83 countries gathered in Las Vegas to network with colleagues and discover new developments in technology. The conference focused on technology, transforming business, boosting productivity and savings. Trimble CEO and President Steve Berglund shared how using advanced technology can deliver cost savings of 25-30% to construction projects, providing a significant gain for the bottom line as well as incorporating efficiency. Trimble has shifted its attention to cover a much wider scope of offerings, focusing on data and customer solutions. As such, the company is expanding into rail, environmental, electric and water utility business segments, offering considerable growth opportunities for the future.
On the geospatial front, Vice President Erik Arvesen, explained how Trimble is arming engineers around the world with mountains of information they can use to make smart, informed decisions. The key is making sure the data is accurate, accessible by people who need it and organized in such a way that pulls information from multiple sources to give geospatial professionals a complete picture.
Dimension participants also enjoyed attending sessions presented by Duncan-Parnell’s Dan Bonenfant and Daisy Rettaliata. Dan presented “Modeling in Trimble SketchUp using Trimble RealWorks Data” and “Trimble RealWorks - 7 Non-Modeling tools for the Construction Professional”, while Daisy presented a case study on integrating Trimble Positions into an existing GIS system.
The conference offered over 500 educational sessions both on-site and off-site immersive training. Planning is already underway for Dimensions 2016 to be held at the Venetian in Las Vegas.
A winner of Duncan-Parnell’s free pass giveaway, Bill Ledbetter of Roudabush, Gale and Associates, said “this was a great opportunity
to learn about the latest industry technologies and applications from experts. We connected with many colleagues and are thankful to
Duncan-Parnell for the opportunity to attend.”
