Business Wire
AECOM (NYSE:ACM), the world’s premier infrastructure firm,
announced today that it will showcase its digital innovation
capabilities on a webcast on August 13th at 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time
hosted by KeyBanc. The event will highlight the Company’s
industry-leading digital transformation capabilities with several
recently released digital tools that are enhancing its value
proposition and deepening client engagement.
Featured on the call will be Kevin Carlson, AECOM’s global lead
for digital transformation, and Peter Flint, AECOM’s chief growth
officer of its EMEA business, who will discuss how AECOM is leading
the acceleration of the industry’s digital transformation. They
will detail several solutions rapidly developed in the wake of the
coronavirus pandemic, such as AECOM’s virtual public consultation
tool as well as its approach to helping transit agencies return to
service safely and efficiently.
“Responding to our clients’ needs during periods of great
uncertainty and change is a key competitive differentiator of ours,
which has underpinned strong client satisfaction and resulted in
leading market share in response to COVID-19,” said W. Troy Rudd,
AECOM’s chief financial officer. “As our many financial and
strategic successes over the past two years demonstrate, our people
have exhibited unwavering dedication, perseverance and
adaptability, which affirms my conviction in our teams’ exceptional
talent and capabilities. Our digital transformation is advancing
AECOM’s industry-leading margins in our largest markets, creating
capital to reinvest in continued innovation, and improving
long-term returns and cash flow to support our capital allocation
priorities.”
Key Topics to Be
Discussed
- AECOM’s Approach to Digital: From pioneering digital design to
developing our own software and innovative environmental solutions,
we bring the best minds together to solve our clients' biggest
challenges. We’re committed to transforming projects through
digital delivery and innovation — working with our clients to
achieve higher quality, greater reliability, faster delivery and
the highest safety standards. From our digital libraries, which
allow for a level of detail that is unparalleled for manufacturing,
construction, and workplace fit-out, to our machine learning
algorithms used for more precise, rapid, and efficient cost
estimates, AECOM is using innovative solutions to solve some of our
clients’ most complex challenges and transform outcomes for our
communities.
- Virtual Public Consultation Tool: By providing a more resilient
approach to community engagement, the virtual consultation tool
allows clients to engage with a wider audience who cannot attend
in-person meetings during consultation periods. Through the new
platform, a virtual event can be personalized to show consultation
materials including virtual reality and sound demonstrations,
videos, maps, plans and pop up banners. The solution allows for
instant feedback so public reaction can be captured and saved for
analysis and accurate reporting. There is also a chat function so
on-hand experts can remotely answer questions as visitors look
around the materials, similar to what would take place during an
in-person event. A demonstration of the offering is available here:

- Return to Service Strategy: Leveraging its own experience and
implementation plans across its business, AECOM is advising an
increasing array of clients on office and facility re-population
plans. This includes work with Port Authority Trans Hudson on
integrating technologies to establish social-distancing procedures,
manage arrival and departure of passengers, and improve
communication on agency cleaning and safety protocols. Through an
increased use of technology, including our Transportation
Resilience Integrated Passenger Solutions (TRIPS) that was launched
earlier this week, and more efficient approaches to the most common
passenger touch points, we can improve safety at each point of the
passenger journey, protect the health of passengers and employees,
and help restore public confidence.
“AECOM was early to recognize that the digital transformation in
our industry was inevitable and has been investing for several
years in the capabilities necessary to be the go-to partner for our
clients,” said Mr. Carlson. “We have created a digital foundation
that enables us to rapidly bring new solutions to our clients,
leveraging both our scale and the economies generated through
virtual collaboration, digital libraries, and pairing our deep
market expertise with technology.”
“With accelerated adoption of virtual and digital ways of
delivering work, the value we can bring to clients is exponential,”
said Mr. Flint. “We are already seeing our clients adopt our
industry-leading tools, such as our virtual public consultation
platform – delivered to dozens of clients in just the past few
months, and the response has been tremendous. I look forward to
this event where we can provide a greater look into how we are
transforming the industry and leading the market for
innovation.”
