 think I got a pretty good transition or preparation for my talk from Professor Wambolt who said it's elementary or essential to get data out of silos and to get data into the hands of people in the different areas of work and make it more accessible so my focus here is on thank you is on the topic of getting data to the right people at the right time and I'm talking about a product that we have a tremble called Trimble Connect. Before I get started I'll cover industry challenges a little bit, talk about Trimble Connect, give some examples of how customers are using it and then provide a bit of an outlook. Before I get started I wanted to cover Trimble real quickly so Trimble's focus is to transform the way the world works. We are active in four different fields in construction, geospatial, transportation and agriculture and our solutions are covering all these areas and we are looking to essentially combine our solutions more and more because we identified that we have pretty much a lot of common challenges across all the different areas that Trimble's active in. One of the big challenges is that we have more and more data and is everywhere so data is fragmented in different silos and we're getting more and more data especially with reality capture solutions like scanning, point clouds, the data volume that we need to handle is really massive. In addition to that we also have very disconnected processes so the data is processed and used in different silos which basically needs different expertise, different environments and we need to connect data and break up these silos. Based on this disconnection and the fragmentation we also will then see a lot of basically errors in decision making and by removing silos, by getting data closer together and flowing we'll be able to tackle that problem. All of that is certainly combined with focus on margins so with slim margins errors is something you don't want to have, basically want to avoid so that is the fourth challenge that we're trying to tackle. To address those different problems Trimble has put together a strategy a couple of years ago which we call connect and scale. It's a three-footed strategy focusing on the customer first then focusing on building a platform and focusing on a more streamlined experience. So the customer focus really is about getting a more streamlined experience or more unified basically integrated approach to our customers so that the data will get out of silos, workflows are more flowing between the different types of customers and stakeholders we have. The platform strategy really speaks to an approach where our focus is to create an open platform because as Trimble we're well aware that we won't be able to cover and capture every or tackle every solution and problem in the world so we want to create an open platform that our partners and customers can integrate with bring their own solutions bring their own algorithms but also implement their algorithms in in their solutions and then finally streamlined experiences really focusing on making Trimble easier to do business with basically given that we cover so many different industries Trimble can be fragmented when it comes to how we interact with customers so that is our third focus. Now my area the area that I'm working in in Trimble is the geospatial side which is pretty much covering the wear of our industry continuum so Trimble really is focused on creating reality capture data creating survey data basically capturing the physical world. This data is then used to identify basically the why so basically used in construction management process optimization understanding what is going on in basically on a construction site and is also being used in the area that covers to what basically the planning 3d planning building construction planning and as geospatial we see ourselves at that intersection between the physical and the digital and we're focusing on providing solutions to tackle that area. The key area or the key focus and product I want to talk to about today is Trimble Connect and it is a cloud based common data environment combined with a collaboration user experience or collaboration environment so basically CDE combined with collaboration application and it connects the right people with the right data at the right time so the focus really here is on getting BIM data, getting scan data, getting surveying data integrated and easy to use across the different areas of activity. Trimble Connect is not a new solution it's been in the market for a while mainly with a building construction focus we have more than 30 million active users at the moment so it's pretty stable platform I would say we're used to dealing with lots of customers lots of users on that platform and we're now focusing on bringing that more and more into the geospatial environment. Within the geospatial world Trimble Connect can be used in a number of different areas you can use it to plan your work in the office or plan your work to be done in the field you can use it to get data from the office to the field so basically preparing your data for field work you can use it while collecting data in the field it can be used basically as a storage mechanism for data then you can use it to basically prepare deliverables in the office you can connect products like Trimble Business Center to the cloud through Trimble Connect and a very big aspect is sharing and delivering very complex data to a large amount of stakeholders or customers so basically that sort of collaboration aspect is where Trimble Connect is very strong and then finally the tracking of progress so understanding what's going on in the field where is the work what is completed what's going on and to give a bit more context to detail I picked out some of those areas to show how that can actually be done so when planning work for example you can use Trimble Connect to sort out and order or categorize certain data in the in the office and prepare the data for field use so you can build groups you can build certain elements that you can single out which you then can more easily select and identify in the field so this is really focused on model driven workflows in the field where you can then make it much easier to sort through complex models in a field workflow at the same time you can also organize your teams groups provide access rights create user groups basically manage who has access to what data at what time now once you've sorted and organized that data you can take it into the field onto your field controller you can tap back into the cloud identify which data to work on which model object to scan for example which model upside object to measure against and then that way steer your field work into along the digital model you can automatically download objects you can use design files from the offer from the the cloud directly in the field the big aspect also and that was covered before as well where we said we need to get the data into the hands of different users different stakeholders essentially break up the silos and this is really achieved through that sharing capability Trimble Connect offers a very easy to use environment in which we can surface quite complex data in a very simple environment really so that for example a planner has access to a point cloud in combination with a model to be able to measure distances measure how much cable to to use to get something installed aspects like that so really it provides a very capable environment to share data to create predefined views create basically projects that makes it then very simple to understand the data you can then also invite users create groups create link shares to get people into that data environment and then finally the aspect of tracking progress this is also a key one as a construction company or a survey company you need to know where the work stands how the progress is going on so Trimble Connect allows you to do that you can assign to do is our tasks to cruise in the field or to other stakeholders and then you can track completion you can set deliverable dates and status on those you can also keep track of your data you can understand what happened to the data who altered or changed data at what time and again this allows much more stakeholders to work on one data set one common basically set of information and also before we set the data needs to be available in the field so for that we also offer field applications so mobile application that allows you to get this complex data into the hands of field workers so that they can understand what's going on in the field if you if you do point cloud analysis in a certain area you can stream that out use that data directly in the field to understand what is going on and basically improve productivity out in the field I put together two customer examples of two of our customers using connect very effectively one is a project in Norway back in light rail and they used connect to quickly capture and then visualize the data the focus was really to create a completely digital workflow in which they would be able to cover the entire workflow and create a paperless work approach so they used Trimble connect sx 12 the TC seven so basically the full sensor field device setup and based on that created a very efficient workflow that kept the communication times at a minimum and really created a fully digital workflow another really attractive example is the a project in Switzerland done by the company Donach and partner they looked at modifying or renovating a complex tunnel structure and created a whole range of deliverables that they would share with stakeholders across the industry for various steps in their process being able to understand that complex data and being able to work on on that even capturing virtual reality type applications finally to wrap it up Trimble connect really is a very powerful environment that allows you to get different stakeholders into one easy to use environment gives stakeholders very simple access but it's also part of a wider ecosystem and the presenter following me will also focus on that area to give you an insight in what other solutions Trimble has connect is the let's say the glue between all these applications gradually following our connect and scale strategy we will bring more and more capabilities into the cloud with a strong focus on productivity getting the data into the cloud getting the processing into the cloud and as Trimble we're really also a renucley position to do that based on the breadth of our solutions with that at the end of my presentation thank you if there are any questions reach out to me or meet us at the booth of Trimble
