In under nine months, a national contractor in Australia replaced fragmented GIS workflows with a single, site-ready geospatial platform. This session shares how Seymour Whyte, a Vinci subsidiary, avoided the costly, complex trap of enterprise GIS by scaling an existing platform that had already demonstrated significant organic growth and value within the business.
Seymour Whyte standardised workflows to stay ahead of the growing demands for accessible geospatial data on infrastructure construction projects, while simultaneously increasing team productivity and reducing project risk. Importantly, they also avoided years of implementation, specialist teams, and seven-figure budgets, while still meeting client expectations.
In this session, you’ll learn how they did it.
We cover the real-world outcomes of a national rollout of a geospatial platform in 2025, with lessons on overcoming the practical challenges of scaling enterprise technology – including implementation, training, change management, and systems integration. Attendees will learn why speed-to-value, ease of use, and site-ready tools matter, and how a People → Process → Technology approach helped drive adoption at scale.
If you’re responsible for leading construction teams, digital delivery, geospatial strategy, or enterprise technology decisions, this session shows that enterprise GIS doesn’t have to be painful or expensive, and that suitable alternatives to legacy platforms already exist.
