Converge Shortlisted for the BRE Canada Innovation Competition

Jason Kee, the Trade Commissioner for the High Commission of Canada just informed us that Building Research Establishment (BRE) Canada has selected Converge for the Canada Innovation Competition shortlist!

The chair of the judging panel, Wayne Ward, had this to say about Converge:

“Refreshingly simple in its concept, the package provides a resource effective response to the reams of paper inherent in the provision of O&M manuals. Meets the principles of BIM and could provide substantial cost savings in the provision of digital information throughout the buildings operations and management.”

We look forward to working with BRE and the High Commission as our plans for export market development continue in 2014.

Launch of Video Training

Due to client demand for properly produced video training, Converge are now offering choreographed recording of contractor and vendor training. We’ve called it Dynamic Video Training to highlight the flexibility in re-training new staff on the fly.

The value of training videos to help building managers train facilities staff is obvious, but all too often they are done poorly. Since Converge Digital Building Manuals have solved the issue of training videos being easily accessible and even searchable on any computer or smart device, our clients have started to utilize them.

Many original training sessions were poorly planned, not professionally filmed or edited and so we now offer re-training with our own qualified experts on projects that are too long after hand-over. On new projects we engage contractors from the project to deliver concise, professional results that are focused strictly on operation and maintenance.

Digital Building Manuals are easy!

Digital building operation and maintenance manuals are easy, they are just a bunch of files on CDs! – Right? This is what we hear and see delivered on many projects. However, owners and end users want more than ‘a bunch of CDs’, especially in an age where smart phones and tablet devices are everywhere. Owners want smart, searchable multimedia O&M manuals that can be used with all their computers and mobile devices. That is exactly what Converge™ delivers.

The technology to build a Converge™ digital O&M manual can sometimes take over our entire workspace. Converge™ is high tech to build but easy for end users to use, so YES, Digital Buildings Manuals are easy; easy to use!
