Company

Legacy to Cloud

On-Premises Only
Flagship product locked to desktop with no cloud or mobile access for teams in the field
Waterfall Process
Slow release cycles and rigid development methodology limiting product evolution
No Mobile Presence
Project teams had no way to access critical data from job sites or meetings

Giving you Control & Flexibility

I led the cloud migration of Newforma’s flagship PIM solution, transforming it from an on-premises desktop product into a modern cloud platform with native mobile apps. Newforma keeps project data secure, readily available, and easy to access — whether you’re on the go, at the job site, or in a meeting. Our software automatically indexes all digital project data, creating a powerful connection between people, processes, and their data. We also transformed the company from Waterfall to Agile/Kanban and launched an Early Adopter Program and Customer Advisory Board to drive product-market fit.

Cloud Migration
Migrated flagship PIM from on-premises to cloud in 9 months with full data ownership and selective sharing.
Mobile Launch
Native iOS and Android apps giving field teams on-demand access to project data anywhere.
Agile Transformation
Transformed development from Waterfall to Agile and Kanban for faster iteration.
Customer Programs
Launched Early Adopter Program and Customer Advisory Board for direct user feedback.
Industry Partnerships & API Ecosystem
