City of Redmond to Streamline Capital Program Management Using Aurigo Masterworks

Published

on

By

AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Aurigo Software, the leading provider of capital planning and construction management software for infrastructure and private owners, announced it has entered into a multiyear contract with the City of Redmond, Washington, to modernize its Capital Improvement Program. Aurigo’s flagship product suite, Masterworks, will help the agency prioritize project investments and create long-range capital plans while providing real-time reports and forecasts throughout the program’s phases. The system will also manage all aspects of project delivery, including construction administration, document management, and tracking program performance.

The City of Redmond is located less than 20 miles east of downtown Seattle. Known for its lush green landscapes and as a hub for technology, Redmond is home to several major corporations, including Microsoft’s headquarters, which significantly contribute to its economic profile. Today, the City has around 75,000 residents and 95,000 jobs, and by 2030, it is expected to have 78,000 residents and 119,000 jobs. Redmond also prides itself on providing extensive recreational activities, as it is surrounded by forests and trails, making it well-known for hiking, biking, horseback riding, and birdwatching.

“We are excited to partner with the City of Redmond and provide a modern, intuitive, integrated solution to meet its capital planning and project delivery goals,” said Balaji Sreenivasan, CEO and founder of Aurigo Software. “As Redmond continues to flourish as a technology hub, Masterworks will enable the City to keep pace with its growth by optimizing resources and ensuring efficient project execution. We are committed to supporting Redmond in delivering infrastructure improvements that meet the needs of its expanding community.”

Aurigo Masterworks will enable the agency to gather proposed projects, prioritize them, and estimate costs accurately. The platform’s what-if analysis will help identify the best project combinations based on available funding and strategic priorities. Once projects are underway, the system will help monitor schedules, resource availability, and contract status to ensure timely and on-budget completion.

This initiative will also establish standardized processes to reinforce best practices for the City, including streamlining workflows, integrating with existing systems, and enabling role-based access and permissions. Enterprise-wide dashboards and reports will provide agency executives with the right data to aid decision making. These processes will be fully auditable and will ensure complete transparency, delivering a consistent approach to capital program management.

Redmond joins King County and the city of Seattle, both Washington-based Aurigo partners, along with several other agencies across North America (including the cities of Portland and Las Vegas and regional agencies in Colorado, Florida, and Ontario, Canada) using Masterworks to digitize their capital programs. The company has seen an increase in demand from the public sector as agencies are looking to adopt modern cloud-based solutions to boost productivity and achieve cost savings.

European Chips Skills Academy Unveils Comprehensive Skills Strategy to Boost Competitiveness of Semiconductor Ecosystem

Published

on

By

BRUSSELS, Nov. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The European Chips Skills Academy (ECSA), an EU-funded initiative coordinated by SEMI, today announced the publication of the Skills Strategy report by DECISION Etudes & Conseil that outlines the strategic approaches required to tackle Europe’s growing talent shortage in the semiconductor sector. The report provides critical insights into the industry’s workforce demand and supply, while outlining methods to address the talent gap by 2030.

With increasing demand for chips and the investments from the EU Chips Act beginning to gain traction, the semiconductor industry is expected to experience substantial growth in the coming years. The report shows a projected employment annual growth rate of 5% by 2030, with more than 271,000 job openings expected over the forecast period. However, the current pipeline of graduates is not growing at a sufficient rate to match this growth. The report predicts a shortage of over 75,000 technical jobs across key areas such as hardware and software engineering, technicians, and data specialists.

Despite Europe producing over 1.1 million STEM graduates in 2022 and 320,000 in semiconductor related fields of study, only 6% of European STEM graduates are expected to enter the semiconductor industry. With many of these graduates opting for engineering careers in unrelated domains or positions beyond traditional engineering sectors, it is essential for Europe to respond to solve the talent gap.

ECSA’s Skills Strategy recommends both short- and long-term solutions. In the short-term, Europe should optimize the existing labor supply by improving EU-wide mobility, simplifying visa processes for non-EU workers, and reskilling current employees to meet evolving needs.

“Strategic communications campaigns will be pivotal in driving long-term growth in student interest in semiconductor-related disciplines,” said Laith Altimime, President of SEMI Europe. “The influx of STEM graduates into the sector is heavily shaped by the industry’s ability to project a compelling image, further enhancing its attractiveness as a desirable and innovative field for emerging talent.”

“Collaboration between education and industry needs to be strengthened to meet the long-term demand of the industry,” said Raphaël Beaujeu, Senior Consultant at DECISION Etudes & Conseil. “Aligning the academic curricula with the needs of the sector will ensure a sustainable pipeline of skilled workers that can drive innovation and productivity in Europe.”

Initiatives such as ECSA are well positioned to help address the talent gap by offering relevant training with input from industry. The wide network of companies involved with the ECSA aid in promoting STEM careers and ensuring a diverse workforce.

With the semiconductor industry at the core of global digital transformation, Europe’s ability to close the skills gap in its ecosystem will be crucial in maintaining competitiveness on the global stage.

Elsa commented on putting family first: “When it comes to family holidays, Abu Dhabi has it all. Whether it is for us as a couple or a family, every day here is a new adventure, there is something for each one of us to enjoy and discover. My kids have fallen in love with Abu Dhabi, as it gives them a playground for all the things they want to do. Whether it’s theme parks with exciting roller coasters, dune bashing and horse riding in the desert to catching the best wave, Abu Dhabi has it all and is now our must-do holiday spot.”

Chris reflected on creating memories: “We’re thrilled to partner with Experience Abu Dhabi. Abu Dhabi’s got everything we love all in one place. The adventures have left us with amazing memories that will last a lifetime—you can tell how special it was since the kids didn’t want to leave. We’ve loved everything about the culture, the people and the experiences. It’s a place where we can unwind, and relax, with the feeling of being at home. We’ve travelled the world, but Abu Dhabi has captured our hearts. We’re already planning for our next trip!”

As heard in the film, the message “Could Use A Vacation Right Now” resonates with the world. So many of us are drowning in deadlines, work commitments, and a never-ending to-do list—dreaming of that next great holiday. In Abu Dhabi, you can swap your daily routine for the perfect escape, from inspiring cultural experiences to galloping across desert dunes, riding waves at Surf Abu Dhabi and reconnecting with loved ones under a stunning sunset on a white-sand beach.

The campaign film showcases how Abu Dhabi inspires every family to find their own pace—a destination brimming with new adventures and countless opportunities to create lasting memories. From kayaking around Louvre Abu Dhabi to thrilling rollercoasters, all wrapped in the warmth of Emirati hospitality, the couple had the perfect family getaway. They savoured traditional Emirati cuisine before sunset strolls on the beach, feeling welcomed and at ease.
