Preparing for a Better Journey to Transformation featuring Vanessa Wieners, Topcon Positioning Systems

Most people know GPS as the technology that allows them to plot driving directions or locate a friend. But the technology is far more sophisticated than that and has many more applications as well. For example, in construction, geospatial technology makes it possible to visualize a building site using sensors that can ‘read’ the ground, alleviating the requirement for project managers to be on site. Vanessa Wieners is the SAP IT Operations Manager at Topcon Positioning Systems, a leading manufacturer for the construction, geospatial, and agriculture markets. Listen in as she describes the current applications of this exciting technology and her own company’s ongoing digital transformation journey with host Kevin L. Jackson.
