From Fragmented Systems to Agentic Enterprise: How Engineering & Construction Leaders Are Using Workato + AI To Redesign Project Delivery

Event Description

Engineering and construction is at an inflection point: improving digital maturity and creating a firm‑wide technology strategy is now a top board‑level priority, yet most firms are still operating with a spiderweb of point‑to‑point integrations, manual reconciliations, and no single source of truth across ERP, project platforms, and field tools. The result is invisible drag on every job: slow RFIs, stale drawings, delayed cost visibility, and a workforce drowning in admin rather than driving project outcomes.

​In this executive session, ANSA and Workato will show how leading firms are using an integration and automation backbone to connect Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud, Aconex, Oracle/SAP, HR, and field systems, then layering orchestration AI on top to unlock faster decisions, fewer manual handoffs, and materially better margins.

​Who this is for

• ​CxOs, project executives, and operations leaders at construction, mechanical, civil, and specialty engineering firms who own P&L outcomes.

• ​CIOs, CTOs, and IT leaders who are inheriting a complex stack spanning ERP (SAP, Oracle, Viewpoint, CMiC, Sage), project platforms (Procore, ACC, P6), HR, CRM, BIM and CDEs, and need a unifying orchestration layer.​

• ​Strategy and transformation leaders tasked with moving from isolated pilots to a coherent automation & AI roadmap.

​What you will see

• ​How leading firms are:

  • ​Synchronizing drawings, RFIs, submittals, and issue logs across Autodesk ACC, Aconex, BIM 360, Procore and other CDEs, eliminating copy‑paste workflows and stale information.​

  • ​Connecting subcontractor invoices, change orders, and job cost data directly from project platforms to ERP, giving finance and project controls the same live numbers.​

  • ​Automating bid‑to‑project workflows, workforce onboarding, and access provisioning so new projects stand up in hours rather than weeks.​

• ​How orchestration AI is being applied today to:

  • ​Read RFIs, contracts, and lab reports, extract key data, classify risk, and route for review without manual retyping.​

  • ​Compare sequential drawing revisions and surface what actually changed, reducing design risk and manual comparison effort.​

  • ​Trigger predictive cost alerts and generate draft variance narratives before problems show up in monthly reports.

​Key takeaways

• ​A decision framework to prioritize high‑ROI automation and AI use cases across project controls, finance, field operations, and workforce management, rooted in what peers are actually deploying.​

• ​Reference architectures that show how Workato, AI services (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.), and your core applications (ERP, Procore/ACC, HRIS, CDEs) fit together without a rip‑and‑replace.​

• ​A practical 90‑day playbook to:

  • ​Identify 1–3 high‑impact workflows (e.g., CDE synchronization, field‑to‑finance, onboarding).

  • ​Stand up a governed integration & automation layer.

  • ​Layer in targeted AI workflows or agents to prove impact on cycle times, rework, and margin.

​Why attend

​You will leave with a concrete, engineering‑focused view of what an “agentic enterprise” looks like in EC: where to start, what to automate, how to bring AI into the mix without compromising governance, and how peers are already doing it with Workato. It is not a product pitch; it is a design session grounded in real projects, real constraints, and real numbers.
