What is metadata and it's role in managing project information effectively? How can metadata reduce rework and litigation on projects? Join Joe Giegerich, CEO and founder of ProjectReady, and Shaili Modi-Oza, head of product development, as they discuss the importance of using metadata to categorize and classify project information, from project-level data to individual documents, in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry.

The conversation highlights the challenges of working with multiple systems and data silos in the AEC industry and emphasizes the need for a scalable taxonomy and consistent metadata to connect and manage project information. They discuss the benefits of metadata, such as improved searchability, consistent classification, and reporting. Implementing a coherent metadata structure enables better project information management, reduces risk, increases efficiency, and provides a holistic view of projects across different systems and organizations.
