12:15 – 1:00 Basecamp as a Means for Managing Information

We all manage large amounts of data with each job we do. This talk will focus on a cloud-based program called Basecamp and its approach to managing this information. Basecamp is a program that allows you, and whoever else you choose, to be part of an open (and closed to some) platform for discussions, file storage, scheduling, and task assignment. During the project the information is easily accessed, and updates are sent via email to those selected to be part of a discussion. Come see a demonstration of how we use this program, and some others, to keep the piles of paperwork at a minimum while maintaining a clear line of communication and a storage location that clients and subcontractors can access at any time after the project is complete. This will be an open format for audience input. The idea of this presentation is to share what we consider to be a seamless way to consolidate information for everyone on the project team.
