From Implementation to Impact: Building Sustainable Newforma Adoption

Implementing new software is only the first step—lasting impact comes from adoption.

In this customer-led session, Chris Meehan and Angela Lawton of Osborn Engineering share how their 250-person firm moved from having no Project Information Management (PIM) system to achieving sustained, firmwide Newforma adoption. They’ll walk through their journey from platform evaluation and rollout to integration with Deltek, along with early challenges such as limited support resources and phased onboarding.

Attendees will gain practical insight into planning adoption, overcoming early struggles, and building internal support systems. The session will also highlight key lessons learned, how targeted training strategies increased adoption and utilization across teams, and how automation and workflow alignment helped embed the platform into daily operations.

Finally, Chris and Angela will share the next steps in their roadmap, including continued optimization, expanded integrations, and future initiatives to further enhance efficiency and user engagement across the firm.
