Preconstruction mistakes rarely stay in preconstruction. They show up later as change orders, schedule delays, rework, communication breakdowns, and lifecycle costs that were never reflected in the original budget.

In Penny’s latest article, we break down seven common preconstruction pitfalls: including rough “guess-timates,” incomplete site intelligence, siloed teams, missed clashes, unrealistic schedules, stakeholder disconnects, and ignoring long-term operating costs.

The article also explains how Building Information Modeling (BIM) can provide a clearer path forward. With 5D cost data, 4D scheduling, digital site modeling, clash detection, visualization, and lifecycle information, BIM helps teams make better decisions before problems reach the field.

AI experimentation is easy. Turning it into measurable business value is the real challenge.

In his latest article, Splashwire CEO Josh Hinkle explains how AIOaaS (AI Operations as a Service) helps organizations move beyond disconnected pilots and toward practical, secure, sustainable results.

The approach brings together:
• Strategic use-case identification
• AI policy and governance
• Employee training and adoption
• Data security and risk management
• Ongoing measurement and operational support

The goal isn’t to chase the latest AI trend. It’s to build a roadmap around meaningful outcomes: such as improved productivity, stronger workflows, reduced risk, and measurable ROI.

County governments across Pennsylvania face a unique challenge: delivering robust cybersecurity and strict compliance alignment without the luxury or budget of a full-time, in-house CISO.

In our latest post on The Wire, we break down why partnering with a Virtual CISO (vCISO) gives public sector leaders the executive-level guidance, risk management, and regulatory alignment they need: without the friction and hiring hurdles of a permanent staff addition.

In logistics and 3PL, speed is the currency of survival. But when information can't move as fast as the freight, operations stall. 📦

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is the invisible engine powering purchase orders, ASNs, invoices, and inventory updates. Yet, onboarding new partners and managing incompatible data standards often traps IT teams in endless support loops.

In our latest article on The Wire, we break down how Splashwire simplifies vendor integration for logistics leaders, taking the technical negotiation off your plate so your team can focus on growth and ex*****on.

A full-time CISO isn’t always the best fit for county government.

County agencies must protect sensitive constituent data, public safety operations, court systems, and essential services while navigating tight budgets, talent shortages, and growing ransomware threats. Hiring and retaining a seasoned security executive can be costly: and may provide more capacity than a county needs on a full-time basis.

A virtual CISO (vCISO) offers a practical alternative: executive-level cybersecurity leadership, compliance guidance, risk management, and incident readiness through a flexible engagement model.

With the right vCISO partner, county leadership can gain support with:

• Security strategy and governance
• CJIS, NIST, state, and cyber insurance alignment
• Risk assessments and remediation priorities
• Third-party risk management
• Incident response and business continuity planning
• Clear reporting for commissioners and executive teams

The result is stronger oversight, faster access to specialized expertise, and a security program aligned with the county’s actual needs and budget.

CEO calendars are wall-to-wall meetings, internal huddles, vendor chats, and operational check-ins. But the real time sink? The aftermath: cleaning up notes, drafting follow-up emails, and playing administrative air traffic controller.

In March, Splashwire CEO Josh Hinkle closely tracked the impact of using custom internal AI workflows to handle that administrative churn.

The result? 102 hours saved in a single month.

That’s more than two full work weeks of repetitive drag eliminated: not by working longer hours, but by letting AI handle the administrative heavy lifting so human judgment and leadership can stay focused on what actually moves the needle. And when the CEO gains that capacity, the whole organization runs smoother, leading to faster follow-ups and better client partnerships.
