Gensler is a leading global architecture, design, planning and consulting firm that has 30 full service design and architecture offices and an additional 15 project offices around the world. In 2006, Gensler derived just 15 percent of its revenues from projects that were worked on by teams from multiple offices. Today that number has tripled to account for nearly 50 percent of its revenues. Gensler can tap its most specialized and highly experienced talent anywhere in the world -- to work on projects anywhere in the world -- for clients anywhere in the world, and do so cost-effectively.
In his session at Catalyst 2008, Bruce Bartolf, chief technology officer at Gensler, will explain how Gensler's use of WDS resulted in enhanced employee collaboration on large, even massive, projects between architects, planners and designers in multiple locations.
