67. From Paper-Based to Cloud-Based: One Contractor's Journey to Success with Robin Thorne

A change in processes a business uses can be a heavy lift even for the smallest of companies, but the need to change from paper-based to cloud-based is a necessary one. Updating and modernizing a contracting business is necessary to remain competitive. There are a million different ways to get on the cloud, and sometimes hearing how someone else did can ease the stress of transition. 
Fortunately, Robin Thorne joins Mike Merrill on our first episode in a series celebrating women in construction. Robin is the President and CEO of CTI - an engineering firm that provides environmental/safety compliance and construction management services. Robin is also the founder of DemoChicks, a nonprofit that introduces young women and girls to nontraditional careers and empowering them to pursue their dreams. She is going to share her journey to the cloud, how to use a dedicated IT professional, and how the cloud has improved communication with her subcontractors and helped eliminate human error.
