ADR Software Contracted to Provide Automated Workforce Monitoring Service at Construction Sites in Denver, Baltimore and Washington, DC Metro Areas


Reston, VA (PRWEB) April 30, 2012

ADR Software, LLC, manager of the Automated Daily Reporting Network and the Workforce Monitor service, today announced that it has been retained by four large general contractors to initiate workforce monitoring and reporting services at new projects located in Aurora, Colorado; Greeley, Colorado; Washington, DC and Baltimore, Maryland. Clients include Kiewit-Turner, Twin Contracting, HITT Contracting and Turner Construction.

“We are pleased to have been given these important assignments,” said Bruce Labovitz, ADR’s co-founder and President. “These are big and complex projects spread out over large areas that require timely information regarding labor and manpower activities. Workforce Monitor gives the project managers and project administrators access to real-time insight into the composition of their workforce at any given time. Using any web-enabled device like a cell phone, an iPad, a laptop or tablet, project managers can evaluate not just who actually came to work today but also who was supposed to come to work today and who is still at work at any given time during the day. ADR’s real-time workforce information is invaluable in bringing a project to conclusion on-time and on budget.”

“One of our customers is using Workforce Monitor to insure compliance with local economic development and hiring objectives,” Labovitz continued. “With Workforce Monitor on site the client is able to evaluate their compliance on a daily, monthly or project-to-date basis. We believe this real-time analysis provides a competitive advantage in the bidding process and we work closely with our general contractor clients to include ADR in their bid packages.”

ADR also announced that its database of manpower had grown to over 20,000 registered (or tagged) resources. ADR’s Workforce Monitor service is the pedestrian equivalent to the RFID-based automated highway toll collection systems. With ADR’s proprietary Automated Daily Reporting Network, all ADR portals are connected together so a worker who has an ADR tag on their hard hat can be read at any Workforce Monitor enabled project. As such, ADR is able to track workers and sub-contractors across multiple projects for a single general contractor while eliminating the need for redundant data collection and processing. ADR’s Workforce Web Application interacts with leading construction management systems to seamlessly integrate data collected in the field with daily reports, work schedules and accounting requirements.

Workforce Monitor is a service of ADR Software, LLC headquartered in Reston, Virginia. General contractors, owners, project managers and sub-contractors use the service to empower real-time workforce decision making, to provide invaluable project workforce documentation, to improve safety awareness and response readiness and ultimately to manage risk.

Workforce Monitor utilizes RFID tags, embedded in stickers affixed to hard hats and ID badges, to monitor workforce traffic without delays, interruptions or intrusions. Workforce Monitor is currently monitoring over 20,000 workers at construction sites throughout the United States.

DataPoint Expands and Opens Second Data Center in Baltimore


Baltimore, MD (PRWEB) November 08, 2011

The new 10,000 sq. ft. facility will be contiguous to their current data center and is a seven month, multi-million dollar project. DataPoint currently operates in six cities including Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Columbus, and Boston. DataPoints new data center will provide companies from the greater Baltimore region with the ideal environment for economically hosting their business critical applications, enabling them to increase the availability of their companies data. With the deployment of our more advanced product suites, particularly in the Cloud-Virtual and Managed Services applications, we have expanded dramatically to serve our growing customer base. Our second data center is being built in response to the regions appetite for more cost-effective and reliable IT outsourcing solutions, and driven by customer demand for our specific products and services, Curtis DePass, General Manager of DataPoint, states.

DataPoint continues to be the leader in managed hosting and the largest data center company in the Greater Baltimore region. The new facility will provide them with the capacity to meet the demand for high quality data center space in Baltimore and is designed as a platform for their managed service offerings. These services allow the customer to focus on their business critical applications and not have to worry about the cost of building and maintaining the infrastructure that houses their IT environment.

The second DataPoint Data Center will have top tier features including 5,500 sq. ft. of raised floor, dual power feeds, redundant 800KW Caterpillar generators, upgrades to 410 tons of cooling with 8 new CRAC units, multi carrier telecommunications infrastructure, multi-tiered security system, FE25 fire suppression system and a fully staffed 24x7x365 Operations Support Center (OSC).

We will be holding an Open House event on January 19th and all of our clients, as well as interested parties from the business and technology community are invited. This will be the first and only time that public tours will be available at our new data center, DePass comments. Interested participants can visit http://www.datapointinc.com/gettothepoint to register and receive additional information.

DataPoint has had growth and expansion on its mind for quite some time now. The other seven data centers, located in Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, Boston and Columbus, are all in the process of installing upgrades, making expansions and deploying new technologies.

Companies can benefit from working with an organization such as ours because we give them access to an extremely robust and reliable computing environment that is not economically feasible for most companies to build on their own, DePass comments. All DataPoint data centers have engineers onsite 24x7x365 to assist customers with any of their technical needs, which further increases the security and availability of their data cost-effectively, which is the ultimate goal.
