Sage North America won a Silver Edison award for its Job Ready educational resources, created to empower the construction and real estate industry to make smarter decisions and technology investments for their businesses. Sage was recognized for Business Optimization, part of the Innovative Services category, by the internationally renowned Edison Awards™. The distinguished awards, inspired by Thomas Edison’s persistence and inventiveness, recognize innovation, creativity and ingenuity in the global economy. The Edison Awards gala was held last night in San Francisco, Calif.
“It’s exciting to see companies like Sage continuing Thomas Edison’s legacy of challenging conventional thinking,” said Frank Bonafilia, Edison Awards’ executive director. “Edison Awards recognizes the game‐changing products and services, and the teams that brought them to consumers.”
Sage Job Ready, developed with brand innovation agency Speak!, provides a fresh approach to addressing the critical issues that shape today’s construction firms. It encourages construction professionals to think proactively about how to manage risk, improve communication and collaboration, win jobs, and make better business decisions. It also seeks to accelerate the construction industry‘s traditionally slow adoption of new technology.
“Changing the industry’s perspective on technology requires us to move from traditional product messages to discussing technology in the context of important business issues,” said Jon Witty, vice president and general manager of Sage Construction and Real Estate. “Sage Job Ready helps us show construction professionals, in their terms, how to succeed.”
The Edison Awards is a program conducted by Edison Universe, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization dedicated to fostering future innovators. The 2014 Edison Awards are sponsored by Ipsos.
