They must continue to become more interactive, easier to use, and more efficient every single day. The key is that our systems need to be proactive rather than reactive. With my new team, I will also ensure that every new business unit at AEC is able to start off with the best possible digital workspace environment that perfectly functions along the lines of our company-wide digital workplace strategy,” said Karunaratne.
