New Executive Overview Video on AASHTOWare Project Website
It’s easy to get comfortable with the terminology, systems and processes in AASHTOWare Project when you work with it every day. But for new employees or employees still learning about the software, it can be an overwhelming amount of information. This new video, narrated by Keith Platte, Director or AASHTOWare, covers each AASHTOWare Project module and how it fits into the comprehensive software platform. Find the new AASHTOWare Project Executive Overview by logging into aashtowareproject.org and navigating to Resources > Videos > Overview Videos > AASHTOWare Project Executive Overview.

Coming Soon: Executive Overview Resources
You may be familiar with the AASHTOWare Project product sheets, which go into detail about the benefits of functionality of each module. But what if you’re a high-level executive who doesn’t need to know the exhaustive list of module functionality, just the core benefits to the community you serve? New Executive Overview sheets are designed to be concise and provide resources needed to demonstrate how AASHTOWare Project modules help serve the all stakeholders and community. The Executive Overview sheets will be available soon via aashtowareproject.org.
