At Autodesk University 2026: The Design & Make Conference (AU), IMAGINiT Technologies, a division of Rand Worldwide, will demonstrate how organizations can reduce barrier points in their organization by connecting the people, processes, data and technologies that already power their businesses. Through conversations at Booth #1404 and five AU sessions, IMAGINiT experts share practical strategies for eliminating workflow friction, getting more value from existing technology investments and creating a stronger foundation for future initiatives. AU 2026 takes place September 15–17 at The Venetian Expo, Las Vegas, NV.
“Organizations have invested significantly in the technologies that drive their businesses, yet more technology doesn’t always mean fewer bottlenecks—in fact, it can sometimes make it worse,” says Bill Zavadil, president and chief operating officer, IMAGINiT Technologies. “The opportunity for efficiency gains lies in uncovering how people work and learn, how data moves through the business and where processes are breaking down or are antiquated. By connecting people, processes and data with existing technologies, we remove friction, improve productivity and create a strong foundation for automation, analytics and AI.”
Creating Enterprise Flow Without Friction
IMAGINiT helps customers accelerate the flow of data by automating manual and repetitive processes, developing custom software to address unique business needs, and preparing customer data and technology environments for AI. IMAGINiT workforce development and learning programs help people adopt new capabilities and work more effectively, while more than 30 proprietary integrations connect the applications customers use every day without forcing them to change workflows or recreate information across systems.
IMAGINiT continually invests in innovative solutions that help customers ensure the flow of their enterprise data. To this end, at AU IMAGINiT will share details on an upcoming Microsoft Outlook integration with Autodesk Forma®, that enables project communications and information to flow more seamlessly from Outlook into the project environment.
