Healthcare Client
During a key healthcare client meeting, this client expressed a need to visualize their strategic plan by region, city, and street level. Their goal was to see their current locations by type, competitor locations, and key performance indicators in one map. Unsure how to accomplish this, the Account Manager gathered our Civil Department Manager, BIM/VDC Technical Specialist, and Senior Marketing Coordinator for a brain storming session. As the team discussed the project parameters, it was clear that our typical graphic programs would not provide the dynamic visualization required by the client.
Thinking outside the box, the team began exploring Mapline, a sales and marketing program, as a possible solution. SSOE’s marketing and BIM/VDC technical specialists worked together to explore visualization options, input owner provided detailed data sets, and develop a methodology for the client to visualize a graphic region by isolating or combining data sets. Mapline also provides the ability to overlay information critical to understanding market share by zip code or county borders. This data can be further enhanced by “heat mapping” to add visual clarity to a strategic plan.
The client came to us with the expectation of developing a static graphic poster and was delivered an interactive web-based tool that provided the flexibility to toggle data sets on and off. Upon presentation of Mapline as a strategic analysis tool, the client was pleased with our solution and the possibilities it provided. They were so pleased that they asked us to expand the project scope and map multiple regions.
Managing “big data” is a non-typical project for SSOE. We accepted the challenge and developed a client-specific hybrid team to leverage a web-based tool that allowed our client to analyze market share and explore possible site selection locations via an interactive platform. The result of this collaboration was the perfect solution which exceeded our client’s strategic planning needs and expectations.

We found ourselves in need of a more robust tool to enhance resource forecasting and staff assignment capabilities. Instead of waiting for the perfect tool, we’re building it. SSOE’s in-house technology team has developed and piloted a tool that aims to forecast optimal staff mix and duration for new projects against existing workload to better understand capacity and manage resources efficiently. Additionally, the tool will allow teams to identify gaps to optimal staff mix.
SSOE has developed a proof-of-concept to use an AI Agent to act as a Master Engineer and Architect trained in SSOE’s processes, best-known-methods, and trainings. Our data structure is being remodeled to enable better use of our proprietary knowledge to train the agent on the ‘SSOE way’.
We helped our client visualize and optimize façade design for occupant comfort—long before breaking ground through the use of the Autodesk Forma tool. It allows the designer to rapidly experiment with the building’s geometry and façade design to promote sustainability, prioritizing quality of spaces and comfort for end uses, especially in extreme climates (daylighting and microclimate analysis tools) at the project’s exact geographic location, using location-specific environmental data.

Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) is SSOE’s enterprise-wide project delivery platform. We partner with the Autodesk Product team and have research access. Use of the AI Assistant allows our design teams, owners, and general contractors the ability to query the project specifications for quality, answers, and more rapid responses to RFIs, submittals, or issues.
SSOE is utilizing Microsoft Copilot to significantly enhance work efficiency and accuracy across various departments. Copilot is accessible to all staff after training. Key areas of application include using it as a writing assistant, for idea generation, document summarization and generation, research assistant, excel assistant, programming code assistant, language translations, product comparison and data analysis. Use of Copilot has become part of the everyday life of SSOE employees who have identified key ways it can help them become more efficient with their daily tasks as well as more accurate in their deliverables.
Today, 75% of SSOE employees are have taken the training and have access to Copilot, with a goal of 100% of employees using Copilot by October 1, 2025.
SSOE is actively piloting AI copilots that use Natural Language Processing (NLP) to streamline both design and development tasks, transforming how our teams interact with software and each other.
By integrating copilot engines into platforms like Revit and GitHub, we’re enabling users to prompt complex actions using simple, conversational commands. In Revit, this means automating tasks such as cleaning up parameter data, managing annotations and dimensions, and organizing sheets—without writing scripts. These automations can be shared across project teams, accelerating workflows and reducing manual effort.
Similarly, our internal Software Development Community is leveraging GitHub Copilot to expedite coding tasks. Developers can generate and refine code using NLP prompts, tapping into GitHub’s enterprise knowledge base to move faster from concept to implementation.
Together, these tools represent a shift from traditional, expert-driven scripting to intuitive, AI-assisted collaboration, unlocking new levels of efficiency and scalability across our projects.
