AASHTOWare Communication
Adequacy of AASHTOWare organization product
capability communications … comments
• Capabilities are communicated to known contacts;
however, information is not distributed lower in the
organization.
• AASHTO does a good job, but the news has to be heard
by the recipients.
• Communication has been focused on business areas
rather than the IT areas of the agencies. Many of the
products require a lot of behind the scenes IT
configuration to get them to work in our environment.
AASHTOWare Communication
Adequacy of AASHTOWare organization product
capability communications … comments
• Product training, solicitation, and functionality are
lacking
• Communication is inadequate. Most DOT employees
are not aware of the AASHTOWare rebranding effort
that took place 2 years ago and still refer to the software
using their old names.
From an IT organization perspective, specific areas
that should be improved in AASHTOWare product
delivery
2013 2014
• Improved quality and testing (6) (7)
• Speed to market (6) (7)
• Mobile development (4) (2)
• Reduce licensing fee (1) (1)
• Configurable (2)
Additional information or comments on the survey
• Many states have in-house non-AASHTOWare applications
for engineering functions that could be shared. AASHTO
could serve as a catalog source and clearing house for
states to exchange or provide applications to one another.
• Reduce the number of questions on the survey to secure
more timely responses and also a larger number of
responses. If there is a desire to continue to use all these
questions, consider asking half of the questions one
year and the other half the following year.
