Welcome to ISN’s 2011 Annual Users Conference.  The ISN Annual Users Conference is an opportunity for Owner Clients, contractors, and other industry entities to come together and discuss best practices in contactor health, safety, and procurement. Owner Clients are sharing information on how their company uses ISNetworld to track and manage contractor compliance in industry breakout sessions. As every Owner Clients grades and use the system differently, each discusses the criteria to grade their contractors and the most important items in prequalification.

During each industry breakout session, multiple Owner Clients provide insight to why they have made the decision to use ISNetworld, what requirements are considered in their contractor approval and a brief background of their company. Many Owner Client presentations discuss the importance for contractors to populate their company information on the dashboard, as this information is used to search for new contractors. Several examples include populating your company’s dashboard contact, Federal ID number, work types, and geography served.  The forum will conclude with both Owner Clients and contractors providing feedback and answers on how their companies use ISNetworld.
