Toronto, Nov. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CMiC, the leading provider of AI-powered construction ERP, today kicks off the 28th annual CONNECT customer conference, taking place November 1–4 at the JW Marriott Grande Lakes in Orlando, Florida. CONNECT 2026 brings together 900 customers, partners, industry leaders, and product specialists for more than 30 sessions, 30+ speakers, and four brand-new experiences, all designed to make this the most impactful CONNECT yet.
CMiC Introduces NexusAI: The New AI Launchpad Under the NEXUS Umbrella
True to form, CONNECT 2026 will serve as the stage for the latest CMiC product launches and platform updates, giving attendees a first look at what is next for AI in construction.
This year, CMiC leaders will introduce NexusAI, the new AI Launchpad in NEXUS. Users can launch AI agents and surface ERP content just by asking in plain language, with no screens to navigate. Powered by the CMiC MCP Server, NexusAI runs every request within existing security settings and user permissions. With NexusAI, construction teams gain real-time KPIs and alerts at a glance, guided workflows driven by document uploads or plain-language requests, and the ability to create jobs, budgets, invoices, and more through a simple request, review, and confirmation process.
According to Steve Cangiano, Chief Product Officer at CMiC, “This release of NEXUS builds on the first, sharpening our feature set surrounding job costing and payroll. With these new AI-powered capabilities, job costing runs more efficiently and accurately, payroll data is better protected, and project teams have real-time visibility across every phase of work. This is what a truly AI-powered ERP should deliver: real operational impact that also builds a more connected workforce.”
