BENEFITS AND
CHALLENGES OF
CONTRACTOR USE OF
THE OWNER'S PMIS
Both owners and contractors
recognize the value of using a
PMIS for exchanging information
on projects, and nearly all
contractors have to use an
owner's PMIS on at least some
of their projects. However, it is
rare for owners and contractors
to have the same PMIS system
or to be able to integrate the
two systems, and this forces
the contractors to frequently
do double entry or not include
projects in their own PMIS
systems. This causes contractors
challenges, but many owners do
not recognize the increased risks
contractors face.
