IMPACT OF DOING DOUBLE ENTRY
Impacts of Doing Double Entry for Contractors
Rated medium, high or very high by contractors who use an owner's PMIS and their own on projects
Contractors who stated that they do double entry due to
the requirement to use the owner's PMIS were asked
about the impact of that activity.
The chart at right shows that most contractors struggle
with several issues due to the need to do double entries:
■
73% report medium or higher impacts on the
productivity of workers, and many (43%) state that
those impacts are high or very high.
■
70% find the speed of information workflow and
cycle times are impacted, and half of those report a
high/very high impact.
■
Around 60% also report at least moderate impact
on the frequency of data entry errors and the speed
of decision-making on their projects.
■
Nearly half (46%) see a medium impact that is
meaningful on their project schedules.
Contractors may find that they need to compensate
for these issues, with higher bids, longer schedules
or other factors that could impact the overall project
budget or schedule.
