Connected Construction Whitepaper | 6 Connected Construction Whitepaper Key features project managers gain with a connected construction solution As a project manager, you are central to the connected construction experience. You're on the front lines of the construction ecosystem. You're the one most impacted by the problems resulting from using multiple, disparate systems. And you're the one on the hook when problems arise—which means you're often the one working into the wee hours of the morning to get all of your ducks in a row. Connected construction solutions can be transformative for you. Cloud-based workflows connect the data you need to the people who need it, when they need it. This enables more informed decision-making and better project outcomes without increasing your stress or level of manual effort. Here are several ways in which connected construction makes your life easier: Mobile access: Mobile applications leverage the power of the cloud and allow you to manage real-time data entry wherever your work takes you—whether you're in the back office, out in the field, at home, or sitting in a coffee shop. This access eliminates the need to manually collect data for later entry into a siloed system. One source of shared data: Everyone in your construction organization, as well as among your extended project teams, has access to a single shared set of consistently updated data that flows across all aspects of your projects. This keeps everyone working from the same page at all times. No more surprises or "I never saw this information" issues. Real-time project management tools and workflows: Work with your data and workflows in real time, and automate typically cumbersome workflows. You can quickly respond to on-the-ground changes, problems, and opportunities with accurate information when you need it, rather than waiting days, weeks, or even months to pull together much- needed project insights. Analytical and forecasting capabilities: You streamline and gut-check your current projects and get ahead of future work. Connected construction suites bring detailed analytics and reporting tools to the table that are easy for anyone to use. Identify trends or spot potential challenges and issues before they become onsite problems. You can also become the data- driven contractor you want to be, forecasting how future projects might fare and deciding whether they're worth bidding on. Connected Construction Whitepaper
