The construction and information technology industries seem like such polar opposites. One deals with a lot of physical labor while the other is totally technology-based. However, these two industries intermingle a lot more than you may think; in fact, employees in the construction industry must constantly adopt new forms of technology to achieve the time, cost, and quality goals of a project. Managed IT service providers and the construction industry work very closely when it comes to tracking the lifecycle of buildings and various construction phases, as construction firms are reliant on information to help them make decisions. The information should also enable task control, data integration, material and resource control, and communication between the suppliers and the company. Clearly, IT is a significant part of construction, so read on as we delve into how these industries work together to produce a robust and stable infrastructure for construction firms.
