Companies face a series of challenges implementing risk management procedures and are able to learn from the experiences of other industries, such as manufacturing and the energy sector. One strategy that provides increasing benefit to construction companies is office automation technology, which locks down tools, information and assets while helping to drive up productivity and profitability.
One challenge is a multi-locational business structure. Companies must balance their in-office tasks with their on-site projects and the need to share information in real time between locations. This includes being able to transfer time and labor documents, as well as recognize changes to plans and accommodate client demands. The documents must be transferred between laptops, PCs, tablets and even smartphones in a secure fashion.
