FOCUS ON TECHNOLOGY
The role of technology in the construction industry has changed dramatically in the past decade. The integration of computer-based, three-dimensional imagery in the design, planning and construction process is no longer a fancy tool to attract prospective clients; it is an essential part of a business that cannot be forgone. Those who have not embraced this technology run the risk of being outdated and outdone by competitors.

TECH TIPS
Google Docs is one of the most popular ways to share and collaborate with others on documents. However, the service often feels clunky, and lacks many Microsoft Office features.

FROM THE IT FORUM
I am wondering if anyone is currently using an asset tracking device(s) for their equipment and/or material. I am interested in asset trackers that have a self contained battery unit and report regularly. Additionally if they have the capability of setting up geofencing and notifications if they are removed from that fence. We currently have vehicle GPS tracking that works great, but are now looking for smaller units to track equipment and/or materials. Thanks in advance!
