Tech Brief

The Associated General Contractors of America


January 2014
FOCUS ON TECHNOLOGY
There’s a mobile gold rush happening, but similar to the original one, it’s a little like the Wild West at the moment. With all the potential benefits mobile solutions bring, there are risks as well, and contractors need to address these at the corporate level. In the coming years it will be a challenge to wade through the hype to effectively select and implement technologies and policies that bring value to the organization without significantly increasing problems.

FOCUS ON INTEROPERABILITY - agcXML
For several years, AGC has been behind this important industry initiative called the agcXML project. As the nation’s leading construction industry association, AGC is always identifying, leading and promoting initiatives that are good for our contractor membership and the industry as a whole.

At the center of every construction project is the challenge of data exchange and integration. The lack of system interoperability within the construction industry is costing you time and money. Attend a demonstration at the 2014 Annual Convention in Las Vegas to see how AGC is working to make the industry more efficient.

FROM THE IT FORUM
Q: I would love a quick reply from everyone, with their SHORT LIST (top 3) Enterprise Construction Software programs in use. For example: Accounting, HR, Payroll, CRM, Fleet/Equipment Management, Field Time Entry/Project Management ... ALL UNDER ONE ROOF. If you could let me know what you have seen/used in the past as well, along with any praises or gotchas, that would be great.
