Q:
Of all the hyped technology buzzwords today, document imaging and document management seem to top the list. I just don't get what all the fuss is about. Our construction company has been using an organized method of routing, saving and filing construction documents for years. Sure, it's more paper, but why should I trust all of my important documents to computers, which can lose data through viruses or power failure?

A primary factor in determining whether an outsourcing relationship succeeds or fails is the involvement of the ownership, upper management of the client and the ownership of the outsourced firm. Many owners, or upper management make the mistake of engaging a technology company, then handing off the operational aspect of that relationship to an individual that does not really have full insight into the agreement, nor do they have decision making authority within their own organization.

Q:
The economy has forced our company to diversify into new areas of construction. One area that we are trying to grow is a service contracting division. At this point, we are not very efficient at scheduling and dispatching our technicians. My boss would like to hire an additional dispatcher to help manage the scheduling, work orders and billing, but I'm not convinced. I've checked out some dispatch systems online, and I don't have a good feel for what we need. At what point is it worth the investment?

While times have been tough for some construction firms, many have weathered the storm well and are now in prime position to take advantage of the burgeoning recovery. These companies set lofty goals like saving a client millions of dollars or accelerating a project schedule by 10 percent. They create bids so confidence-inspiring they leave competitors flat-footed. Mere pipe dreams? Not for companies that adopt building information modeling (BIM).
