Plenty of organisations are used to investing heavily in technology during the “pre-contract” stage. Such investments may cover planning and design, estimating and procurement, and we’re not even including the investment in the Sales and Marketing processes that generate the enquiry in the first place!
Further investment occurs at the costing and billing stage, be that for processing valuations and assessments, preparing and presenting final accounts or for managing and chasing debts. But what about actually getting the project delivered?
Has your business invested in Project Management software to help ensure that the plans and designs (and costs) are delivered on time, first time, every time?
The emergence of online project management software allows businesses to track and monitor entire projects, or individual processes in real time and provides information to both management and delivery teams to help ensure that projects run on track. 24/7 online Web-based access ensures that wherever you are, office-based or on-site, you can be up-to-date with current plans, schedules and events and have all the project documentation immediately at your fingertips.
The emergence and convergence of web-based and mobile technologies enable businesses to access this information in a way that has previously not been possible.
Perhaps for that reason alone, the time is right for your businesses to reassess whether their investment in technology to actually help them deliver their projects has been sufficient to date?
The good news is that whilst cloud technologies have driven accessibility up they have also driven costs down, both in terms of actual expenditure per month, and also in terms of flexibility, i.e. the ability to switch the service on and off as you need it – something that simply isn’t possible if you’ve invested in expensive hardware infrastructure within your own building.
One other point, cloud-based servers hosted in data centres tend to operate at a higher capacity, perhaps between 70% – 90%. What is more, they are fully maintained and constantly upgraded to the latest versions of all application and security software. Compared to office based servers, perhaps operating at a fraction of their capacity and subject to ever increasing upgrade, maintenance and staff costs. It is easy to see where the savings come from.
