FACT: The $4 trillion per year Construction Industry ranks 87th globally, among Industries in the adoption of Technology.

Although the majority of Construction Industry players (the individuals and firms) are using some form of technology or software to manage their day-to-day operations, these solutions, on a whole, have been implemented on a piecemeal basis. In other cases, IT investment strategies have not complimented growing business needs, especially where more advanced IT tools are required to further enhance productivity and profitability.” Coupled with this scenario, the Construction Industry is fragmented and a synergetic interaction between different parties is rare, and often occurs mainly for the purpose of implementing projects.

Overall, on a global scale, the Construction Industry is showing growing awareness of the role of Information Technology (IT) as a key tool which can be used to improve competitiveness in construction and the need to develop appropriate solutions. The reality is that managing information technology in large enterprises is complex. However, we have found that the root causes of dissatisfaction with return on IT lie primarily in organization and business issues, not technology.

At KarpeDium we are strong proponents of business-driven IT as a management process that uses business priorities to improve the effectiveness of your IT investments. It improves IT value creation in the short-term (by rationalizing the project portfolio), medium-term (optimizing the portfolio), and long-term (by embedding prioritization discipline in the governance process.

The Need for IT
Construction today is too complex, with reams and megabytes of information in the form of drawings, contracts, reports, charts and worksheets. Accurate information is the lifeblood of construction. As one of the most information intensive industry, schematic drawings, electrical circuits, cost analysis sheets, budget reports, risk analysis charts, contract documents all form the foundation for any construction project decisions. When decisions are called everyday during project life cycle, the amount of information created here is enormous even for a small-sized construction project.
Accurate information is the lifeblood of construction profitability. The right information at the right time enables you to make the right decision, one that makes a positive difference to the bottom line.
How are the project manager and teams from multi-disciplines going to simplify and get to the right information? From the business perspective, information and knowledge management in a construction project is crucial to good and profitable business decision making and management.
