PRO TIP: Why are you putting up with partnerships that slow you down? You have a business to run!
Productivity is absolutely essential in the construction business and technology can provide a competitive edge when it comes to helping construction firms complete projects faster, more efficiently, and with fewer resources.
When your technology isn’t properly managed, it can tank your productivity. It can be tempting to save money by not investing in your IT and security and going with “the cheapest IT provider.” This may help lean out operating expenses in the short-term, eventually there is a price to be paid when productivity comes to a halt.
Often, with “Cheap IT,” your employees get tied up for several hours while going through varying levels of technicians troubleshooting over the phone. Once the Cheap IT company determines they need to send someone out to your location for help, they may not have a local resource, so it takes additional time for them to outsource a local third party to assist. When your team calls the help desk and has to waste their valuable time troubleshooting over the phone and waiting for help, then “cheap IT” isn’t so cheap anymore.
Without a competent IT partner, it is challenging to move beyond outdated processes and technologies that slow you down. A strategic IT partner will understand the plight of the construction industry and bring solutions and processes that drive productivity.
