Construction

Modern construction companies rely on specialized programs and resources unique to their industry.

Construction projects involve a wide variety of workers, both in the office and out in the field, making seamless collaboration a challenge. However, successful projects—whether it’s a shopping center or a towering skyscraper—depend on engineers, architects, foremen, and office staff working together in real time.

What Are the Advantages of Partnering with a Managed Service Provider?

Whether you operate a large or small construction company, partnering with an IT provider offers numerous benefits, including:

Expert support for the technologies powering your core applications, including estimating, accounting, project management, document management, and scale management.
Access to a team of highly trained and specialized IT professionals.
Extensive experience with industry-standard software like Sage, JD Edwards, QuickBooks, and AutoCAD.
Fully managed cybersecurity services to protect your users and data from cyber threats.
Affordable, all-inclusive IT services that cover both standard and specialized needs.
Mobile Device Management (MDM) and remote access solutions to enable your team to work seamlessly from any location or device.

Do You Rely on an In-House IT Team?

Many construction companies maintain in-house IT departments, but this approach is becoming harder to justify. Housing an IT team requires dedicated space and equipment, along with competitive salaries to retain staff, as they may leave for better-paying opportunities.

A proven solution for many construction companies is to maintain a small in-house IT team to handle minor issues, like fixing malfunctioning computers, while outsourcing larger projects to a managed service provider. This approach allows your in-house team to focus on other priorities while ensuring that an experienced external team manages your IT infrastructure effectively.

How Strong Is Your Cybersecurity?

Partnering with our team of IT specialists helps minimize downtime caused by IT issues, allowing your staff to work efficiently with optimized software and hardware. We’ll ensure you stay informed about the latest security threats and take proactive measures to protect your business.

Hackers are successfully infiltrating even the most advanced Fortune 500 companies. Every day, we hear about a major breach at a hospital, retailer, bank, or social media platform. The cost of a data breach has skyrocketed to over a million dollars, and many companies never fully recover.

By working with a managed services provider, you gain access to a fully managed, multi-layered security system that safeguards your valuable data. We’ll also provide professional training for your employees, teaching them how to recognize and avoid the latest phishing emails and social engineering attacks.
