Construction
Technology that works on site, not just at head office.
Construction businesses operate from locations that change constantly, often with poor connectivity, harsh conditions and a workforce that is largely mobile.
Meanwhile the head office runs estimating, accounting and project systems holding contract and financial data that is attractive to fraudsters.
Sector pressures
Technology pressures in Construction
Site connectivity
Temporary sites need working connectivity quickly and then need it removed cleanly.
Mobile devices
Tablets and phones in demanding environments are lost and damaged more often than office equipment.
Drawing and document control
Working from a superseded revision is expensive, so version control genuinely matters.
Payment fraud
Large scheduled payments between contractors make attractive redirection targets.
Where we usually start
Where we usually focus for Construction
Internet & Connectivity
Circuits, failover and provider management for connections you depend on.
Computer & Endpoint Support
Consistent builds, maintained devices and planned replacement.
Collaboration & File Services
File structure, sharing policy and collaboration tools that people can use.
Email & Phishing Protection
Filtering, sender authentication and mailbox compromise detection.
Backup & Disaster Recovery
Protected copies that are isolated, monitored and proven to restore.
Managed IT Services
Your whole IT function, run and maintained as one accountable service.
A practical consideration for Construction
Site connectivity should be planned as a repeatable kit and process rather than improvised per project. That makes mobilisation faster and demobilisation complete.
