Engineering and construction (E&C) companies have traditionally accepted this volatility as a result of the inherent complexity of jobs: Construction projects bring together contractors, suppliers, equipment, labor, and global supply chains that are more precarious than ever. But one root problem is that most E&C companies are still trying to juggle this high level of complexity with a relatively low level of technology adoption. The construction industry lags far behind nearly all others in digitization, spending less than 2% of revenue on Information Technology

Engineering Data Management is all about the creation, version control and fast retrieval of documents. It has little or nothing to do with formal change management, or building a reliable audit trail. Engineering Data Management Systems should make life for the engineer as simple as possible without introducing too much complexity. Document control on the other hand, is the management of documents through their life cycle with a much higher degree of reliability for security, version control, review cycle, visibility, availability and, most importantly, for a controlled and reliable audit trail.

Reliable subcontractors who can deliver work on time are vital for keeping any project on budget and on schedule. And choosing the wrong subcontractor introduces risk to your project that grows exponentially as time goes on. It’s clear that picking the right subcontractor is one of the most important jobs a head contractor does, but it’s also one of the most difficult. Slow, manual processes can impede your ability to find the right subcontractors, choose the best tender, and effectively communicate with your subcontractors when the project starts.

State governments across the US need to integrate their planning and development of public infrastructure if they are to deploy funds from the new Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) effectively, future-proof their communities, and maximize the value of the capital they employ. The case for integration is strong from both a financial and a social perspective, with the potential to help the country meet a number of infrastructure-related challenges.

Many argue tha the major driver to better manage this complexity is the engineering paradigm of Industry 4.0. To succeed in this new age, engineers must look for solutions to adapt engineering to a more dynamic world. This white paper introduces a solution to address the engineering challenges of the modern-day industrial revolution.
