Cloud Computing and Its Implications for Construction IT
Abstract
By nature, a construction company needs to have data and information readily available at any stage and at any location. Given the often unstructured and fluid nature of construction activities, construction personnel face the challenge of collecting as well as collating data while on the move and at work under field conditions. With the advent of cloud computing and the rapidly increasing reach of the internet through wireless and mobile network carriers, construction companies are increasingly beginning to explore the power of information technology through cloud and IoT platforms. While at one stage, the cost of maintaining IT infrastructure was expensive for construction companies and engineering firms of all sizes, the rise of cloud computing has enabled to rationalize costs and investments while retaining high levels of productivity and service. This chapter discusses the various options that construction companies now have to choose from to streamline operations and increase productivity.
