Benefits advice

Article Abstract:

The Construct IT report is not aimed at the information technology (IT) specialist, in the construction industry, but at managers who wish to invest in IT for their company. It is written specifically for the construction industry and therefore is very relevant. Some users of the report suggest its analysis of the benefits of investment into IT is not new and does not take into account the needs of different companies. The report will be most useful for smaller firms rather than the major companies which are already familiar with decision making assessments.
