ProjectSight White Paper
Connecting Construction Operations with ERP
"Successful solutions of the future will give you full
control over integration, with touchpoints between
the operations and ERP systems and more. They
will be configurable, extensible and scalable to both
small and large businesses."
5. Automated, Dynamic Integration
Your provider should offer solutions that are fluid and easy to use. Be wary of "out-of-the-box"
solutions that require manual work for integration. Without dynamic integration, every transaction
must be approved individually in the project management system and then pushed to the ERP
system. You want a solution that automates this process.
6. A cost-effective pricing structures
You need to know the true cost right upfront. Does the pricing include catches such as usage-based
costs or payment for access to the APIs? Your ability to control costs and to effectively manage your
budget are crucial elements in construction project management and are a key advantage of an
integrated project management solution.
The future of construction is connected
From minor renovations to massive capital improvement programs, construction initiatives succeed
or fail based on the right people having the right data at the right time. As schedules and budgets get
tighter, organizations that have seamless communication between all stakeholders will have the edge.
At Trimble, we call this edge Connected Construction. The backbone of this connected environment is
integrated, dynamic solutions that give you the configurability and flexibility you need to address your
requirements and evolve over time, while reducing project management costs.
