The benefits of introducing Content Management to Building / Construction companies.

Marketing the services, expertise and track record on web sites is an important activity
for businesses that are Project based. The competitive nature of bidding means that every influence needs to be brought
to bear on the prospect. Current and accurate information on the web site is an essential element of the process. |

As projects take place at different locations, the IT infratructure needs to web based. A quality
Intranet is part of the necessary infrastructure to achieve good communication and collaboration across the miles. A Content Management system
makes the information available and can enable the content to be divided up so that relevant information is available to each location.

Employees distributed across locations require an easy means to share information and interact
with corporate services, an employee portal allows this to be achieved.

 |
Each project undertaken will need to draw on the existing knowledge resources of the company
and it will create lots of project specific documentation. These documents will need to be tracked for the duration of the
project and not lost when the main team on the project is re-assigned to other projects. A content management system can ensure
that the documentation is all retained and available as a knowledge base for subsequent activities such an enahancement project or a warranty claim.

 |
Most projects involve the use of sub-contractors and a multitude of suppliers. To achieve effective
communication with these organisations, project specific web-sites and extranets are likely to be required. Content Management software
enables the correct information to be shared with the correct people without employing an army of administrators. |
