The Importance of Technology in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction

Organizations in the AEC industry stand a lot to gain by embracing digital transformation—and they also risk facing some of the heaviest losses if they fall behind in keeping IT systems up to date and adopting new technologies.

Every modern business relies on safe and effective IT services, but some industries need specialized care. Architecture, engineering, and construction firms have unique IT needs ranging from security and accessibility over multiple locations to process optimization, accuracy, and scalability.

Digital transformation in these spaces means implementing solutions that allow firms to gain access to accurate data more quickly and securely. Providing technology solutions that allow office-based employees, field-based employees and contractors to be more productive and collaborative enables firms to stay on budget, on timeline, and to deliver great end results for their customers.

Conversely, with antiquated IT systems and support, AEC firms risk not only a loss in productivity and accuracy of data, but also risk security breaches. More than 75% of construction and engineering businesses report experiencing a cyber incident within the last year, and construction companies are among the most likely of any industry to pay ransoms after a ransomware attack—with the average ransom totaling over $170K.

As one of the top technology solutions providers for AEC companies, AIS understands these needs and provides practical answers for this key industry.

How Are Technology Needs Unique in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Industry?

In order to execute projects accurately and on time, organizations in this industry have specific technology needs. Some essential IT functions for any AEC business include:

Availability

Users need to be able to access data quickly, from any location, especially when working in the field.

Accuracy

From project initiation through billing, there are a lot of steps in the construction process that run the risk of errors due to manual intervention. There’s a large need for automation and ease of data entry to ensure accurate information is communicated every step along the way.

Scalability

With the fluctuation of project load, the need for temporary worksites, and frequent contractor onboarding and offboarding, organizations in the AEC industry need the ability to scale resources up or down as needed and to consolidate resources to increase efficiency.

Security

Architecture, engineering, and construction companies face unique cybersecurity risks, including:

  • Highly targeted cyber attacks, especially through email, that target customer payment information, bid data, or intellectual property.
  • Low technology adoption that leaves data unsecured due to out-of-date systems and limited user knowledge of secure practices.
  • Shared resources across decentralized IT systems that introduce vulnerabilities.
  • Contractors who access networks and systems for limited periods of time, typically requiring ease of access that, if not managed and monitored closely, can “leave doors open” to your systems.
  • High mobile dependency, which requires advanced security for a range of devices and networks.
