Today's technology gives the power of digital distribution and a digital response through email and the Internet. This communications ability can be brought right to the job site. The Site Manager electronically reconciles daily reports, payroll, equipment tracking and other project data to be instantly shared with the home office. The Project Manager can access project information anywhere-anytime. Status of every project is available immediately.
Wireless communication gives easy and sophisticated verbal and data exchange.
Many pervasive computing devices exist with either a built-in wireless communications system or have the necessary equipment to support standard mobile telephones most of us use today. Technology has developed to such a superior level, tracking individual projects has become almost mundane. Instead of stacks of binders with records with a page for each facet of a project's development, Project Managers have the power to electronically store the information. The most beneficial feature is the capability to include photos, correspondence, spreadsheets and more by electronically attaching a copy of these documents to that project. Many contractors have already realized it is more efficient to move electronic bytes than truckloads of bricks.
