The Anderson Consulting Group specialists in Technology are
highly experienced in the specific requirements of the residential and
commercial construction industries. Our staff of IT professionals
and industry partners will guide you through the maze of currently available hardware and
software, then plan, develop, deploy, implement and help manage the appropriate technology
solutions for your Company. It is the basic philosophy of the
Anderson Consulting Group to provide technology solutions that have been proven
to work in the residential and commercial construction industries, and not
just on the basis that they are the latest, greatest idea or just because
they are technically possible. We believe that technology solutions
should actually facilitate and support our client's management processes,
not drive them.
   
- Technology Assessment
-
Does your company actually know the current
status of its technology infrastructure? Is there a system that verifies and documents the
skill sets of individual employees? What happens to your company operations if there is a catastrophic event at the main
office? Does your company have an Information Technology Policy
document? Is your company's data really secure?
-
- Software
Evaluation
-
Your company has made the decision to update your
software solutions, but
how will it be determined which product best suits your company's needs? How will your
company sort through the various sales pitches and demonstrations to
recognize the difference between strong operating processes and the flashy
features that may never be used? Which software developer will
provide the best product support, or will even be around next
year? Are there lower cost solutions
that will effectively do the job?
-
- Technology Planning
-
Is your company prepared to adjust to future technologies
on the basis of a well designed strategic plan? Has there
already been significant discussion about improving your company's
technology infrastructure, but no one really knows how to
proceed? Are there frequently Ad hoc or reactive steps taken to meet
urgent technology needs instead of following a predetermined plan?
-
- Network Engineering
-
Does it seem that your company's network is not
as reliable as it should be? Are the external IT support staff
beginning to be perceived as company employees because they are always
there? When undertaking a major network project, does your
company's IT support staff have the experience with the construction
industry to integrate current technology with the specific
requirements of construction management?
-
- Implementation
-
Has your company purchased an
expensive software solution that is not living up to expectations
because the implementation was not effectively managed? Are there
components of your company's software that are not in use, simply
because your staff does not possess the skill sets or the time to finish
the job? Does your company have expensive equipment that is
technically operational, but is not used to full potential because the
operational management processes required to use it have not been fully
implemented?
-
- Technology Training
-
Are your company's employees
making the most efficient use of the technology tools already at their
disposal? Can your company's staff develop creative solutions to
routine problems with standard applications? Does your company's
IT staff spend a high percentage of time working with individual
employees to resolve basic or repetitive issues with the local
workstation and fundamental software applications? Are your
company's employees receiving the training that they need to current
with today's technology systems?
