AEC Software Isn’t Just for Accounting: How Everyone Benefits from the Right Technology

Architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) firms get it from all sides. Seller/doers need to find and win business. Accounting needs to keep cash flowing.

However, while most AEC technology solutions are well-equipped to support those needs, there are some key areas that historically have been left out—namely, project management, HR, and IT. What happened? Perhaps it’s a “squeaky wheel” scenario, where the areas of the firm with the most visibility get the most attention.

Regardless, all these functions play a vital role in your firm. And since the key to the success of any organization is to be connected, it stands to reason that everyone should be using the same systems to do their jobs. Without technology connectivity, there is no organizational connected-ness.

Lack of connectivity and its consequences

That lack of connectivity can have some serious consequences. You could be missing out on new business opportunities. Losing money on projects. Spending your technology budget on the wrong things. Impeding cash flow with inefficient accounting processes. Losing business—and employees—because you’re not staffing your projects correctly.

Those are big problems that can all be addressed with aec360 because aec360 addresses every facet of your AEC firm. To demonstrate that claim, we’re hosting a five-part webinar series. In each 30-minute session, I’ll focus on one role or department and show how aec360 and the Microsoft cloud can make a significant difference in how you do your job and the results you get from your efforts.
