UK trade magazine QS News has published a feature article written by me: Why ‘I’ always comes before ‘T’.
In the article, I argue that providers and users of mobile IT solutions in the construction industry need to focus on ‘whole life information‘ instead of getting hung-up about technology hardware and connectivity issues. The key should be enabling seamless re-use of information rather than employing a series of point solutions to manage successive parts of the process, and I use BIW’s new defects resolution product as an example of how mobile applications and ‘back-end’ collaboration solutions can be integrated to improve the efficiency of on-site quality control processes.
