Computer Guidance’s eCMS Construction ERP is named as a 2019 Hot Product by Construction Executive.

“eCMS Cloud Construction ERP delivers critical data for timely decision-making, allowing our clients to stay solely focused on their goals,” said Mike Bihlmeier, President, Computer Guidance Corporation. “It’s the dawn of a new era for our customers, where information availability and accessibility enable contractors to build on…better and smarter.” In an era when many functions of our homes are controlled by mobile apps and family cars drive themselves, software is pushing into every corner of our lives. The construction industry is no exception. For all contractors, the future is being built by big data…today. Collection, security and access to information is paramount from the job site to the board room, and Computer Guidance Corporation is unifying these processes into a seamless experience. Traditional construction activities are disconnected and distant—from field to office and project to finance—so an integrated data exchange is critical. That’s why contractors are turning to Computer Guidance Corporation to connect business processes, and transform day-to-day information into true business intelligence to fine tune their approach to clients, budgets and projects. eCMS Cloud Web-Based Construction ERP delivers access to real-time data across all applications and processes. Each interactive experience begins with a customizable Launchpad that provides business-critical information for unique needs and goals. Data is displayed intuitively through a variety of user-defined dashboards and priority icons. End-user views can be modified easily, and information can be mined for in-depth analysis. All eCMS data (in all formats) is linked with content management capabilities to track changes, approvals and uploads on the fly across. Navigation across data views and applications is seamless and supported by easy-to-use web technology that allows context-sensitive data integration and customizable workflows. eCMS Cloud Construction ERP is the culmination of decades of development and client input, and is the most feature-rich system available. From comprehensive project management, accounting and human resources capabilities to far-reaching equipment, employee and financial management tools, eCMS serves +45,000 users at commercial construction companies, regardless of the complexity of their projects or unique business practices.

  Construction professionals recognize the skilled labor shortage is causing a ripple effect that is impacting every single business across the country. The good news; however, is that technology can help in a big way, especially if implemented at the right time within the right company. Contructech Magazine Forrester Research, Cambridge, Mass., suggests 2018 will be the year when a majority of enterprises will start dealing with the hard facts, which include embracing technology solutions such as AI (artificial intelligence), big data, and cloud computing, among others. Further, companies will harvest insights using both data analytics and qualitative methods and will then implement insights in software to drive revenue and expand competitive barriers. This will allow business to sustain 27%-40% annual growth. Today, the good news is there is a significant opportunity for construction companies, if they are able to tap into that data effectively. The challenge is identifying how to best leverage that intelligence. This is where the Constructech Top Products comes into play.
