AEC Industry Data & Application Hosting: Keeping It In-House Versus Outsourcing

• Tags:

Overview Most would react humorously to the idea of a technology company designing, constructing and maintaining their own office building. An IT systems specialist would be tasked with coordinating between various building trades, none of which he or she understands. Why the anchor bolts must be measured for accuracy before the concrete is placed would fall outside of the IT specialist’s expertise. Consequently, poor foundations would be laid and resulting structures unsafe and unreliable.

This analogy demonstrates why technology companies outsource AEC activities, and conversely why AEC companies should outsource management and maintenance of their more sophisticated technology.
