Jobsite connectivity requires seamless collaboration between architects, engineers, subcontractors, and owners. Without a reliable IT infrastructure, communication breaks down.
Connectivity means your business has established centralized cloud platforms, secure messaging, and remote access solutions so teams can collaborate in real time, even across multiple job sites.
The broader shift in AEC firms to cloud-based collaboration platforms confirms the need for robust data-sharing, version control, and secure remote access to coordinate architects, engineers, subcontractors, and clients effectively.
Meanwhile, growing cyber threats, especially attacks exploiting remote access and third‑party vendor weaknesses, are reinforcing the need for secure, managed connectivity rather than ad-hoc or DIY IT setups.
The report examines the data usage patterns of over 4,000 companies across the AEC industry to gain valuable insights into how companies rely on cloud collaboration now and anticipate how those needs will evolve. full story
Why it matters: These developments show that modern AEC workflows increasingly rely on IT to connect dispersed teams, job sites, and stakeholders, but also that unmanaged or unsecured connectivity creates serious risk.
