Construction management tools have undergone a jaw-dropping transformation in just 20 years! What once relied on handwritten notes, piles of paperwork, and overflowing filing cabinets has evolved into tools with cutting-edge AI technology. These groundbreaking advancements are not just impressive, they’re game-changers for project managers striving for efficiency and success.
Join us as we dive deep into the remarkable advancements that have shaped construction management tools over the 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s. Learn how ATSER’s Project Management Information Software has stood at the forefront, leading the way with impactful and game-changing solutions that continue to empower project managers and redefine success in construction management.
THE LATE 90’S
The late 1990s marked a turning point for construction management with the rise of digital tools like Microsoft Excel. Suddenly, project managers could track budgets, materials, and logged hours all in one place.
Around the same time, scanners began to emerge, revolutionizing document storage by digitizing printed files. No more endless hours spent digging through filing cabinets as files could now be accessed digitally.
Lastly, the evolution from ARPANET to the World Wide Web revolutionized communication, paving the way for email, which enabled teams to exchange information instantly, removing the wait times of phone calls and the hassle of scheduling in-person meetings.
However, these advancements came with significant challenges. Microsoft Excel stored data locally, making real-time updates and collaboration extremely difficult. Sharing files via email created decentralized, fragmented communication, leaving project teams struggling to stay aligned. Additionally, these early digital solutions lacked strong security, leaving critical information vulnerable to data loss and unauthorized access.
THE EARLY 2000’S
The early 2000s marked a significant shift in construction management with the introduction of ATSER Systems software solutions. ATSER emerged as a trailblazer, developing innovative tools tailored specifically to meet the unique demands of project managers in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industries.
These solutions streamlined the organization of essential documentation, budgeting, and ensured compliance with industry standards. Another pivotal advancement during this time was the introduction of cloud software, which allowed remote access to critical documentation.
While these innovations laid the groundwork for the advanced project management systems we now enjoy, such as ATSER’s Manage-IT 2.0™, the early 2000s came with their own challenges. As these systems were still in the early stages of development adoption took a big learning curve.
Additionally, cloud technology, though promising, faced slow uptake due to widespread concerns over data security and the hesitancy to abandon legacy systems. On top of that most systems at that time were fragmented, lacking seamless integration with one another, leaving it difficult for construction managers to balance multiple platforms.
THE 2010’S
The 2010s marked a transformative leap in construction management with the rise of fully integrated Project Management Information Systems (PMIS) like ATSER’s Manage-IT™. These platforms unified previously fragmented tools, enabling real-time updates that could be instantly shared with team members and stakeholders.
Advanced, customizable dashboards provided project managers with clear insights into Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), allowing them to catch and avoid potential costly issues early. Cloud integration further revolutionized workflows, enabling teams to access and update project data online and offline. Together, these innovations revolutionized collaboration and efficiency, further advancing construction management tools.
THE 2020’S
The 2020s brought rapid advancements in technology, significantly impacting PMIS tools and the construction management industry. Artificial Intelligence (AI) became a cornerstone of innovation, revolutionizing how teams manage complex projects.
ATSER’s Manage-IT 2.0™ emerged as a trailblazer in this era, introducing cutting-edge features like an AI Assistant designed to answer user queries efficiently. Additionally, the platform’s Dynamic Test Creation feature enables users to streamline and monitor testing processes with ease, enhancing productivity and accuracy.
PMIS tools also began integrating Building Information Modeling (BIM) systems, allowing users to create 3D renditions of their projects. This advancement improved visualization, collaboration, and site-specific planning by using geographical data.
Despite initial concerns about data security, PMIS platforms in the 2020s addressed these challenges with robust safety measures. Multi-layered firewall protection, detailed activity logs to track changes, secure cloud storage, and two-factor authentication became standard features, dramatically reducing the risk of unauthorized access and building trust in the technology.
All advancements from the creation of the World Wide Web, to excel, to PMIS like Manage-IT™ till now have further improved construction management tools. Coming together to ultimately make PMIS an essential tool used.
