98% of mega-projects experience overruns or delays, with an average cost increase totalling 80% of the original project value. Here's how Atlas can reduce costly mistakes, help you win more business and improve health & safety in the Construction and Engineering space.
The challenge of digital transformation in the construction and engineering sector is understandable - typical construction projects involve numerous independent subcontractors and suppliers with little incentive to embrace new methods; projects vary greatly so it's often difficult to make solutions repeatable; and the remote nature of some construction projects makes investment in technology even more challenging.
However, the construction industry is one of the major powerhouses of the UK economy, accounting for 6% of its national economy and employing 2.4 million workers. Construction and engineering is crucial to the economy and construction firms looking to capitalise on the opportunity are looking at digital transformation. We build transformational digital solutions for clients including Laing O'Rourke, Octavius and The Crown Estate that enables them to use new, pioneering technologies to drive their productivity and profitability.
One of the industry’s most pressing challenges is fragmented communication and workforces. Atlas is a must-have: Atlas helps workers find and consume vital information, ideal for a diverse workforce with varying IT competencies that needs fast access to information on the go. Atlas helps you deliver relevant information to employees when they need it.
We provide our construction clients with an all-in-one robust platform for easier access to the relevant project documentation in order to manage project operation. Teams can work together on documents, share knowledge, ensure critical procedures are learnt and adhered to. Atlas ensures best working practices, keeping projects on target, saving time and money.
Improve communication and collaboration to increase project productivity. Collaboration is critical in this sector which works across multiple organisations in the fragmented value chain. Atlas integrates key Office 365 collaboration tools and simplifies collaboration with well-designed user experience, add-ons and education. Atlas provides simplicity.
Create complex bids consistently and easily in a fraction of the time - hours instead of days or weeks. Atlas helps you find and compile collateral for pitches using powerful search features, ensures data is reliable and up-to-date and excels at surfacing all relevant information in a user-friendly format.
Osborne needed a platform that is simple for their employees to use, and that can help them as an organisation to embrace new ways of working, including a Knowledge and Innovation Portal on Atlas, all in one place.
Laing O'Rourke is the largest privately-owned construction company in the UK. LOR employs nearly 13,000 staff globally in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, The Middle East, Hong Kong, and South East Asia.
The Crown Estate in the UK required a new data management system to share masses of data. With Windows Azure, ClearPeople helped The Crown Estate deploy the scalable cloud-based solution with zero infrastructure required.
We are proud to share the learnings and successes from our Construction and Engineering clients including Laing O’Rourke, Osborne, Mace and Sisk, after implementing Atlas.
Atlas is an all-in-one digital workplace for knowledge, communication and collaboration that is built on and for Microsoft 365. We have built Atlas to solve problems that these industries experience all too often: too many digital tools, too many silos, too much noise and too much stuff that is hard to find.
Through our engagement with these industry leaders, we have developed a deep sensitivity to the unique challenges these industries face and have enhanced Atlas as an exact match to the requirements at hand.
