It all comes down to these few truths … Why is this important? What if you move your business into a new territory where regulations require a new permit process or some other additional business process? New regulatory rules or governance has come down on how things need to be done and approved. A second entity that wants to leverage the same PMIS might have a different cost structure but still needs to be managed under a single portfolio of projects. You want to innovate and streamline a process. No software has any value if it is not used. Conversely, the more it is used, the more value it offers. Deploying PMIS software across an enterprise need not be an all or nothing proposition. Incremental value can be gained in a phased deployment. Rapid change in the construction industry demands that a long-term software investment also accommodates rapid change. Adoption of software hinges on comfort and familiarity. End-users will embrace tools that work as expected and improve the outcome of the work. Kahua offers the most flexible solution available. Kahua | www.kahua.com 03 Agile - Able to Move Quickly and Easily If flexible means bending (changing) without breaking, then to be agile means to do so quickly and easily. Traditional software solutions from giants like IBM and Oracle have always been considered flexible. You can make them do just about anything you want. These options are very expensive, but if you are willing to pay the price, you can have a system that closely matches your current work environment and processes. However, if you want to make changes to your deployment of these giant solutions, think in terms of years, not days or weeks. These tools may be flexible, but they are not at all agile. It is important when choosing a PMIS today that you understand the "platform" it was developed on. This will immediately tell you how agile it is. This is helpful at all levels. End-users see an incremental improvement in their everyday work, which encourages greater adoption by others. Greater adoption amplifies the value provided to the organization. Demonstrated victories allow management to continue pushing towards the ultimate goal. Continuous improvement is a key driver for scaling your capital portfolio. As an owner, you want to leverage the latest software technologies that enable and support future growth.
