One of the other big selling points was Trimble Viewpoint's
cloud services and capabilities. Dembs said the company had
struggled with VPNs to try and expand access of its software
to users outside the office, while IT costs and things like
server maintenance began to drag on the company's time
and resources. "When you host (the company's project data)
yourself, you've got to make sure you're on the latest servers,
then there's all the routine maintenance… I like the idea of
somebody else having to worry about all of that."
With multiple locations and divisions to manage, there was a
strong need for a centralized enterprise management solution
and detailed, specialized reports to better analyze the data
W. Soule compiled from its projects. While true business
intelligence tools in construction were still in their infancy,
Dembs knew he wanted the data analytic power their features
could harness.
