Challenge
When you grow into one of the largest and most
respected electrical contractors in New England,
you might find there's no shortage of opportunity.
But for Interstate Electrical Services, opportunity
also comes with high demands for time, services
and the consistent body of quality work the company
built its reputation on. The leading-edge company
needed a modern construction management
platform to keep up with those demands.
Steven Drouin, Interstate's director of IT services,
noted that the AS–400 system and mix of
disconnected software programs it was using nearly
12 years ago wasn't meeting needs. "Just a simple
thing like a jobsite address was being entered into
six different applications back in the day," he said.
"We were operating under tight time constraints
and budgets—just like every other contractor out
there. We needed to streamline our processes and
coordinate better, both internally and externally."
That led to a software search for a solution that
was more focused on construction accounting.
Now, instead of the
rear- view, we're looking
ahead and projecting
ahead of the curve
within our system.
— Steven Drouin, Director of IT
Services, Interstate Electrical
Services Corp.
