Tips from the JobSite


Successful Project
Managers share their
secrets with IronSpire

Tip #4 - Seek first to understand, and then to be understood (convince yourself, then the team)
If you have ever tried to leverage a new technology across a company, you know that is difficult at best.  It won't happen unless you are convinced of and can demonstrate its benefits to the rest of the team. Generally, demos and sales pitches won't do it - you must try the product, in real situations, before you can truly back it.

Opportunity: Champion a new technology.

Tactic:  Pilot Projects - Some web-based project management vendors recognize the need to "try out" new software and on a project basis for minimal cost.

Get a core team together to try the software on a pilot project.  The sucessful team can then advocate the benefits to management and other project managers.

 

IronSpire JobSite

IronSpire Supports .NET Framework
IronSpire recently upgraded its platform to support the Microsoft .NET framework.  The integration of .NET shifts collaboration into a new paradigm, one that enables the sharing of data across applications and the ability to fully integrate systems.

What this means to you

  • Project and cost data collected by the team can be easily shared with in-house applications. The job site will become an extension of the back office, with data entered in IronSpire instantly available to scheduling, accounting or estimating software. 
  • It enables construction teams comprised of multiple businesses on disparate systems to collaborate and exchange information much more easily, leading to increased efficiency and more effective decision making.
