IT is all about cutting people/time
Jean Thibodeau defines IT as a mean to max efficiency.
I totally agree on that. With IT, the way people deal with data is much more efficient. Data storage, transmission, manipulation can all get done with a click of mouse.
RFI (Resquest for Information) is vital for collaboration
The purpose of RFI is to collect written information about the capabilities of various suppliers.
RFI management helps companies get the best deal in combination with request for proposal (RFP), request for tender (RFT), and request for quotation (RFQ). Again this is a data-analyzing, IT-related process.
Time frame is important for large construction companies like Canam Group
Completion of projects on time done on time is critical to large construction companies. If they breach that, they will get a big penalty. Adding a fourth dimension, time, to the traditional 3D virtual construction facilitates companies to track their project progress and diminish the possibility of getting a penalty.
Technology is not free and you are responsible for taking care of its cost
Technology is getting more and more commercialized, but sometimes people do not notice that. A fancy iPhone is expensive not just because of its high price, but also because of its tremendous consumption of data roaming. Phone bill is sneakily rocketing whenever iPhone users are transmitting HD image with their friends.
As far as I am concerned, profitable industry like telecoms should cut down their margin rate for people to enjoy IT with an affordable price. If consumers are constantly hesitant in face of high cost of advanced technology, then a) the development of this certain technology will not be that meaningful and b) this will absolutely hinder its further development as it can only be shared with a small group of people.
