Strategic Alternatives for the Construction Industry
By Christian Burger and Steven J. Mulka

Introduction

"My objective is well summarized as stated in the 2010 announcement: an opportunity to discuss and share best practices on some of the IT challenges facing the construction industry.

"I attended the IT Forum last year and found many of us were facing the same problems and issues, and this forum is a good event to understand what others are doing to address those issues. The forum is a good chance to network with peers as well."

Craig Berry
Director of Information Services
