INCREASING PRODUCTIVITY WITH

INFORMATION MANAGEMENT

There are several industry players out there (GE is one, we

are one, Jay Z is definitely one) who believe that they can

be better at business software than the software

companies can be at ‘business’.

Geoff Smith, CEO EllisDon & Gate Three

Gate Three tackles the fundamental obstacle to fact-based decision-making.

Accessibility and availability of quality information, which in the construction

industry is essential to project completion while data integrity critically serves

as legal evidence and protecting companies against claim.

Inefficiencies are evident among countless industries as workflow is contingent

upon interoperability of multiple data sources comprising of core, internally

developed programs; externally developed mobile applications and shrink-

wrapped software. The construction industry compounds its problems with its

reluctant adoption of technology.

However, when used effectively technology can deliver business with

company-wide decision-making capabilities, integrating structured to

unstructured sources of information so it can be harnessed for commercial gain.

WELCOME TO GATE THREE

OUR PEDIGREE

Over 60 years of proven success in the

construction industry

Completing CAD 3.4 Billion in

construction value annually

An additional CAD 6.6 Billion in backlog

Financially stable ownership structure

Proudly 50% employee-owned with over

1,800 employees

REAL TIME ERP DATA ANYTIME, ANYWHERE FROM ANY DEVICE

Mobile user access to ERP and other back

office systems has become a core

requirement to operational efficiency and

deepening customer engagement.

Mobile apps have enabled organizational

transformation by accelerating decision

time.

Mobile accessibility can provide a

competitive differentiation.

DRIVING DIGITAL DATA ENTERPRISE MOBILITY

Data needs to be ubiquitous for both

collaboration and fostering decision making.

Example:

Cloud based applications (SaaS)

Building Information Systems -(3D)

Sensor technology (Telematics)

Social applications

QUALITY DATA = QUALITY DECISION

Delivering completed

buildings shall no longer

present the same challenges

of a decade ago when

accessing data was

cumbersome to access from

a collection of bulky binders.

Today clients expect all information be transferable as well as encompass the Building Information Model (BIM) including ‘as built’ specifications.

EFFICIENT CONSTRUCTION OPERATION

INTEROPERABILITY

In the US an estimated losses of $15.6 Billion per year are due to lack of interoperability (NIST 2004). "Interoperability is more than the automation of current work processes. That is, more than just doing the same things that are done at present only faster. Interoperable technologies and applications change work processes and the relationships among project owners, clients, contractors and subcontractors.” (NRC 2009) The construction industry has leveraged technological advancements to help manage the workload. However 60% of the industry’s efforts remain lost to inefficiencies.

CONSTRUCTION PRODUCTIVITY

Widespread use of interoperable technology is

still not easy. We need more effective interfacing

of stakeholders, processes and information.

Diverse stakeholders: Owners, Designers, Builders, Suppliers, Manufacturers, Trades Segregated processes: planning, financing, design, engineering, procurement, construction, operations, maintenance Applications and technologies are rarely integrated across all phases of a project

Allow “Best of Breed” software and collaboration tools

where needed, but manage the data end-to-end.
