Abstract
Results of enterprise integration within a construction
Small-Medium Enterprise (SME) involved in both civil
engineering maintenance and project work are presented.
The research utilised existing systems engineering tools to
investigate the processes that were undertaken by the
contractor to fulfill specific client requirements including the
information demands of internal clients. The results of this
work were then used to build simple information technology
(IT) applications internal to the company that could be
adapted to link with external systems. The emphasis of this
work was to deliver simple solution that could provide a
meaningful impact on business performance without
requiring the resources of a large company.
