Description

Digital transformation in the building materials industry involves integrating digital technologies and data-driven processes across every facet of a company’s operations, including supply chain management, design, production, sourcing, and customer interactions. The goals are to increase productivity, sustainability, and safety, improve efficiency, and facilitate better stakeholder engagement, while providing cutting-edge digital goods and services. By using automation, real-time data analytics, and collaborative digital platforms, traditional procedures can be reorganized to maximize efficiency and reduce costs. Ultimately, technology adoption aims to boost operational resilience, strategic competitive advantage, and environmental and market responsiveness.

While numerous opportunities exist for solution providers across the extensive landscape of construction materials manufacturers, only a few embrace digital transformation to generate new revenue streams. Most mainly utilize digital tools to gain some level of efficiency. The analysis of digital transformation in construction materials companies seeks to address the following critical questions:
A. How do construction materials companies implement technologies?
B. What opportunities do they seek, and what are the other opportunities for the rest of the value chain?

The report targets:
A. Construction materials companies looking to stay abreast of competitors’ activities
B. IT providers aiming to understand the unique opportunities within construction materials manufacturers

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
