Atigro, a proven ERP transformation through augmentation firm, has launched Atigro AI-ERP CEM. It is a set of ERP augmentation services paired with a secure AI toolkit that revitalizes construction and engineering management (CEM) companies’ existing ERP assets. It does this by taking a CEM’s existing ERP and adding modularly augmented functionality in combination with strategically layered AI-native frameworks. This transformation through augmentation provides CEM’s with real oversight, control and efficiency in their business operations.
Atigro AI-ERP CEM is tailored to meet the needs of the labor intensive CEM industry, delivering executives new levels of ERP capabilities. These include the ability to collect granular, contextual data and business processes to lay the foundation for strategically layering on AI capabilities. This is expected to give CEMs a revitalized ERP asset that can be leveraged to gain more control over their operations, address more business opportunities and drive profitability through true advancements in productivity.
“Most ‘ERP transformations’ essentially tear down and rebuild the ERP platforms with new functionality, which is both costly and time consuming. Even worse, they still don’t address one of the biggest issues, revamping ERP systems quickly enough to meet the fast changing business environment. This means the very processes that a company is looking to manage within the ERP platform have likely changed since the customization request was made,” said Ken Fischer, CEO of Atigro, Inc. “At Atigro, our proven methodology of ERP transformation consists of augmenting ERP assets with more granular, contextual data collection and functionality capabilities, in combination with strategic and impactful AI integration. Atrigro’s AI-ERP CEM augmentation allows for rapid development and provisioning of new functionality that address dynamically changing business processes. Atigro’s transformation through augmentation quickly revitalizes ERP assets, at lower costs, while significantly increasing our clients’ productivity and ROI.”
IT Challenges For Construction & Engineering Management Companies
Construction and engineering management companies face some daunting IT challenges. Their projects are diverse, so one system typically does not fit all the needs of any given project. Their challenges are compounded because the number of activities CEMs need to carry out intersect with many state, federal and local regulations. Their ERP platforms have been supplemented by physical workarounds, like managers using spreadsheets and other ad hoc means.
Unfortunately, most ERP implementations are too rigid to quickly or effectively adapt to CEMs’ dynamic operations in the necessary timeframe. Usually, pockets of a CEM company’s business operations have been addressed by the ERP integration. Their data storage has been housed in disparate databases, or more commonly, on excel spreadsheets or even paper. Very little contextual data, the business processes employees perform outside of digitized workflow, has been integrated either. This has hindered ROI and hampered the addition of practical and useful ERP advancements.
Atigro AI-ERP CEM Intelligent Agents
ERP systems are supposed to track and mirror a construction and engineering management company’s business operations and requirements. However, for employees across a spectrum of business units, ERPs are often difficult to get answers from because they have very set ways of presenting data. Therefore, getting an answer might require combining data in spreadsheets, looking at records one at a time or having a database administrator research it for them. Additionally, the data reports presented to employees and executives is not provided in a manner that is easy to consume.
Atigro AI-ERP CEM harnesses the power of artificial intelligence to create tailored AI agents that dynamically interact with people and databases throughout ERP workflows. These intelligent AI agents accept requests from employees and access information from databases and other data sources, solve tasks and provide results in an easy to consume manner. This makes it easier for construction management and engineering companies’ employees to focus on work activities instead of data entry – increasing employee efficiency, satisfaction and retention.
Atigro AI-ERP CEM’s toolkit complies with enterprise security and DevSecOps best-practices, can be integrated with Entra-A or Corporate Google Workspace logins and use multiple enterprise-ready databases. It also can be integrated with custom mobile apps. It also contains an AI-friendly event system which makes it easy to research and understand past transactions in the system. All of Atigro AI-ERP CEM’s systems are hosted in a closed environment and do not share information with external services or partners.
Atigro AI-ERP CEMC is available today. It is sold as a platform in conjunction with Atigro’s configuration services. Pricing is based on discovery, which begins at $25,000. Interested parties may contact Atigro for additional information.
