What drives construction industry firms when they are seeking new software? To answer the question, Software Advice devised a study for which they used 770 randomly selected interactions with business owners and project managers.

Project managers, on the other hand, most frequently cited their desire for either an all-in-one suite or improved integration between best-of-breed applications.

Among respondents with a deployment preference, 70 percent of owners preferred on-premise, while 72 percent of project managers preferred Web-based.
