SAP Business Transformation Study | Engineering, Construction, and Operations | Zachry Construction Corporation

For large-scale transportation, civil engineering, and building projects, governments

and private businesses rely on Zachry Construction to get the job done right. But, like
its industry peers, the company must work with tight margins, which can lead to IT
decisions that only meet short-term needs. To avoid this, Zachry Construction knew it
needed one integrated IT platform as well as mobile access in the field.
With SAP solutions and SAP Mobile Platform, Zachry Construction has centralized IT,
process workflows, and data entry in a single system. Workers can enter accurate,
real-time data from the field via mobile device, and costs can be tracked on a weekly
and daily basis. The result has been significant cost savings proving that with an
integrated business-process foundation, Zachry Construction is stronger than ever.
