IT survey to reveal whether construction is cutting edge

Construction has long been regarded as an IT dinosaur - but is that a fair reflection of the industry?

Contract Journal, in association with software house Causeway Technologies, is carrying out a survey to find out exactly how switched on contractors are to the benefits of IT. Complete CJ's IT survey and you could win an HP pocket PC.

We'd like as many of you to participate as possible, and you can do so by going to www.contractjournal.com and completing a questionnaire.

The survey involves 10 mostly multi-choice questions and should take no longer than three or four minutes to complete.

We want to know what you think of your own company's approach to IT, how much you use new technology such as mobile communication tools and project intranets, what you use the internet for, and how satisfied you are with IT training.

And we also want you to inform us of the new IT or internet services that would most help your business.

All those who enter will have their names entered into a draw and the winner will receive a Hewlett Packard iPAQ h6340 Pocket PC.

Typically retailing at around 400, the h6340 is a handheld device with just about everything but the kitchen sink.

It offers four-way wireless capabilities - GSM/GPRS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and infrared - and sports an add-on keyboard, making it the ultimate wireless PDA and Pocket PC Phone.

So don't delay, go straight to www.contractjournal.com and complete the survey.
