Abstract

Cloud-based Collaboration employing is getting more attention nowadays as new technology that can be used to facilitate the processes of interactions between contractors to meet their tasks, deadlines and placing the issues of security and reliability of such technologies into perspective. This research found that architecture engineering construction industries are still in the beginning levels of the development when it comes to IT infrastructure system uptake comparing to other industries. The main causes of the lack of IT infrastructures are limited support financially and how expensive IT services solutions are. Thus, cloud computing technology gives much more security to the storage of data with better costs to establish IT infrastructure as mentioned before.
