CAM Construction News Survey - Please Participate! 
CAM is conducting a technology survey for its Construction News process. The information obtained from this survey will enable CAM to assess the way contractors and suppliers use electronic services, and give insight on how CAM should proceed as the industry becomes more digital.
The questions are divided into four types, and we encourage you to be as honest as possible with your comments. First, there are demographics (who are you?); Second, Competition (what other products or services do you use?); We also ask about Product Features (what do users need, or what would they like to see?), and finally the Future.
Since CAM started its Online Planroom, the technology and ways in which business is done have evolved immensely. To keep pace, CAM is currently reviewing and discussing how to upgrade our services. Many of the questions contained in the survey will assist us with moving toward the direction of our membership and the construction industry as a whole.
If you aren't the best person to respond (that is, you aren't the appropriate person to respond, your firm doesn't currently use CAM's Online Planroom, or your firm is not a CAM member) please complete the survey to the best of your ability but also please forward the link to all those in your office who do.
To take this survey now, please click here. Thank you for your participation! |
