Cybersecurity in Construction Toolkit |
As we all know from recent news, the impact of a cybersecurity breach on your business, including cost and reputation loss, could be massive.
JB Knowledge’s 2020 construction technology report revealed that 13% of contractors reported a data breach. At the industry level, this is due to lean IT security spend, lack of protocols, unprotected on-premise data hosting, and a shift to remote work.
Take charge and prevent cybercrime and data breaches from occurring at your organization with this collection of cybersecurity resources. |

| Start Planning for Year-End Updates Now |
It’s not too early to plan for year-end now. Spectrum requires that you upgrade to the latest version to be prepared for year-end reporting.
You will need to be on version 2021 R3 (released later this year) for year-end. The hardware and software requirements are the same as the requirements for last year, so if you are already on version 2020 R3 or later, you should be okay to update to the 2021 R3 service pack.
If you need Viewpoint help with your update or migration to a current version we are here for you. Start scheduling now because available slots fill up quickly. To sign up for a time slot for Viewpoint assistance on upgrades (if your system meets our current requirements) or migrate your ERP to a new server, take two minutes to watch this explainer video. |
