IT Support for Construction Companies: How DenaliTEK Empowers the Industry
The Role of IT in Construction’s Digital Transformation
The construction industry is evolving as digital tools reshape how projects are managed, teams collaborate, and security is maintained. However, without the right IT infrastructure, companies risk inefficiencies, delays, and data vulnerabilities.
DenaliTEK provides specialized IT support for construction companies, ensuring that they can leverage modern technology while maintaining security, efficiency, and seamless operations.
From cloud-based project management solutions to cybersecurity and compliance strategies, we help construction firms transition to smarter, more reliable IT environments.
Leveraging IT for Data Management, Remote Support, and Analytics
Many construction firms still rely on outdated, on-premise systems, making it difficult to store, retrieve, and analyze essential project data. This lack of real-time data access can lead to delays, budget overruns, and compliance risks.
DenaliTEK helps companies migrate to cloud-based storage solutions, enabling real-time access to data, improved forecasting through AI analytics, and stronger security measures to protect sensitive files. While some businesses may still require on-premise servers for specific applications, we guide firms toward a hybrid IT approach, balancing security with modern accessibility.
With the advances in recent years on bringing fiber internet to the bush and other construction zones previously unable to get high-speed internet, as well as Starlink's growing capabilities since 2023, these cloud solutions are now possible for Alaskan construction companies in ways they haven't ever been before. Embracing these technological advancements is key, and with this real-time data transparency, companies can optimize efficiency, minimize risks, and gain a competitive edge through not only connecting to remote teams, but being able to properly support them for the first time.
DenaliTEK enhances IT support for field teams by:
- Providing stable network infrastructure to enable seamless remote access.
- Integrating mobile-friendly project management applications that allow real-time communication and data sharing.
- Securing remote access to prevent unauthorized intrusions and cyber threats.
As connectivity options improve, construction firms must embrace mobile-friendly IT solutions to keep their workforce connected and efficient.
Cybersecurity Strategies for the Digital Construction Industry
As construction firms digitize their operations, they become prime targets for cyber threats. Many companies still rely on outdated cybersecurity measures that leave them vulnerable to ransomware, phishing attacks, and data breaches.
DenaliTEK recommends a layered security approach, including multi-factor authentication, ransomware-protected backups, and employee cybersecurity training. A strong backup strategy is critical, following the 3-2-1 method: three copies of data, stored on two different systems, with one copy kept offsite.
Without these protections, a single cyberattack could disrupt operations and compromise sensitive project data. DenaliTEK ensures construction firms have comprehensive cybersecurity solutions that adapt to evolving threats.
Regulatory Compliance & IT Challenges
How Can IT Help Construction Companies Meet Compliance Standards?
Many construction companies are unaware of the cybersecurity and compliance regulations they must follow. DenaliTEK provides Virtual CIO (vCIO) services to help businesses navigate compliance requirements efficiently.
We assist construction firms with:
Developing incident response plans to meet cybersecurity insurance requirements.
Ensuring compliance with CMMC standards for government contracts.
Securing project data to protect against data breaches and legal risks.
To simplify compliance, we provide pre-drafted incident response and disaster recovery templates, allowing companies to meet regulations without unnecessary complexity.

The Role of BIM and Digital Twins in Construction IT
What IT Support Is Needed for BIM and Digital Twins?
Building Information Modeling (BIM) and digital twins are transforming the way construction companies plan and execute projects. However, these tools require robust IT infrastructure, cloud storage, and high-speed internet access to function effectively.
DenaliTEK helps firms integrate BIM and digital twin technologies by:
Ensuring high-speed, reliable internet connectivity for remote sites.
Implementing failover solutions to prevent service disruptions.
Providing secure cloud storage to protect BIM data from cyber threats.
With Alaska's expanding Starlink and fiber-optic networks, construction firms now have the opportunity to fully leverage digital modeling technologies with IT support that ensures reliability and security.
Future IT Trends Impacting the Construction Industry
How Will AI and Cybersecurity Shape the Future of Construction IT?
Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping construction by enhancing project forecasting, bidding accuracy, and risk management. However, cybercriminals are also using AI to create more advanced attacks, increasing the need for proactive security measures.
Alaska consistently ranks among the worst states for cybercrime per capita, making cybersecurity investments a priority for construction companies. DenaliTEK ensures firms stay ahead by integrating AI-driven security solutions and modern IT infrastructure to protect against emerging threats.
