Abstract
When a construction company commits to adopt a Web-based project management system, there are two possible strategies that the company can choose in developing the system: in-house development or outsourcing this activity to a professional consultant. Regarding the first option, construction firms that decide on in-house development should keep in mind the substantial financial, technical and human resources necessary to develop and to maintain the system. The second option, useful for companies with limited resources to develop their own Web-based project management systems, outsourcing strategies provide a variety of options.
