One team. Tailored technology. Every piece designed to work with the next.

Construction companies don’t need a menu of disconnected vendors. They need a partner who sees the whole picture — from field phones on the jobsite to the ERP running payroll on Friday.

Productized AI Consulting Menu & Workflow Optimization StudioFast Company 2026 Best Workplaces for Innovators · AI, Automation & ML

Our AI Consulting Menu — practical options, not a rigid checklist.

When contractors say “help us with AI,” they shouldn’t get vague buzzwords or an all-or-nothing bundle. Choose the individual training, governance, workflow diagnostic, or custom build options below that fit your team right now.

Menu Group 01 · Foundations & Training · Executives · Office Staff · PMs · Estimators · IT Leads

Choose the specific AI training that fits your team — backed by commercial privacy boundaries.

Menu Group I: Every training below is a standalone option — not a bundle you have to buy all at once. Most contractors choose the primary platform their office uses (rather than doing Microsoft 365 Copilot, Claude, and ChatGPT together), or combine multiple options if different roles need them.

Available Training Options — Choose One or Combine What Fits
Option A
Microsoft 365 Copilot Live TrainingInteractive group or 1-on-1 remote sessions covering Word drafting, when and how to use Copilot in Excel, and Teams meeting recaps & Q&A.
Option B
Claude Team Onboarding & TrainingCommercial account setup, SSO, and admin privacy controls to keep company contracts off personal accounts — followed by live team training.
Option C
ChatGPT Team Onboarding & TrainingGoverned commercial workspace configuration, data-privacy guardrails, and live interactive training tailored to construction office workflows.
Option D
Guided App Prototyping (4× 1-Hour Sessions)Safe prototyping in Claude Code or Codex, paired with our Biz Apps & Engineering teams when a proven prototype is ready for production software.

Not sure which platform fits? We also run an honest side-by-side comparison of M365 Copilot vs. Claude Team vs. ChatGPT Team against your existing licensing — always inside governed company SSO accounts.

Straight AnswersCommon Questions From Contractors

Questions contractors ask first.

Plain-English answers on how Managed IT, Azure Cloud, Sage 100 Contractor, Acumatica, FIT, and Syscon One fit together.

Do we have to move our whole IT stack to Syscon, or can we start with one practice?

You can start with a single practice or bring your entire stack under one roof. Many contractors begin with Sage 100 Contractor consulting, Azure Managed Cloud hosting, or the FIT System for field time, while others pair Managed IT, Microsoft 365, and our 24/7 Human SOC with their construction ERP so one team owns how everything connects.

How do contractors run Sage 100 Contractor remotely without slow VPNs?

Syscon hosts Sage 100 Contractor inside a private Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop environment using FSLogix profile containers and multi-session hosts. Project managers, estimators, and accounting staff sign in securely from the office, jobsite trailer, or home without fragile site-to-site VPN tunnels or managing an on-premises server.

Does Syscon support both Sage 100 Contractor and Acumatica Construction Edition?

Yes. Syscon has supported Master Builder and Sage 100 Contractor for more than three decades as a Gold Development Partner of the Year, and we implement, migrate, and support Acumatica Construction Edition for contractors ready for a browser-native cloud ERP. Because we know both platforms deeply, we give straight-talk advice on which fits your business.

How does the Syscon FIT System handle union, prevailing-wage, and multi-state field payroll?

Field crews and supervisors enter hours, cost codes, equipment, and job receipts from iOS, Android, or web browsers, with supervisor review and approval before anything hits accounting. Approved entries sync directly into Sage 100 Contractor payroll, respecting union locals, prevailing-wage rates, certified payroll rules, and multi-state tax jurisdictions.

Who answers the phone when our office or field crew needs help?

A live Syscon team member answers the phone Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM Central at 630-850-9039 — no phone trees and no offshore call centers. Outside business hours, our 24/7 Human SOC (powered by Blackpoint Cyber MDR) monitors and isolates active cyber threats around the clock.
