Recently, utilization of PMIS(Project Management Information System) is in high demand as it is desired to advance the construction market through cost reduction and quality improvement within the given schedule. However, PMIS developed by individual projects are mostly evolving around construction progress status due to the temporary nature of development period and use of the system by project executers is no more than perfunctory that results in limiting the effective communication between the project owner, project manager and constructor. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to review the PMIS developed so far, and present the direction for an effective PMIS.

The construction sector is under growing pressure to increase productivity and improve quality, most notably in reports. A major problem for constriction companies is the lack of project assessing model for project management. One method of solving the problem is through the systematic management of construction processes. A development of model for assessing PMIS practice is attempting to develop a stepwise process assessment framework for the construction industry using Capability Maturity Model. This paper have provided further insights into the understanding of the framework, as well as its value for construction sector.

Recently, by the growth of IT industry, the domestic construction is tried to spread with IT on the whole phases: 1)an, design, order, construction, and maintenance. On this, in the construction industry, is accelerated effort of the introduction of PMIS, it has various types of PMIS applied which is developed alone by large construction company and serviced with web-hosting by ASP corporation. In this study, through the analysis of PMIS which has applied on the subway construction in the D city, try to propose the improvement proposals and put out realistic problems. Therefore that analysis about needs of the order and operation of the phases, Domestic PMIS cases and International PMIS technique position have to consider and, the system is analyzed to needs of the order, design scheme, and utilization. On the basis of this result, the improvement proposals is proposed into the case of the contract, the system, the operation, the management and the contact of the external system.

Using PMIS(Project Management Information System) plays an important role in systematically planning and effectively managing the complex and large-sized construction projects. In spite of the importance of PMIS, on-site engineers, who are the main users of PMIS, have not used PMIS enthusiastically because PMIS has been evaluated and improved by not the viewpoint of the system users but the viewpoint of system managers and head office manager. Therefore, this study developed an assessment model to evaluate PMIS with the viewpoint of the on-site engineers, so previously developed PMIS can be evaluated by the on-site engineers with importance and satisfaction elements. It is anticipated that the effective use of the developed assessment model might increase the utilization of existing PMIS as well as develop the construction industry.

Recently construction projects become more bigger. So construction companies have being performed cost and schedule management task by using PMIS. In engineering and construction phase, progress management which occur the most frequent information I/O(input and output) should be managed effectively by PMIS. Although most information by PMIS manage efficiently, cost-schedule information for progress management is difficult to be managed due to recurrent information input. thus when changed by price fluctuation and change order, progress management could not connnect cost information with schedule information. So it caused inaccuracy of progress measurement and data increase in PMIS. To solve this problem, This study suggests improved module for progress management through integration of cost-schedule using quantity take-offs as progress measurement method.

It is a difficult thing to administer a various task in the construction site because, the person placing an order are eagerly demanding for the reduction of project duration as the trend of construction are becoming larger and international. The advanced country have made an effort to development PMIS based on the Web, which to exchanges a various construction information such as Time Management/Construction Management/Resource Management/Document Management to solve these problems since 2000. However, the expectation to develop a smart PMIS that can deal with a more quick change of a various process are becoming lager as the lively supply of IT equipment such as smart phone and table PC. The research are aim to develop the next generation smart PMIS, which is link with the table PC and smart phone for a site manager to use the system based on the web in the movement. Also, it has an object in view to introduce the development process and the major function of the next generation PMIS.

Establishing a success model of a specific information system is critical to understanding the mechanism of IS success, the various dimensions of IS performance, and the factors and their causal relations in IS success. As one of the key IT applications, the project management information system (PMIS), particularly the web-based PMIS (Web-PMIS), has played a significant role in construction management processes in Korea. However, there have been few research attempts made to construct a Web-PMIS success model. This study primarily aims to propose a Web-PMIS success model based on DeLone and McLean's IS success model, and to discuss whether or not the D&M IS success model can be applied to the construction Web-PMIS. A questionnaire was sent out to Web-PMIS users (construction managers and constructors), and 253 completed questionnaires were received. Through multi-regression analysis, it was confirmed that it is statistically acceptable to apply the D&M IS success model to the Web-PMIS. However, the explanatory power of the model is not sufficient, and some of the model factors are not statistically significant enough. Relying on the statistical analysis results, this study also discusses the development direction for the Web-PMIS success model.

To establish an infrastructure for technology and information in the domestic construction industry, several construction regulations pertaining to construction information have been institutionalized. However, there are major problems with the domestic information classification system, earned value management (EVM) and project management information system (PMIS). In particular, the functions of the current PMIS have consisted of a builder-oriented system, and as EVM is not applied to PMIS, the functions of reporting, analysis and forecast for owners are lacking. Moreover, owners cannot confirm information on construction schedule and cost in real time due to the differences between the EVM and PMIS operation systems. The purpose of this study is to provide a framework that is capable of operating PMIS efficiently under an e-business environment, by providing a proposal on how to establish a work breakdown structure (WBS) and an EVM - PMIS integration model, so that PMIS may provide the function of EVM, and stakeholders may have all information in common. At the core of EVM - PMIS integration is the idea that EVM and PMIS have the same operation system, in order to be an activity-based system. The principle of the integration is data integration, in which the information field of an activity is connected with the field of a relational database table consisting of sub-modules for the schedule and cost management function of PMIS using a relational database management system. Therefore, the planned value (PV), cost value (CV), actual cost (AC), schedule variance (SV), schedule performance index (SPI), cost variance (CV) and cost performance index (CPI) of an activity are connected with the field of the relational database table for the schedule and cost sub-modules of PMIS.
