THE CONNECTED SITE An Industry Moves into the Future
LaVonne FrazierTrimble Director of the Connected Site, Engineering and Construction Group
Other industries have transformed productivity and quality through information technology−
Airlines−
Financial services−
Logistics
Construction has principally relied on scale factors (bigger and faster) to create productivity improvements −
Not aggressive in reengineering processes
CONSTRUCTION IS AN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY LAGGARD*
