Talk about some serious ROI opportunity?and a chance to be an IT hero! A study commissioned by the National Institute of Standards and Technology found that the construction and facilities management industries lost about $15.8 billion due to inefficiencies in data management and continued reliance on paper-based systems.

Are you ready to jump into the breach?
