A year from now could the term ‘interoperability’ be more than just hearsay for construction technology? Of course, such a notion is hard to predict, but new efforts from a few leading groups associated with the topic are giving hope for the long term.
The topic is front and center once again in construction technology thanks to the call for responses to the second annual CTI (Construction Technology Integration) Survey being conducted by JB Knowledge Technologies, www.jbknowledge.com, Bryan, Texas. The first iteration of the survey was announced during the 2012 Associated General Contractors of America IT Forum in Chicago. According to JB Knowledge, more than 400 industry professionals provided feedback to questions related to cloud-based construction software usage, mobile expectations, and application integrations.
