• Problem:

• Issues on previous projects commissioning / building management

projects:

• Data silos between stakeholders

• Incompatible workflows creating tasks to be replicated by multiple

members or not completed at all

• Too much data!

• Goal:

• Establish data architecture eliminating information silos

• Manageable/scalable workflow for prioritization of corrective

actions
