McGraw-Hill releases SMART MARKET REPORT "Interoperability in the Construction Industry"

This SMART MARKET REPORT is the result of a project McGraw-Hill conducted in partnership with 9 industry associations.

The report provides insight into the interoperability of software applications and platforms serving the building community.

Interoperability is an issue that is of key importance to the $1 trillion U.S. construction market, as interoperability costs add 3.1% to a typical project budget.

The manual re-entry of data among incompatible software is the key contributor to these high costs.

McGraw -Hill research also found that the largest obstacle to enhanced interoperability is software incompatibility, followed by the costs of training and time spent on translation between incompatible software programs.
