Experiences with implementing multi-user database platforms to increase quality and efficiency of management and communications on large and medium size infrastructure projects

摘要

Based on extensive personal experience the authors have found that most medium and large scale infrastructure projects fail to take advantage of the efficiencies available from modern data management technology. We describe here an approach that has proven highly successful at bringing together people, data and business rules in a common information environment in the chaotic, fast-paced world of railway infrastructure projects. We believe it is extendable to many other project applications.
