摘要

Business owners in the architecture, engineering and construction space are particularly diligent in keeping tight control of company operations as efficiency correlates directly to the bottom line. With the pace of business and development of deliver-ables, a well-developed tech stack with the right elements can have a significant impact on a business's success. Many business owners, principals and executives struggle to determine where to start when approaching this side of the business.
