More contractors value technology that allows for interoperability
Interoperability between disparate applications is becoming more important to contractors as their budgets continue to tighten. agcXML, which was funded by Associated General Contractors of America, has the potential to improve interoperability and involves developing a set of XML standards for the exchange of construction business process and document information. "This should enable anyone in the industry to use whatever application they consider to be suitable for their organization or for their particular tasks and still be able to exchange info with business partners," noted Michael Tardiff, agcXML project manager.
