Efficient life-cycle management of the built environment comes down to analyzing large data sets— big data—from several knowledge domains. Organizations that can best harness “Big data” in within the AECOO sector (Architecture, Engineering, Construction, Operations, Owner) will hold a distinct competitive advantage.
