S
Why IFC’s
"As buildings get more complex, specialisation increases and leads to greater fragmentation between the players and their processes, in an industry that is already fragmented.
Where each of the players uses their own specialist software, the number of applications can swiftly escalate.
Without a technology that integrates and streamlines operations and processes, there is inefficiency, waste, errors and escalating costs at all phases of a facility's life-cycle. That's why IFCs!”
-IAI/Dr. Lachmi Khemlani
