Disconnected people, processes and data have resulted in significant project completion delays and cost overruns. Inefficiencies during design and build have negatively impacted capital assets&#8217; operational lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As highlighted by webinar presenter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/georgeharkay?originalSubdomain=uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">George Harkay<\/a>, to supercharge and transform capital project efficiency and management, businesses should<strong> use an integrated, digitalized and data-driven approach<\/strong> to break down organizational barriers and disconnected silos that can extend across capital asset lifecycles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- START: Parmonic embed-code for video -->\n<div data-v-id=\"moment\/220163\" class=\"parmonic-widget\" data-layout=\"single\"><\/div>\n<script defer src=\"https:\/\/js.static.parmonic.ai\/v5\/aw-single.js\"><\/script>\n<script defer src=\"https:\/\/js.static.parmonic.ai\/v5\/aw-init.js\"><\/script>\n<!-- END: Parmonic embed-code for video -->\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Requirements management software improves efficiency &amp; reduces costs across asset lifecycles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you want your capital projects to start compliant and stay compliant?
