Projects can quickly become chaotic without a platform to unify and manage this data as important information gets lost in the shuffle. That's why it's vital to have a system for unifying design and construction project documents. By unifying all the data in one platform, everyone involved in the project can easily access the information they need when they need it.

With the deadline to comply with CMMC expected in May 2023, many in the Defense Industrial Base are scrambling to understand how to comply, the tools they need to comply, and the cost to comply.
