Projects in the transport industry are on the rise, whether it be construction, extension or refurbishment of road, rail, sea or airport infrastructures.

This growth stems from various phenomena like worldwide economic growth, globalization, increasing urbanization, the renewal of ageing infrastructures, increasing trans-national connections or current limited networks in emerging markets. These projects are either financed by 'classical' public tenders or, more likely, by Public Private Partnerships and concessions.

Characteristics of these types of projects are:

• Long cycles for each phase (Preliminary studies, Feasibility studies, Construction phase, operation and maintenance) leading to the requirement to track project progress and optimize the transfer of information during, and between, each phase
• Involvement of a large number of players/partners, due in particular to numerous interfaces with other infrastructures and the dialogue/consultation with all parties involved in the territory
• A need for confidentiality and maximum level of security, in particular in bid phase and call of expressions of interest in preparatory phase of PPP / PPP bidding package

Moreover, in the transport industry, information exchanges are numerous and complex.  In the early, preliminary phase of a project, there is a requirement to capture and track all information relating to the numerous processes involved, these can be communications running over several years.  Project Managers need to be sure that all the relevant information is transferred from one phase to the next, particularly from the construction to the operations and maintenance phase.
