The information age and "Moore's law" has not only changed traffic management, but our culture. You can now, using a smart phone, do what took an office to do. Data now drives the business world. Would you do business with a company that couldn't provide you with real time solutions and answers? What becomes easy for the user becomes more complex for the provider. 9/11 forced government and business to look at changing. Federal, state and local agencies found they could not communicate with each other because they had different systems. Business had to look at improving how they supplied customers because of the disruptions caused by the tragedy. We are ever evolving and you must continually improve in this global economy if you wish to remain a viable and sustainable business.
