Roadway organizations are recognizing the need to broaden the performance measures and targets that are driving strategic decisions in order to achieve their policy goals and make the best use of every dollar.

No other capital-intensive industry contends with the sheer volume and variety of decisions—or the intense rate of technology and market change—that Communication Service Providers, Network Operators, and Infrastructure Providers face today.
