Since the start of the 21st century, the market and industry experts have told us that data should unlock value.  

However, are we using it in its present form to free up time and resources for other useful activities? We know that male site workers in construction are three times more likely to commit suicide than the average UK male, so should data give us back some breathing space? Gartner has forecast that, by 2021, artificial intelligence (AI) augmentation should generate GBP 2.3 trillion (USD 2.8 trillion) in business value and recover billions of worker productivity hours. 

This Bentley white paper outlines why we should stop fixing piecemeal problems and look at the entire ecosystem to unlock the value of data.
