Reed Construction Data, a leading provider of construction information, is launching a major initiative throughout 2008 to boost the quality and quantity of its construction reporting data.
Using new technology and automation to improve speed and efficiency, Reed’s investment represents a 40 percent increase in its overall data reporting resources, and is designed to increase the quantity of reports issued, improve the timeliness of project coverage and increase the number of plans and specs acquired.
“This initiative sets a new standard for Reed Construction Data by enhancing the quality of the products we offer our customers every day,” said Jane Rafeedie, Vice President, Data Acquisition. “We’re excited about the promise of this ongoing investment and expect to see notable results throughout the year.”
To reach its aggressive benchmarks, Reed is leveraging established resources from Reed Business Information, including its 20-year-old Reed Data Services operation. No job reductions are planned in Reed’s U.S. operations as a result of this initiative.
“We are responding to our customers’ needs for more information, more updates, and faster turnaround times,” Rafeedie continued. “Our customers are working harder than ever and we are very happy to innovate in ways that will help them win more business.”
Reed executives have stated positive results are being seen in current training phases and they expect to see additional results as the initiative progresses.
