Abstract Since the day of punch cards that ended up in a pile on the floor or disks that ended up blank after an encounter with a magnet, we have welcomed technological advancements of data storage. The USB and external drives have taken the place of optical disks, but too often they are the carriers of malware and viruses. Now, agencies are torn between the costs of maintaining in-house data storage and trusting “the cloud.” The future of the transportation industry includes managing and sharing large amounts of project data. The systems employed to do this will need to be intelligent and capable of providing all stakeholders the correct data necessary to satisfy their needs at any point in the lifecycle of the project. These databases will need to allow users to access and share data at the same time across multiple disciplines.
