+Many organizations participate in a capital project. Each has to communicate with the others in order to complete their portion of the work. For instance, here we see a project with six participants who all need to exchange information about a pump. They don't all need to know everything about the pump, but there is a large overlap. All of the information that any of these organization needs already resides in the computer system of one of the business parnters.

-To us it seems intuitive that communication will happen freely and easily because all of the organizations are dealing with the same physical objects, and all of the organizations have a vested interest in doing things quickly and reliably.
-
-Take, for example, a pump.  The constructor needs to know how big it is, how it is connected (for instance, the base plate dimensions and piping and electrical connections), and when to expect delivers. Nowadays the engineer and purchasing agent will have all of this in a database somewhere and can just give this to the constructor—can’t they?
-
-The purchasing agent needs to know enough details to properly specify which pump to buy as well as to whom to direct the request for quotation and the eventual order. The engineer knows this and has it in a database somewhere and can just give this to the purchaser—can’t he?
-
-The manufacturer makes many pumps so he needs to know which model and which options to include. Nowadays the purchasing agent will have all of this information in a database and can just give it to the manufacturer—can’t he?
-
-Regulator bodies want to make rules that will result in safe facilities. For this, they need information on how, in this case, pumps are manufactured and used. Engineers, manufacturers, and owners have all of this and nowadays will keep it in electronic records somewhere. They can just turn these over—can’t they?
-
-Owner-Operators, at the end of the construction phase need information on how to operate their plants efficiently and safely. They need operating instructions and spare parts information. The constructor, engineer, and manufacturer have all this in a database somewhere and can simply hand it over—can’t they?
