Overview: Projects have long been seen as information rich environments with associated calls for information integration to support decision-making. Yet even with advanced applications based on shared data standards, project professionals still face considerable difficulty accessing needed information in a form useful for decision making. In the authors' viewpoint, a primary reason for these difficulties is that most data and tools are designed and operated in the context of specific applications. Information tunnels per se would not be a difficulty if projects had identical problems; walls between tunnels could be torn down or professionals could develop heuristic integration mechanisms that functioned with a high degree of reliability, speed, and accuracy.
