Construction industry (AECO sector) have been fragmented and laggards in adopting digital process. The productivity has been of major concern globally, pulling total economy substantially down. Study shows that the value created through higher productivity, can meet half the world’s infrastructure need. High and persistent cost and time overruns are common. Study also shows that the digitization in construction is in the lowest rung; just above agriculture. infrastructure needs to be comprehended from the Asset perspective, shifting from present project paradigm; moving towards Infrastructure (Asset) Lifecycle Management (ILM) assuring Asset performance; delivering value to the user. At the same time, OPEX, being multiple times higher than the CAPEX, when addressed in the early stage of design and delivery, productivity increases substantially. ICT has major role to play in connecting the information and people across the entire infrastructure lifecycle; thus, facilitate accomplishing ILM in similar lines of PLM in manufacturing sector, delivering value to the users. ICT can facilitate transforming from digitisation (using technologies in creating digital contents) in silos, to digitalisation of information flow process; bringing visibility of status along with accessibility of reliable information to its users down the line, from a single source of truth and on real-time basis. The process flows of infrastructure asset delivery and operation have now been laid down clearly in ISO 19650 series. The digitalization of these ISO process, Standardizing Information exchange format, Asset classification with LOD & LOI etc. are among the major way forward interfacing ICT and construction industry (AECO sector).

建筑业（AECO 部门）在采用数字化流程方面已经分散且落后。生产力一直是全球关注的主要问题，导致整体经济大幅下滑。研究表明，通过更高的生产力创造的价值，可以满足全球一半的基础设施需求。高昂且持续的成本和时间超支很常见。研究还表明，建筑业的数字化程度最低；略高于农业。基础设施需要从资产的角度来理解，从目前的项目范式转变；迈向基础设施（资产）生命周期M管理 (ILM) 确保资产绩效；为用户提供价值。同时，OPEX 比 CAPEX 高出数倍，在设计和交付的早期阶段解决时，生产力会大大提高。ICT 在连接整个基础设施生命周期中的信息和人员方面发挥着重要作用；因此，有助于在制造业PLM的类似线路中完成ILM，为用户创造价值。ICT可以促进从孤岛的数字化（使用技术创建数字内容）向信息流过程的数字化转变；从单一的事实来源和实时的基础上，为用户提供状态可见性以及可靠信息的可访问性。基础设施资产交付和运营的流程现已在 ISO 19650 系列中明确规定。这些 ISO 流程的数字化、标准化信息交换格式、带有 LOD 和 LOI 的资产分类等是 ICT 和建筑行业（AECO 部门）连接的主要方式。
