BusinessIQ: The Operational Intelligence Platform Built for AEC

Built on Microsoft Fabric, BusinessIQ connects project, financial, resource, and operational data through a single intelligence layer. AI-powered insights and agents help firms surface risk earlier, protect margin, improve predictability, and turn intelligence into action.

One Business. One View.

Intelligence That Moves the Business Forward

BusinessIQ helps AEC firms turn fragmented data into actionable intelligence.

By connecting business development, project delivery, resources, and finance through a unified intelligence layer, BusinessIQ gives teams earlier visibility into the decisions that drive project and firm performance.

Purpose-built applications, analytics, and AI agents help firms pursue the right work, improve execution, protect margin, accelerate cash flow, and plan with greater confidence.

Identify Risk Before It Impacts Performance

BusinessIQ brings project, financial, resource, and operational intelligence into one connected view. Leaders can monitor performance across the portfolio, identify emerging risks, and move from firm-wide visibility into the projects that require attention.

Instead of searching across disconnected systems and static reports, teams gain a clearer view of project health, margin, resources, forecasts, and business risk so they can act earlier and with greater confidence.

The Challenge:

Growth Creates Complexity. Complexity Creates Blind Spots.

In AEC, margin is won or lost on the project. Yet many firms still rely on disconnected systems, delayed reporting, and manual processes to manage performance.

Projects slip below target margin before anyone notices. Change orders go unbilled. Forecasts arrive too late to influence outcomes. Leaders are left with reports that explain what happened instead of intelligence that helps them decide what to do next.

This is not simply a data problem. It is a visibility and execution problem.

As firms grow across projects, teams, disciplines, and regions, risks surface too late, decisions slow down, and profitability becomes harder to predict. The result is missed revenue, shrinking margins, operational friction, and less confidence in future performance.

The Solution:

Turn Connected Intelligence into Earlier Action

BusinessIQ closes the gap between reporting and action. Built on Microsoft Fabric, it connects project, financial, resource, and operational data with purpose-built applications and AI agents that help teams identify risk earlier, automate routine work, and improve performance.

  • Win the Right Work: Use your firm’s project, pursuit, client, and relationship data to identify stronger opportunities, qualify pursuits faster, and create more compelling proposals.

  • Protect Project Margin: Give project teams earlier visibility into budget, schedule, resource, and delivery risks so they can act before profitability is affected.

  • Automate Routine Processes: Reduce manual work across time entry, expense management, billing, vendor communication, and finance so teams can focus on higher-value activities.

  • Forecast with Confidence: Connect project and financial performance to improve forecast accuracy, anticipate risk, and support better planning across the business.
