• Abstract:
  In many ways, AZTech is a monumental accomplishment. As one of four national initiatives selected by the federal government to showcase the leading edge of intelligent transportation systems, AZTech fostered an unprecedented and extensive partnership between the public and private sectors. By design, AZTech will have a significant impact on the quality of life in the Phoenix metropolitan area by reducing travel time and costs, as well as improving traveler safety and air quality. Any project of this magnitude could reasonably be expected to generate a massive amount of documentation. And while keeping track of all records from beginning to end would present a significant challenge, reconstructing everything after the fact would be an absolutely arduous undertaking. However, it's not unusual with a project of this size for the immediate focus to be fixed so firmly on deployment that no concerted effort at archiving is made until after the ribbon-cutting ceremony. And for an enterprise such as AZTech that involves collaborative efforts by more than 30 diverse partners, records and documents are likely to be in a variety of formats and dispersed to a multitude of locations.
