A 13% increase in infrastructure projects is forecast between 2021 and 2022, with expectations for continued growth. This translates into more 811 tickets to manage.

Even without the projected growth of projects, damage prevention programs are under pressure due to several factors, including:
Utilities, oil and gas, telecom and media, and transportation companies are looking for ways to accelerate digital transformation and improve processes, automation and data quality amid these pressures.
Another reason a growth surge is expected in 811 tickets is because the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act authorized $550 billion of new spending over the next five years.
