"After Sprint 0, Denver International Airport will be well on their way to achieving their ambitious goals. They'll have a digital road map that will help guide them in every aspect of their transformation, By leveraging the enormous data they already have in their systems, they'll be better able to make informed strategic decisions, better manage costs and schedules, and excel at quality and sustainability."
