We're going through the procurement process for an external system, and a key component is the requirements for integration with roads and highways.
The question is where to balance the mandatory requirements. My experience has been that lots of software will say they can integrate, but don't fully utilize or fit with roads and highways particular linear referencing capabilities.
From my perspective, having stringent roads and highways integration requirements would save a lot of headaches, but would limit our options. Whereas having fewer might require work arounds that limit the value of roads and highways but are strong at their intended purpose.
