2 ProjectSight Case Study: Simplifying Processes: James E. Roberts-Obayashi Corporation
The James E. Roberts-Obayashi Corporation has served the San Francisco Bay area for more than 80 years as a general contractor. Over the past decade, the

eventually taking on the role as IT Manager, starting his search for a collaborative, web-based system to replace their existing software.
