2014 CI: State of the Industry Report

The 56% of integrators that say their year-end backlog is up from that of five years ago is encouraging (up 5 points from the previous year). Backlog is a good indicator of a company’s health but also the industry’s. Firms that have high backlog tend to become more selective about the projects on which they bid, creating more opportunities for other firms. Less firms bidding can also lead to more profitable projects.
