“Clearstory layers onto a high-touch workflow that impacts hundreds, if not thousands, of people on our projects and makes it simpler and faster in a way that raises the bar for outcomes,” said Maria Pantelaros, director of innovation for Turner, in the news release. “That’s the kind of innovation we embrace.”
