Autodesk Showcases Project Collaboration, Data and Lifecycle Management
to More Than 8,000 Autodesk University Attendees in Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 29, 2011--
Autodesk,
Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) today brought the power of the cloud, mobile
computing and its industry-defining Building
Information Modeling (BIM) portfolio together at Autodesk
University. The design, engineering and entertainment software leader
showcased a BIM solution to dramatically improve how AEC project team
members connect, collaborate and communicate on building projects.
Autodesk’s BIM offering is part of Autodesk
360 solutions: flexible, easy to use and affordable solutions
developed to streamline product and project business processes. The
solutions are capable of scaling from individual users connecting to a
regional office, up to larger teams working on projects across
continents.
“Today’s AEC projects are often hindered by widely dispersed teams
relying on inefficient communications and collaboration services,” said
Jim Lynch, vice president, Architecture, Engineering and Construction
Solutions, Autodesk. “Autodesk
360 for BIM is a powerful and comprehensive set of cloud-based and
on-premise tools that can have project teams up and running with
collaboration and data management in a matter of days. It represents a
significant step toward enabling a BIM workflow from design through to
construction.”
The Autodesk 360 for BIM solution is designed to handle multi-discipline
models, thousands of drawings and other project information. Autodesk
360 for BIM comprises:
-
Autodesk Vault Collaboration AEC ― Currently available,
Autodesk Vault is an on-premise data management solution that lets
project teams manage and track digital models without leaving their
BIM design tools, including Autodesk
Revit Architecture, Autodesk
Revit MEP, Autodesk
Revit Structure, AutoCAD
Civil 3D and Autodesk
Navisworks. Complete project documents and content are centrally
managed and integrated with enterprise systems like Microsoft Outlook
and SharePoint. Integration with the Autodesk
Buzzsaw cloud service provides more complete external
collaboration and mobile access.

Autodesk
Buzzsaw ― The Autodesk Buzzsaw cloud-based
project collaboration solution provides for secure exchange designs
and documents with external partners and distributed teams from any
location. Autodesk Buzzsaw Mobile enables users to have the most up to
date information, wherever it’s needed. Autodesk Buzzsaw is enabled by Autodesk
Cloud technology and integrates with AutoCAD
WS for DWG review and edit
workflows.

Autodesk 360 Nexus — Autodesk 360 Nexus, introduced today
initially for the manufacturing industry, is also planned to support
configurable AEC workflow and business process management needs.
