As BIM 360 is cloud-based, obviously it connects a workforce securely through mobile devices. The service will be never ‘complete’ as there will always be new capabilities added to BIM 360, as once project data is hosted in the cloud all sorts of capabilities and integrations are possible. It is probably one of the most advanced Autodesk Forge-based service suites.īIM 360 offers publishing and viewing (2D/3D), real-time collaboration for Revit, project coordination, design and constructability reviews, project controls, quality and safety management, reporting and dashboards, project permissions- based access and possible future integrations. Docs, Glue, Field, Project IQ, BIM 360 Design have been integrated with additional viewing tools, workflow and coherently rebranded. Roll forward to 2019 and that suite looks a lot more compelling than the initial offering and seems to improve on a monthly timeline, with enhancements constantly being added. Launched in 2015, it finally addressed Autodesk’s document management vacuum. The origin of BIM 360 was in itself a journey for the company, with its commitment to the cloud, the development team switched from writing desktop applications to writing always-on web services, porting existing desktop capabilities to the cloud and then fleshing out the offering with specific suites of functionality to cater to the typical stakeholders in a project. It will be interesting to see how long these acquisitions take to digest and connect together, hopefully without losing too much momentum. Autodesk now fields a formidable suite of tools. PlanGrid and BuildingConnected complement the work that has already been done with its BIM 360 portal and services and represent an acceleration in capability. Since Andrew Anagnost took over, Autodesk has refocussed on the digitisation of construction, and having just shelled out over $1 billion on acquisitions, including the largest in the company’s history, there is absolutely no doubt that this is where it will focus its future efforts, offering services to connect the building industry, from design through construction and into operations. Like all good farmers, Autodesk is now banking on the cloud to grow further. However, if you were to look at Autodesk’s stable of products and services today, it’s clear that the company’s diversification and growth, through organic and non-organic methods, has produced a bumper crop of products, at varying stages of maturity. There was a time when Autodesk was a one trick pony, with AutoCAD being the cash cow.
