LAS VEGAS, Nov. 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — In a major move to bridge the gap between building information modeling (BIM) and geographic information systems (GIS), Autodesk and Esri have officially launched a new partnership. This collaboration aims to connect the digital world of construction with real-world spatial data, helping industries better understand and manage infrastructure, environments, and communities.
The partnership is designed to offer a more comprehensive view of the built and natural environments by combining BIM and GIS technologies. This integration will allow professionals across various sectors to make more informed decisions, improve planning, and create more sustainable and resilient cities.
Jack Dangermond, President of Esri, emphasized the importance of this collaboration in addressing future challenges. "By working together, we can ensure that our projects support long-term sustainability, reduce environmental impact, and create smarter, more connected urban spaces," he said.
For infrastructure developers and city planners, the seamless integration of BIM and GIS tools can lead to significant time and cost savings. Improved workflows will help streamline project management, from initial design to ongoing operations.
Andrew Anagnost, CEO of Autodesk, highlighted the benefits of the partnership: "Combining BIM and GIS gives our customers the power to build anything, anywhere, in the context of the real world. This will enable cities to become more resilient, efficient, and sustainable."
The collaboration is expected to bring several key advantages, including faster permitting processes through better stakeholder engagement, more sustainable designs, and reduced risks during construction. These improvements are especially crucial as urban populations continue to grow, putting increasing pressure on infrastructure and resources.
John Kizior, Global Director of Project Technologies at AECOM, expressed his excitement about the partnership: "This strategic alliance has the potential to unlock new possibilities for how we manage and share information throughout the entire project lifecycle."
With over 2.5 billion more people expected to live in urban areas by 2050, the need for smarter infrastructure has never been greater. The joint efforts of Autodesk and Esri aim to revolutionize how we plan, build, and maintain the cities of tomorrow.
The announcement was made at Autodesk University in Las Vegas, where both companies showcased their vision for a more connected and intelligent future. For more details, visit the Autodesk and Esri collaboration page.
