FRANCISCO, April 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Autodesk,
Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) today announced an interoperability agreement
with the Nemetschek Group to improve open collaboration and
efficiencies for the architecture, engineering, construction and
operations (AECO) and media and entertainment (M&E) industries.
The agreement will enhance existing interoperability between the
two companies' industry cloud and desktop products and improve the
fluent exchange of information across solutions.
Whether constructing buildings or highways or producing media
assets, working with cloud-connected tools powers automation and
unlocks valuable insights for better decisions at every stage of a
project. But too often, people, processes, and data are siloed due
to software and file incompatibility, resulting in inefficient
workflows.
"Autodesk is firmly committed to building open, integrated,
cloud-powered solutions for our customers that unlock data and
connect project teams," said Amy
Bunszel, Executive Vice President, Architecture, Engineering
and Construction Solutions at Autodesk. "Extending Autodesk's cloud
and desktop solutions with Nemetschek interoperability is a huge
step towards optimizing our customers' workflows and helping them
generate better project outcomes."
Optimizing workflows across Autodesk and Nemetschek will allow
data to flow more easily from one cloud platform or desktop
application to another so details get to the right people at the
right time. The interoperability is powered by Autodesk
Platform Services (APS), a set of open Application Programming
Interfaces (APIs) and web services, that enables Nemetschek's
dTwin, Bluebeam Cloud, BIMcloud, and BIMplus to connect to
Autodesk's industry clouds—Forma, Fusion, and Flow—and design
solutions. This will enable customers and partners to connect their
data and capabilities across the respective solutions so users can
focus on optimizing their projects with automation, AI and
insight.
This interoperability agreement demonstrates an ongoing
commitment to integration and open industry standards, such as
openBIM by buildingSMART, which extends the benefits of Building
Information Modeling (BIM) by improving the accessibility,
usability, management and sustainability of digital data in the
built asset industry. By creating a silo-free ecosystem to
collaborate, teams can work from the same digital model on
end-to-end workflows.
"Supporting openBIM, interoperability, and open industry
standards is deeply rooted in the Nemetschek Group's DNA," said
Marc Nézet, Chief Strategy Officer of the Nemetschek Group. "Our
interoperability agreement with Autodesk is a historic move to give
customers the ability to work in any project environment and with
any software ecosystem, ultimately resulting in a better built
world."
Under the terms of the agreement, Autodesk and the Nemetschek
Group will provide mutual access to their APIs and industry clouds,
thereby giving developer access to Autodesk solutions including
AutoCAD, Revit, 3ds Max and Maya, as well as Autodesk Forma and
Autodesk Construction Cloud, similarly to Nemetschek solutions
including Allplan, Archicad, Bluebeam, Maxon One, Vectorworks as
well as Nemetschek's relevant cloud platforms. This will enable the
two companies to improve upon existing data exchanges and open new
data-centric workflows that span disciplines and industries.
