SAN FRANCISCO, June 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Autodesk, Inc.
(NASDAQ: ADSK) today announced it has released a new series of
workflows for Autodesk Construction Cloud that can help customers
comply with ISO 19650, a global design and construction information
management standard. These new workflows offer a robust set of
tools to define a structured and standardized process for
publishing, sharing and storing project information. Global
customers using Autodesk Build, Autodesk BIM Collaborate and
Collaborate Pro, Autodesk Takeoff and Autodesk Docs can now also
choose to primarily store their project data in Europe – a common customer request for
projects in the region.
Standardization across the construction industries allows teams
to build more efficiently and create stronger collaboration among
all project and company stakeholders. ISO 19650 was introduced to
ensure firms meet specific requirements, including standard naming
conventions often defined by each country and calls for project
data be stored and managed in certain ways. The uniformity helps
teams streamline processes, become more efficient and create a
safer, more secure and more predictable approach to data
governance.
"Without a standardized document control process, teams waste
countless hours looking for the most up-to-date information," said
Gert-Jan Ditsel, BIM Manager, Dura Vermeer. "A standardized
approach is not only a requirement for many projects across
Europe, it's also beneficial for
all stakeholders with whom we work – including owners, specialty
contractors or architecture and engineering firms. The new
workflows in Autodesk Construction Cloud provide us with the tools
needed to comply with ISO 19650 standards, help ensure our naming
conventions and data stay consistent and ultimately become more
collaborative and efficient. Autodesk's global investments in
construction such as by providing us the technology to meet ISO
19650 standards is demonstrative of the company's commitment to
supporting our teams' needs wherever we're building."
New workflows to support ISO 19650
Designed and
developed in close collaboration with Autodesk customers, new
workflows within Autodesk Construction Cloud empower teams to
efficiently configure, organize and distribute documents across the
project lifecycle to support ISO 19650 requirements. Specifically,
customers can:
- Preview and enforce naming standards: teams can now
create, manage and enforce naming standards across project files to
ensure all file names align with standardizations set forth by the
project team. Document controllers can easily get started with a
naming standard template to create and enforce the project naming
standard.
- Validate the naming standard: users can automate file
uploads and ensure the files conform with a project's naming
standard to help teams comply with ISO 19650.
- Identify non-conforming files and place them in a Holding
Area: when a mix of files are uploaded to a destination folder,
some files may not conform to the enforced naming standard. The
Holding Area allows files with conforming names to be uploaded and
automatically moves non-conforming files to a Holding Area to
continue the validation and upload process.
- Increase efficiency with integrations: users are now
able to also leverage native naming standard integrations across
Revit, AutoCAD and Desktop Connector to enforce standards across
project phases.
Regional project data storage in Europe
Autodesk customers using
Autodesk Build, Autodesk BIM Collaborate, BIM Collaborate Pro,
Autodesk Takeoff and Autodesk Docs can now choose to primarily
store their project data in Europe. Both ISO 19650 compliance and data
storage proximity are often requested by customers on European
projects. By providing customers with the option to primarily store
project data in Europe and new
workflows targeted at helping companies comply with ISO 19650
measures, Autodesk is empowering construction teams throughout the
world to stay competitive during the bidding process.
"The arrival of ISO 19650 means our industry now has a common
language to talk about and understand data. We know these standards
can be complex to navigate but are critical for construction
companies to manage project data intelligently, and meeting
regional requirements around data storage give firms an additional
competitive edge," said Ilai Rotbaein, senior director, research
and development, Autodesk Construction Solutions. "Providing our
customers with workflows that support ISO 19650 standards and
primary storage for project data in Europe is another step in our continuous
journey to empower companies across the world to build
better."
Autodesk Docs will be available as a standalone
subscription
Autodesk also announced today it will be
releasing Autodesk Docs as a standalone purchase option within the
next several weeks. Autodesk Docs is the centralized data
management platform that underpins Autodesk Construction Cloud.
Previously, Autodesk Docs was included with any subscription for
Autodesk Construction Cloud and the AEC Collection. Teams will then
be able to leverage the power of Autodesk's common data environment
with Autodesk Docs as a standalone solution to create a single
source of truth across the project lifecycle.
