PETALING JAYA: Trimble and Autodesk, Inc. have entered into an interoperability agreement aimed at saving customers time and reducing project costs typically associated with workflow inefficiency across different suppliers’ technologies.
This will benefit architects, engineers and contractors and project owners by enabling more freedom to optimize technology workflows needed to meet the complex requirements of today’s construction projects.
According to the statement, Autodesk and Trimble will take steps to accelerate interoperability by exchanging Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and developer tools to build and market interoperable products.
This allows the two companies to improve upon existing data exchanges, as well as open up new workflows between their products.
Tighter product-to-product integration can enable design and construction professionals to share models, project files and other data between select Autodesk and Trimble solutions both in the office and the field, and allow for the reuse of information during design and construction throughout all phases of the project.
