LAS VEGAS, November 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Autodesk, Inc. and Esri, Inc. have officially kicked off a new collaboration aimed at bridging the gap between Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). By joining forces, these two industry leaders intend to empower a wide array of sectors to enhance their understanding by visualizing data from both the built environment and the natural world, along with the complex networks that connect them.
Jack Dangermond, President of Esri, emphasized the importance of considering future generations when designing projects. He noted, "By teaming up with Autodesk, we aim to ensure sustainable resource management for the expanding population, reduce humanity's ecological footprint, optimize the use of Earth's resources, and create more resilient urban centers."
Infrastructure owners worldwide, whether public or private, stand to benefit immensely as BIM and GIS software become more tightly integrated. This collaboration promises to streamline planning, design, construction, and maintenance processes, saving significant time and financial resources. The enhanced compatibility between Esri and Autodesk tools could drastically cut down on workflow durations.
Andrew Anagnost, CEO of Autodesk, expressed excitement about combining BIM and GIS capabilities: "Our mission is to equip industry and city planners with tools that allow them to design with real-world context in mind. This will foster the development of interconnected, resilient cities and infrastructure that prioritize sustainability."
Autodesk and Esri are committed to deepening the synergy between their platforms so that professionals can leverage insights from both BIM and GIS data. Anticipated advantages include faster permitting through improved stakeholder engagement, more sustainable and insightful project designs, and lower risks during construction due to smoother material flows, better resource allocation, and optimized schedules.
John Kizior, Global Director of Project Technologies at AECOM, remarked, "I am thrilled about the strategic partnership between Autodesk and Esri. At AECOM, we embrace innovation, and I believe this alliance will yield exciting software synergies. Together, these technologies hold the potential to connect information across the entire project lifecycle, offering unprecedented value to our clients."
With the global population projected to grow by 2.5 billion over the next three decades—70% of whom will live in urban areas—the strain on existing infrastructure is set to skyrocket. Addressing this challenge requires streamlining every aspect of transportation and infrastructure development. The planned enhancements to Esri and Autodesk’s integration will redefine how we construct the future, ensuring readiness to "Make Anything, Anywhere" using The Science of Where.
This announcement was made by Andrew Anagnost and Jack Dangermond at Autodesk University 2017 in Las Vegas, Nevada. For further details, visit the Autodesk and Esri collaboration page.
