Why the majority of CMMS System Implemenations Fail

Building Information Management

For example, virtually none of the major (or even minor) CMMS or IWMS technology vendors incorporate a standardized cost database, such as RSMeans, from which users could compare their actual material, equipment, and labor costs against a localized reference standard. “Just plain stupid”, right? That’s the hard question.

What Is a Digital Twin? 

Autodesk Construction Cloud

Our journey has shown us the importance of data and information management and how a model-centric way of working can improve how we design, construct, and manage a built asset. Imagine adding real-time data that can flow between a model or a digital replica and the physical entity or process. This data includes: BIM and 3D models.
