Three key trends driving a transformation in data
Automation
Many pressures are present in business that bely the need for automation. Whether it be margin pressure, resource constraints, or time to market. Automation can ease up margins, help use resources more efficiently, and reduce time to market.
Collaboration
The need for greater collaboration across software, tool, and geographies is more and more prevalent. This need for collaboration has only exponentially increased since the pandemic and the increase of remote workforces.
Convergence
Boundaries between our industries are starting to erode. Trends like industrialized construction, metaverse, AR/VR, and the evolving role of media and entertainment products in the AEC space. Convergence enables new ways of working.
Your data is your most important asset
Design and Make data is an often untapped gold-mine of resources that can provide important insights that can help you reimagine workflows. Learn about three key requirements of data and the tools available today that can help you transform your data into your most important asset.
Companies are bridging gaps with Design and Make data
Gain insights and efficiency through CAD and ERP integration
Design, cost, and facility data were in siloes. Cideon used the Manufacturing Data Model API to build a connection between Autodesk Fusion and SAP's ERP systems. This resulted in:
- better collaboration between engineers and manufacturers
- better design workflows
- smoother manufacturing processes
- fewer errors
- reduced costs
Three steps on the path to data democratization
Data Granularity
Today files are the smallest unit of collaboration. But file-based collaboration is painful. With the newest Autodesk Data Models, we can enable granular access of data that breaks down data smaller than files and makes possible collaboration and integrations in the cloud.
Data Interoperability
The problem we all are trying to address is how to move data efficiently across boundaries, people, and software. The new Autodesk Data Exchanges are designed to do just that. You can now exchange subsets of relevant data instead of sending entire files.
Data Accessibility
Data granularity and interoperability are only valuable if you can get to your data when and where you need it. Autodesk strives to ensure you can get to all of your data from our products. That data is not just available through the products but also through easy-to-use, consistent APIs.
We’re starting to see Autodesk make progress in really eliminating the file. If I break out the crystal ball, I suspect the direction of this file-less future is coming.
