What an amazing week at Autodesk University 2024!?Over 12,000 people converged on the San Diego convention center for an action-packed week.?I spent 4 full days meeting with customers and partners in a variety of settings… presentations, advisory boards, summits, business reviews, awards ceremonies, socials, and 1:1 conversation.
Here are a few highlights from what I learned:
1) We need to enable better collaboration across companies and personas involved in a project… architects, engineers, contractors, fabricators, project managers, etc.?We hosted the AEC Customer Advisory Board on the first day with “Digital Project Delivery” being the primary discussion topic, with customers sharing their views on how we can collectively work better together across disciplines
2) Local standards and regulations add significant complexity for all firms, having to maintaining compliance.?AI could play a role in performing initial validation of whether a design is compliant, or in searching regulations to find the pertinent requirements
3) Accessing data currently stored in application files can support a variety of use cases.?Customers are using the AEC Data Model to access project data and apply algorithms to assess whether their users created designs consistent with their companies’ standards
4) Companies want finer-grain permissions, to specify who can modify what data in their designs.?For example, the ability to require certain materials across projects as a company standard, with only select individuals being able to modify that.?They also want better auditing, so they know which user made what changes in a design.
5) Partners play a critical role with Autodesk solutions.?Fugro’s sub-surface modeling capabilities with GeoDin are a perfect complement to Civil 3D for site design.?ESRI’s advanced mapping and geolocation capabilities provide the necessary context for our users’ designs.?HP and AMD’s innovation in hardware provide users with better performance, particularly for large-scale designs.?It takes the ecosystem working together to deliver the most value to customers
There are many sessions that I couldn’t attend, so will be watching them online.?You can as well – visit the AU website below!
