Thinking more and more about where your data is actually stored? You’re not the only one; in today’s era of cloud computing where data is stored, processed and accessed in multiple locations, there is a growing need for data residency. In an increasingly globalised world, we are hearing from industry that it is a top priority to ensure the secure management of project data within the country’s borders. Local data storage ensures that essential project data remains within Australia which achieves a variety of positive benefits for users of Autodesk Construction Cloud.

There’s something to be said about doing important things before you need to do them. For example, many people go to the doctor for regular checkups before any signs of illness appear to stay healthy and get ahead of potential issues.
This lesson also applies to digital transformation. It’s best to digitize your processes before you need to, so you’re not scrambling to catch up if something (say, a global pandemic) pushes you to do so.
Robert Lownes, Director of BIM Services at Gray AE, PSC, had the foresight (and a bit of luck!) to transition from desktop and on-premise servers be ..read more

Sustainability is the talk of the town (or many towns), and Copenhagen is no different. Like other places in the world, we recognize the need for eco-friendly building practices. Acting sooner rather than later ensures that we can create structures that are sustainable, not just for the planet but also for the people in it.
This is particularly true when it comes to city infrastructures.
Industry data shows that the urban population will more than double its size by 2050, meaning seven out of 10 people will live in cities a little over two decades from now.
We are entering a tipping poin ..read more

Welcome to part 2 of our series straight from Autodesk University, Las Vegas, where there’s never a dull moment! We’re going on an adventure where we’ll dive into the science of geography. This field plays a key role in shaping our spatial perceptions and interactions with the world around us. It goes beyond the location and coordinates of objects—it encompasses their functions, the people, and the broader context of each space. Through geographic information systems (GIS), I’ve discovered a fascinating avenue for understanding and learning about the dynamics of our buildings and urban environ ..read more

Resistance to change is one of those timeless issues that continue to challenge organizations across various industries. Most people are creatures of habit, so folks can be skeptical when something new comes along (even if it’s ultimately for their benefit).
The good news is that if you can demonstrate that fresh processes and tools actually make teams’ lives easier, they are more likely to adopt new solutions.
Dwane Lindsey, Architectural Applications Director, FGM Architects, is fully immersed in implementing and managing change. So much so that he often refers to himself as the ..read more
