Description
Many organizations adopt Autodesk Forma industry cloud as their common data environment (CDE) for BIM collaboration. But complex infrastructure projects rely on far more than BIM tools alone. Traffic modeling, hydraulic analysis, geotechnical simulations, and geographic information system (GIS) workflows often depend on specialized software that cannot operate effectively within cloud collaboration platforms. This session will show how Parsons implemented a practical CDE architecture with Autodesk Forma at the center of coordination while supporting discipline-specific production environments. You'll learn how clear governance, ISO 19650 alignment, and defined workflows can unify multidisciplinary collaboration without constraining engineering delivery.
Key Learnings
- Learn how to position Autodesk Forma as the coordination layer within a hybrid CDE architecture.
- Discover how to support specialized engineering tools without disrupting multidisciplinary collaboration.
- Learn about governance strategies that align hybrid CDE workflows with ISO 19650 principles.
- Learn practical methods for integrating non-BIM disciplines into a unified information framework.
