]]> Comment on Unit4 combining collaboration, ERP and BIM in the cloud by Paul Wilkinson http://extranetevolution.com/2012/02/unit4-combining-collaboration-erp-and-bim-in-the-cloud/#comment-12848 Paul Wilkinson Tue, 21 Feb 2012 13:25:49 +0000 http://extranetevolution.com/?p=5190#comment-12848 Thanks, Scott As you've probably gathered if you've browsed back through the blog or searched a few keywords, I have mentioned 'Differencing' tools before - see http://extranetevolution.com/2009/10/archicad-13-and-bim-collaboration/, for example - and I think it's a powerful solution to the bandwidth issue that will undoubtedly arise when firms want to manage updates to large BIM files. Different challenges will also arise, however, when firms want to access BIM-based information when they out in-the-field, and - unless they are on a wifi network with local access to a file server data storage device - they won't usually be able to see that data. Have you got a view on how that is going to be managed? Kind regards Paul Thanks, Scott

I thought you might be interested in what we are doing with BIM Servers at Green BIM. We’ve been providing BIM Servers to the AECO industry. The BIM Servers enable multiple people in different geographical locations to work synchronistically within the same files live. They use the existing infrastructure and outside teams don’t require risky VPN tunnels into your network. A locations network data storage equipment(typically a File Server) links to the BIM Server, which communicates changes at a bit level to the other locations. This allows teams to access their information from within their local network just as they always have. These BIM Servers also work with any file format. If you are interested and have time I would enjoy discussing more. You can take a look at information about our BIM Servers here: http://www.greenbim.com/bim-server I enjoy your articles, thank you. Cheers, ~Scott Hi Paul Wilkinson,
