Description
Managing data on megaprojects is one of the most complex challenges in construction today. With diverse stakeholders, global teams, and a multitude of tools in use, maintaining access to accurate, real-time data across regions becomes critical. But what happens when a live, ongoing project needs to be migrated—across platforms and geographies—without disrupting progress? In this session, we’ll explore a real-world case where a project team undertook a year-long effort to migrate project data from BIM 360 to Construction Cloud, and subsequently transitioned the project from the United States to the EU data center to meet data residency and regulatory requirements. We’ll walk through the technical and logistical challenges faced, compare available migration strategies, and showcase how the team used Construction Cloud to automate much of the process—ensuring continuity, compliance, and collaboration across the board.
