Description
Parsons, Autodesk, and Esri partnered to solve a massive challenge: how to organize, index, and expose hundreds of infrastructure projects—encompassing hundreds of thousands of CAD and BIM files—in a single, searchable, map-centered interface. This session will present a real-world case study of how the Parsons, Esri, and Autodesk Consulting teams used ArcGIS GeoBIM and Autodesk Platform Services to create an automated and scalable application that connects project locations with associated design documents, enabling users to search, view, and explore design data spatially. Learn how this solution streamlined access to critical files, broke down data silos, and unlocked new efficiencies across Parsons’ enterprise. Whether you're facing legacy data sprawl or planning your own GIS-BIM integration, this session will offer valuable insights and lessons learned.
