The class will introduce Advanced Oncotherapy and its complex proton therapy solution product. It will then explain how all the master data associated with this, as well as the majority of the business management processes, have been realised in a highly integrated and fully-customised implementation of Fusion Lifecycle which is closely linked to the company's ERP system with which data is shared on a real-time basis. This integration of business processes is designed to meet the requirements of the demanding ISO13485 standard for medical device regulatory requirements.

You’re in a small shop of 10 people, or you’re working in a company with hundreds of users who break into teams to deliver a project. What you share in common is the need to effectively collaborate and manage the data. You’ve had a look at Data Management and it looks like it will solve some significant business needs, but you don’t know how to present it to your manager, or who to ask for more information. Join us in this class where we’ll talk about use cases for Data Management, from small customer needs to those solving the needs of the enterprise. We’ll talk about Data Management for those who have needs in manufacturing to those who may want to use it to help them manage civil or architectural data. We’ll also discuss ways you can go back to your office, understand and assess your requirements, choose the appropriate product, and have an understanding of what software, hardware and training requirements will be necessary to present a business case to your manager.

The rapid pace of technological developments and the emergence of disruptive technologies such as cloud and mobile computing mean that the opportunities in capitalizing on such advancements have never been greater. However, successfully implementing technology in your business is not just about purchasing software and getting some training. The biggest benefits come to those who step back and reevaluate how they do business, as well as take a strategic approach to changing management. This class will look at the art of business process re-engineering and change management.

Product lifecycle management (PLM) is often treated as a system of record for BOMs but leading teams are using it to drive product strategy, execution, and cross-functional alignment. In this session, we'll show how to evolve PLM into a product management backbone that connects engineering, operations, and business decisions. You'll learn practical workflows for managing product definitions, changes, and lifecycle data in a way that improves visibility, reduces delays, and enables better decision making. Walk away with patterns you can apply immediately to move beyond BOM management and unlock real business value from PLM.

Companies often have multiple tools for supporting their product lifecycle management (PLM) and related business processes. This situation is usually because of the limitations of individual systems and management of PLM-related projects in functional silos. Autodesk PLM 360 cloud-based product lifecycle management provides capabilities that can address most of the PLM business process needs. However, companies still need to build cross-functional consensus to make Autodesk PLM 360 the platform for their PLM processes. This class will describe how to achieve that objective.

I’ve had over 22 years of experience running a successful profitable company and I’ve experienced 3 major market crashes, so I know that staying in business is very challenging. Without the proper planning and know-how, most businesses will not survive. Talented artists create most companies in our industry. Unfortunately most will struggle and go out of business because of their lack of business knowledge. In my roundtable I would like to address some key items most companies will experience along the way, including business planning; marketing; how to be profitable; when to say no; and expanding markets. We will also discuss defining your company/industry; growing a company and how to structure that growth; developing client relationships; and knowing what to expect during key milestones in your business and how to react and plan for them. I have always said, “I may have the best renderers in the industry, but it’s my business knowledge that will keep my company going.”

It can be difficult to develop a sound business case and secure funding to implement new technology. This class will discuss an Autodesk Consulting engagement by a major electric and gas utility to develop a strategic implementation plan and business case for the adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) for both the transmission workflow and the substation design engineering and construction workflow. The Solution will alter the current design and construction management processes, and it includes InfraWorks software, AutoCAD Civil 3D software, Inventor software, Inventor Publisher software, Substation Design Solution software, Vault software, and BIM 360 software. In this class we will discuss the process followed to analyze the business requirements, develop a Solution, and formulate an implementation plan and cost estimate. The class will highlight an approach to benefit quantification, which includes preparing a net cash-flow analysis and calculating the financial metrics required to present and win funding approval from senior management.

Do you want to understand how your portfolio of projects are performing hosted on BIM 360 and Autodesk Forma? Would you like to maximum the value of your Autodesk analytics investment? This case study will cover a data product design developed by Walt Disney Parks and Resorts and Autodesk Consulting. We will give an overview of Disney's business requirements, KPIs, and metrics. We will list technical aspects of the data ELT (extracting, loading, and transforming) from Autodesk Data Connector. An area of focus will be the data engineering processes required to produce meaningful consolidated tables, where data from the Data Connector is sliced and diced to target customers' KPIs. The final products include an account users' management tool and three health-scoring systems, which are used to compare projects' health scores based on customized metrics. The products transform raw data into actionable insights that inform tactical business decisions. The scores generated equip Disney with detailed intelligence about the state of business.

In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, digital twins are revolutionizing traditional business models in the architecture, engineering, construction, and operations (AECO) industry. The technology is not only transforming the way businesses operate, but it's also paving the way for innovative business models, enabling organizations to gain a competitive edge in the global market. A digital twin is a physical object's virtual replica that connects static, spatial, and real-time data from the real-world counterpart to provide valuable insights for the user. It integrates with additional tools that may use machine learning and AI to provide additional value in asset operations and management. This panel will explore how companies are using digital twins to build innovative business models. The panelists will discuss how they are augmenting existing deliverables, creating business opportunities, and diversifying short- and long-term revenue streams while building whole-lifecycle relationships with their clients.

Strategy services have become essential to fund not only the clear prioritization which Building Information Modeling (BIM) uses to implement and to get key stakeholders, decision makers, and senior management to buy- in. Furthermore, it has become evident to align the successful adoption goals in early stages of strategic initiatives. The purpose of this class is to bring customers together who have already done a business value alignment (Systra, Ramboll, Pyöry) to share their experiences and match it with customers who have not yet done a BIM strategy alignment. This session features Revit.
