Over the last few years, the cloud-based digital reality platform FARO Sphere® XG has grown to become one of the construction industry’s leading SaaS models. This is due to a variety of factors, namely its ease-of-use, project versatility, cross-functional data storage, and its 360° photo, point cloud, and 3D model shareability among project stakeholders.
Recently Sphere XG’s broad spectrum utility got another boost with an integration into the Autodesk Construction Cloud®, Autodesk’s suite of cloud-based software tools designed for the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction industry to help teams manage every stage of a construction project, from design and preconstruction to building, operations, and maintenance.
Create ACC Issues and RFIs through annotations in Sphere XG to provide visual context.
Considering that Autodesk Inc. has the world’s largest percentage of AEC software market share at 27%, this enhanced interoperability is designed to help FARO customers by allowing them to remain in their native ACC platform, should they desire that level of familiarity. It also enables the cross sharing of ACC data with Sphere XG users and vice versa for those who have become comfortable inside that platform instead.
With this integration, creating and managing Issues and RFIs is easier than ever. Supported by real-time feedback, collaboration and communication between project stakeholders via the sharing of key project information, ensures everyone is on the same page – a task multiplier that results in greater efficiency, faster project completion, and streamlined results, saving both time and money.
Breakdown of Benefits
- Eliminates siloes: Experience seamless collaboration with real-time synchronization of Issues/RFIs and your reality capture data.
- Get visual context to your project data: Understand what’s going on on-site with direct access to your site documentation through ACC.
- Two-way data sync: Keep team members, partners, and stakeholders updated on the latest statuses regardless of whether they access Sphere XG or ACC.
Level up Your Project Collaboration
Software like Autodesk Construction Cloud and Sphere XG delivers significant value to the construction industry by connecting people, data, and workflows across entire project lifecycles.
Instead of teams working in silos, project stakeholders can collaborate in real time using the same up-to-date data. Doing so creates a single source of truth that reduces costly errors, rework, and delays caused by miscommunication or outdated documents. Additionally, built-in BIM integration ensures accuracy in design and coordination, while project management tools improve scheduling, budgeting, and risk control.
In an uncertain and competitive world, winning the next bid, or completing the latest project with a proven track record of reliability and accuracy, could be the difference between a firm that succeeds and one that flounders.
With this latest software integration FARO is pleased to make sure your firm is set up for success!
