6. Not the solution!!
Traditional development
• Study / product evaluation
• Specification and development project
• Run Pilot
• Roll out
• 2-3 years and lots of million SEK later…….

7. Today
(we need to be faster to market)
So we did:
• Study, product and external services evaluation
• Identify key actors and trends
• Use external services and existing solutions
• Use open solutions
• Develop integrations
9 months later and with a small investment
During the last 9 months the following has happened:
BIM 360 documents, Buzzsaw client for IOS/Android
Windows-8, RT and Slate PC

9. What did NCC achieve:
Less time during model coordination
• Automatic checks (QA/QC)
• Rule set determining who will:
• See what information
• On which plattform
Automatic generation of:
• pdf, dwf, dwg, ifc and nwd
Allow each system to do what it is best at, we just
ensure that the latest information is distributed as
efficient as possible
