### Extending the Value of BIM for Owners and Operators
Data is rapidly becoming a core business asset. Yet, a staggering 95%[1] of all data remains untapped in engineering and construction.
Autodesk Tandem leverages BIM data to map the existence and location of assets, driving digital transformation for owners by integrating separate operational systems and placing them within a 3D environment—a digital twin. Last year, we launched Tandem as a digital twin solution derived from the BIM process. This year, we're taking its potential further by enabling facility monitoring. Customers can now link Tandem to operational systems and data to create a digital twin that offers insights for cutting costs and enhancing occupant experiences. For instance, Tandem can connect to building management systems and environmental sensors to continuously track a facility's energy consumption. This data can guide decisions about optimizing energy usage without compromising occupant comfort. The public beta for Tandem Facility Monitoring is set to launch soon.

### Bridging Insights and Operations Through Integrated Solutions
The post-pandemic shift to remote work has pushed building owners and operators to maximize facility value and boost efficiency. Research from analyst firm Verdantix shows that 30% of facility executives prioritize cost reduction, while 22% focus on decarbonizing their portfolios. In response, Autodesk joined forces with iOffice + SpaceIQ to empower smarter facilities and better decision-making, helping the industry slash costs and emissions.
iOffice + SpaceIQ offers the industry's most comprehensive suite of integrated workplace and enterprise asset management solutions, focusing on the operational and performance aspects of the building lifecycle. Their Archibus software is a fully integrated workplace management system (IWMS).
The newly integrated Archibus and Autodesk AEC Collection Bundle merge BIM, building operations, and workplace software for unified data management. This empowers building owners and operators to extract more value from their BIM data throughout the entire lifecycle—both during design and afterward. They can gain critical insights using construction data in operations and apply operational data in future design phases.
This partnership strengthens Autodesk's capabilities in operational building management, offering stronger support to customers across the building lifecycle.

### Strengthening Cloud Collaboration Across AEC
We’re also investing heavily in cloud collaboration and coordination for AEC customers to refine design workflows, spot issues early, and expedite project delivery—all to reduce risk and cost while achieving superior project outcomes.
#### Protecting Intellectual Property in Project Sharing
The anytime, anywhere collaboration and project management offered by Autodesk BIM Collaborate Pro enable design teams to enhance coordination with construction partners and clients. However, while data sharing is beneficial, excessive sharing can lead to complications.
Released in March, the Bridge tool in Autodesk Construction Cloud is now accessible to users of Autodesk Docs, Autodesk Build, Autodesk BIM Collaborate, Autodesk BIM Collaborate Pro, and Autodesk Takeoff. Engineers can now control exactly what gets shared across projects and accounts.
Bridge facilitates cross-account collaboration, allowing firms to store project information in their own accounts and share it in a controlled manner, minimizing errors and reducing project risks. Files and sheets can already be shared via Bridge, and we're working on extending this functionality to include Design Collaboration packages. This level of project control ensures users can keep their data safe in their accounts or projects while preventing premature access by external stakeholders.
