Since we <a href=\"https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/en\/pressrelease\/autodesk-and-esri-partnering-to-advance-infrastructure-planning-and-design\/\">announced<\/a> our strategic partnership with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/en-us\/about\/about-esri\/overview\">Esri<\/a>, the global industry leader in Geographic Information System (GIS) software, the convergence of Building Information Modeling (BIM) with GIS continues to produce results for our customers. Customers like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/customer-stories\/ohm-advisors-livonia-michigan\">OHM Advisors<\/a>, hired by the City of Livonia, MI, after a catastrophic water meter failure in 2018. Called on to overhaul water emergency planning, OHM moved the city from paper binders to the digital age. OHM created more than 40 GIS-based hydraulic models. Each included scenario-based response plans, outlined down to the tiniest detail. How do water pressure requirements differ for a dialysis center compared to busy hotels? The city can now call up the answers on dashboards, tailored to the scenario. Autodesk\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/innovyze\/2022\/12\/16\/new-in-infowater-pro-latest-arcgis-pro-support-powerful-diagnostic-tools\/\">InfoWater Pro<\/a> and Esri\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/en-us\/arcgis\/products\/arcgis-pro\/overview\">ArcGIS Pro<\/a> were integrated to make this possible, and there are many more examples of how our partnership with Esri enables BIM and GIS data to seamlessly flow between our respective solutions. The result is that project stakeholders can now visualize, understand, and analyze infrastructure within its real-world context. Read on for more examples of recent integrations that help our customers plan, design, build, and operate with greater insight, resulting in better, more sustainable and equitable outcomes within the water and civil infrastructure industries. <\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"> <div id=\"attachment_45585\" style=\"width: 1133px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-45585\" class=\"size-full wp-image-45585\" src=\"https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/app\/uploads\/2023\/06\/BIM-GIS-convergence.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1123\" height=\"626\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/app\/uploads\/2023\/06\/BIM-GIS-convergence.jpg 1123w, https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/app\/uploads\/2023\/06\/BIM-GIS-convergence-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/app\/uploads\/2023\/06\/BIM-GIS-convergence-1024x571.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/app\/uploads\/2023\/06\/BIM-GIS-convergence-768x428.jpg 768w, https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/app\/uploads\/2023\/06\/BIM-GIS-convergence-700x390.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1123px) 100vw, 1123px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-45585\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">From desktop tools to cloud-based integrations, the convergence of BIM &amp; GIS helps transform how infrastructure assets are designed, delivered, and managed.<\/p><\/div> <\/p>\n<h3>Data flows upstream and downstream for water infrastructure<\/h3>\n<p> The digital maturity in water infrastructure is wide-ranging. Some systems still adhere to color-coded mapbooks, and others are in various stages of digital technology adoption. Regardless of where they fall, many water professionals still lose time manually blending disconnected data, models, and maps. Those days are ending. Now, key hydraulic modeling and cloud technologies are integrated with ArcGIS Pro and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/en-us\/arcgis\/products\/arcgis-online\/overview\">ArcGIS Online<\/a>, giving water professionals seamless access to geospatial context. The benefits include: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Asset management and operational analytics:<\/strong> Info360 products\u2013including <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/innovyze\/2023\/02\/27\/new-in-info360-asset-arcgis-online-integration-risk-scenario-publishing-and-a-decision-tree-upgrade\/\">Info360 Asset<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/innovyze\/2023\/05\/08\/info360-insight-global-launch-enhanced-analytics-helpful-integrations-and-powerful-template-building-capabilities\/\">Info360 Insight<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/innovyze\/2023\/05\/12\/whats-new-for-the-info360-plant-autodesk-global-launch\/\">Info360 Plant<\/a>\u2013now share results directly with ArcGIS Online to provide a seamless two-way exchange of data. This enables collaboration and visualization of Info360 results through webmaps and customized dashboards within ArcGIS Online.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Water distribution:<\/strong> InfoWater Pro allows engineers to model water distribution systems in an easy-to-use GIS interface and present results clearly in ArcGIS Pro.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p> We recently heard from OHM Advisors about the value of GIS integration and modeling: \u201cHaving the GIS layers on when you\u2019re developing scenario recommendations is really important,\u201d said Susan Knepper, a water resources engineer. \u201cIn models without GIS information displayed, a modeler could provide isolation recommendations where true isolation valves don\u2019t actually exist.\u201d Water networks and terrain continually evolve, along with the communities around them. This GIS-to-BIM model connection allows water professionals to keep pace, at every stage. <\/p>\n<h3>Reducing risk from the world\u2019s most complex projects<\/h3>\n<p> Civil infrastructure is profoundly complicated, inherent data gaps across products and workflows take a lot of time to bridge and communicate, resulting in errors and omissions that can have significant negative project consequences. But we\u2019re closing the gap between GIS and BIM. Today, <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/aec\/2023\/04\/04\/whats-new-in-civil-3d-infraworks-and-recap-pro-2024\/#civil-3d-2024\">tighter connections exist<\/a> and continued enhancements are giving customers greater control and flexibility.

But perhaps more importantly, it benefits society and everyone who utilizes the built environment, everything from roads, bridges, transit, water, and power systems. <\/p>\n<h3>BIM and GIS, together, for a more sustainable, resilient, and equitable future<\/h3>\n<p> From a technology standpoint, our partnership with Esri is about bringing together disconnected data sources to drive better decision making and project outcomes. But from a people standpoint, it\u2019s about solving some of the world\u2019s biggest challenges. Global dynamics like climate change, population growth, and water scarcity put increased pressure on project teams. The world needs infrastructure that\u2019s more sustainable, and we need these critical infrastructure assets to be more resilient. The City of Livonia\u2019s water system is hardly an outlier. Communities around the globe are maintaining and modernizing their infrastructure networks and preparing for the future. And we\u2019re thrilled to partner with Esri to help make that future stronger. <em>To learn more about our partnership, visit the Autodesk-Esri web pages <a
