Information Economy Strategy<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\nTogether, these strategies will enable digital2all to develop a wider reach in securing the connectivity of the AECO (Architectural, Engineering, Construction and Operations) sector to others at a functional digital level. It is hoped the initiative will help to future proof the AECO industry and increase the benefits for SME, as well as the wider supply chain in construction and asset management.<\/p>\n
Having met the BIM Level 2 agenda, BIM4SME will begin to wind down and hand over the reins to digital2all.<\/p>\n
Chair of BIM4SME Tim Platts commented: \u201cHaving established a platform that has clearly demonstrated its ability to serve its intended audience we now need to tackle the future agenda beyond Level 2, and in doing so provide a sustainable future for the group, its work and its people.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur focus will remain on providing support to the SME in attaining Level 2, and over time the team will develop its agenda to serve the broader industry in respect of the impending digital revolution.\u201d<\/p>\n
Vice Chair Raj Chawla said: \u201cIt will take the industry time to successfully join up and connect seamlessly to the digital economy, but it is the spread of know how to both the big and small organisations in the sector that will determine the rate of change.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile we all appreciate that the connected supply chain is the Holy Grail, digital2all is an attempt to start to gift the supply chain with the do\u2019s and don\u2019ts and provide a compass to set the direction.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow to harvest and understand data, maintain it and migrate and most important of all, learn how to value it.\u00a0 These are key aspects of the digital agenda.\u00a0 The sector requires as much help and support as it can get in this transition.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are transitional models in the retail and the financial sector that are working very well and the objective is to learn and apply these methodologies and sciences to the construction sector.\u201d<\/p>\n
The initiative aims to inform, assist, educate, and empower the sector to work in the digital built environment. It will also bring together likeminded groups to deliver a consistent message in adopting the digital agenda, as well as raising awareness of the digital process for SME firms.<\/p>\n
