An interview with ALLPLAN<\/a>\u2019s CEO Detlef Schneider and Senior Vice President Product Management Kevin Lea<\/h2>\n

The digital disruption continues to revolutionise the way buildings and assets are designed, constructed and operated, and any company that wishes to remain competitive needs to embrace these changes wholeheartedly.<\/p>\n

ALLPLAN\u2019s CEO Detlef Schneider and Senior Vice President of Product Management Kevin Lea give their view on some of the challenges that face the AEC industry and how cloud technology can help<\/a> solve them.<\/p>\n

What are the main challenges companies face when it comes to embracing new technologies?<\/h3>\n
\"\"
Detlef Schneider<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Detlef Schneider: Technology in the construction industry is evolving faster than ever before. Now that digitalisation and digital processes are being increasingly adopted, significantly more data is being added to models to service the needs of the entire project lifecycle, including facilities management. In turn, this presents technical challenges for software vendors to provide solutions<\/a> on how to manage such large sets of data for their customers.<\/p>\n

This is combined with the challenge of balancing computing power and performance. Relatively speaking, computer power has not advanced at the same speed as we now expect. Even with modern 3D solutions, having to wait a few minutes between commands is not enjoyable! Even if the software is solving thousands of problems behind the scenes that traditionally would have taken many hours, if not days. Advancements with emerging technologies such as digital twins and the use of artificial intelligence pushes the topic of how we practically handle large sets of data efficiently.<\/p>\n

How is ALLPLAN addressing these technology challenges in the industry?<\/h3>\n

Detlef Schneider: At ALLPLAN, we are addressing the topic of data handling and performance on two levels: the first is focusing on both scalability and performance within the software. This is to improve the overall speed of how the software operates and how we intelligently handle data to provide an experience that is consistent for both small and large projects.<\/p>\n

Scalability is not always fully understood. Often, a product can look and feel quick until you work on a real-life project. These days, models can include every finish, fixture, reinforcement and bolt, at which point the software can grind to a halt. We have anticipated that scalability is a fundamental requirement for our clients as we move into the future. Therefore, we have invested significantly into making Allplan operate as efficiently as possible. The results we are seeing in Allplan 2021 are quite amazing.<\/p>\n

The second area we have focused on is the use of cloud technology. Cloud technology is really the only practical way to handle and process extremely large data sets. This is not just about storing data, but also about how the data is processed.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Kevin Lea<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Kevin Lea: There is no doubt certain tasks can be processed more efficiently using cloud technology, so our aim is to provide our clients with the right tools to process their project efficiently; either on local computers or the cloud. And, of course, the flexibility to share data anywhere, anytime comes from access to the cloud and is extremely valuable. Whether staff are working from the office, on the site, or even collaborating on projects live from home offices.<\/p>\n

This year we are excited to announce that Allplan Bimplus Professional<\/a>, our cloud model management and collaboration solution will now be included with valid Serviceplus and subscription licences. This is the decisive step towards bringing a combined workflow to our clients, so they can use cloud technology to maximum effect.<\/p>\n

Of course, we recognise that some customers may have concerns about the use of cloud technology. However, as an industry we must learn to embrace it, as there is no doubt in my mind that this will be the only practical manner in which we handle a digital world in the future.<\/p>\n

What do you feel are the most important upcoming trends?<\/h3>\n

Kevin Lea: For me, it is the adoption of cloud technology and understanding how tools like Bimplus can benefit every project<\/a>. As an example, this year, along with numerous enhancements, we are also bringing another exciting innovation to our clients with workflows through the new SCIA AutoConverter.<\/p>\n

This is a great example of how, using cloud technology, we can quickly and efficiently process an Allplan model into a structural analysis wire model. The benefit of this method is that it produces a model exactly the way a structural engineer wants to see it<\/a>, without the modeller requiring structural skills and without compromising the coordination model.<\/p>\n

Detlef Schneider: With Allplan, Bimplus and SCIA AutoConverter<\/a>, we now provide intelligent workflows with a wide range of structural analysis programs, including our sister brands SCIA, Frilo and Risa. An added advantage is that there is no need to learn different workflows for each system.<\/p>\n

This is achieved through a new open file format, which has been specifically developed by Nemetschek, called Structural Analysis Format (SAF). Any structural analysis system can now link intelligently with tools such as Allplan via a straightforward Microsoft Excel file. It is exciting to see so many prominent structural analysis solutions adopting this format, which bodes well for an even greater streamlined BIM solution for the AEC industry.<\/p>\n

What advice would you give to engineering and architectural firms to help them be more comfortable in starting using new technologies to improve their business?<\/h3>\n

Kevin Lea: However hard we try to take the pain out of designing in a digital world, there is a certain amount of knowledge and skills required to maximise the return on any investments. Software is naturally becoming more involved as we use computers, not only to create traditional drawings but also to build prototypes of our projects in the computer memory.<\/p>\n

Investing the time to understand both capabilities and limitations is time well spent and ensures the chosen solution addresses not just today\u2019s requirements, but your future needs as well. After all, the cost of change can be greater that the investment. The best approach is to find a vendor you trust and who will support you on your technology journey, both in terms of software functionality and as an adviser as new technologies emerge.<\/p>\n

Detlef Schneider: ALLPLAN aims to be the trusted partner to service our client\u2019s technology needs both now and in the future. With adoption of digital processes, we are well placed to support the AEC industry around the globe and look forward to helping our clients to realise the full potential digital workflows offer.<\/p>\n
