A Common Data Environment, or CDE for short, is a virtual place where all information about a particular project is collected, maintained and managed. It is also the place from which it is made available among all relevant stakeholders.
This may involve graphical models and documents, but also non-graphical data. With open standards, you streamline the work, ensure optimal use of BIM, avoid confusion, exchange data smoothly and find project information easily.
With the Catenda Hub product, non-BIM users have instant and easy online access to their project. "The accessibility and ease of use allows not only people like me to look at it, but also our customers to work with it," explains Daan Arts of JaJo.
The main criteria for their successful choice were openness and people. "We were looking for a company that had the same vision as us: to be open, to use open standards, to be open in general." .
After 3 years of implementation and more than 100 projects, the lesson learned is, "Keep it simple. This brings us back to our vision "We create satisfied users," by not changing their processes, by giving them user-friendly tools so they have an advantage today, Daan explains.
The fact that Catenda Hub has logical ways of working helps in implementing Catenda Hub in projects because the platform focuses on the basics. As a result, the average implementation time of Catena Hub from the first project with a new customer is only 4 hours.
Important is the fact that anyone can use it. No matter what company the clients are from, they can click a button and show what their future building or infra project will look like. In Catenda Hub (formerly Bimsync) you can view models, pointclouds, documents, topics. And they are all connected to each other. This allows you to create topics on documents, pointclouds and models. Documents can also be linked back to a 3D object.
