Autodesk Announces U-Vis 360 Core Platform
Integrates building design, manufacturing, mapping, and infrastructure data and
displays in a visualization environment
 SAN RAFAEL, CA, Oct 19, 2007 -
Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) today announced the Autodesk U-Vis 360 Core, a
new solution platform that integrates building design, manufacturing,
mapping, and infrastructure data and displays it in a single visualization
environment. Specifically tailored for federal and state and local
governments, solutions built on the U-Vis 360 platform provide a complete
and highly accurate 360-degree inside-outside-under view of any structure or
urban environment with an easy-to-use interface.
Under view of Autodesk's U-Vis 360 solutions platform. U-Vis 360 provides a
complete and highly accurate 360-degree inside-outside-under view of any
structure or urban environment.
The U-Vis platform integrates 'smart' engineering data, filters it
according to specific task and then applies the appropriate interface --
either a 2D web or a 3D game engine. The result is that non-technical users
at all levels of federal and state and local governments can more easily
integrate, visualize and experience complete precision information and data
about an urban setting or structure in a digital environment-giving them
immediate access and allowing them to make critical decisions more quickly
and easily.
"U-Vis 360 provides an end-to-end solution our state and local and
federal government customers have been asking for-an open-architecture,
user-friendly platform that lets our customers visualize and access every
aspect of their urban structures and cities before they take action," said
Bill Goodson, vice president, government sales, Autodesk. "With U-Vis 360,
our customers can incorporate data and easily extend their current workflows
throughout the entire process--from design to implementation and then out to
delivery of applications most important to them: analysis, training and
response. U-Vis 360 ultimately lets our customers make more informed
decisions so they can reduce costs and protect present and future
investments."
"For over 25 years, Autodesk has been a leader in providing software that
helps people design, build and manage everything from traffic lights to
highways and skyscrapers. Information about this infrastructure is
critically important, but, to date, has been scattered around different
systems. With U-Vis 360, Autodesk is introducing an important visual
decision management tool that will allow governments to pull this
information together and organize it visually by location," said David
Sonnen, senior consultant at International Data Corporation. "U-Vis 360
provides a consistent structure for governments to access a wide variety of
visual information so they can make better decisions-and save time and money
in the process."
While the U-Vis 360 platform was first created to support the needs of
defense and intelligence agencies, the widespread capabilities captured in a
U-Vis 360 solution set have proven valuable in a wide variety of
applications for federal and state and local governments -- including
emergency response, urban planning, campus security and management, and
facilities management.
U-Vis 360 enables users to incorporate existing data from
commercial-off-the-shelf software, such as computer-aided design (CAD),
geospatial information (GIS), building information modeling (BIM) and
databases, to create complete and accurate urban environments for customers'
business application and analysis needs. The U-Vis 360 Core supports the
development of multiple solutions from the same sets of source data for both
technical and professional users. At their fingertips, users from any level
in the organization can find the top-line information they require to make
quick and informed decisions, while technical users can still retain easy
access to precision engineering data.
"By leveraging existing data customers already have stored in various
software types, we are able to quickly create a precise and comprehensive 2D
or 3D visual data integration solution containing that specific data," said
Juliana Slye, director of Autodesk Government. "The U-Vis 360 family of
solutions delivers cost-effective applications for decision-makers who
require collaboration across the enterprise and need a complete
inside-outside-under view of any structure."
Partners and Availability
Autodesk is working jointly with a number of its partners to deliver
customized, powerful solutions based on the U-Vis 360 platform to
specialized government markets and agencies. Several of these solutions are
available today. To further Autodesk's open platform approach, Autodesk is
also working with its partners to develop a software development kit (SDK)
and an application programming interface (API).
