60+ File Formats

BIM 360 | Integration Today with Forge• Pull and push most any file out of and

into BIM 360

• Extract data from most CAD file types stored in BIM 360, pull into your system for analysis/processing, and as needed push back to BIM 360

•

• Extend your existing Revit or AutoCAD add-in to automatically pull from or save information directly to BIM 360.

• Add easy access to files in BIM 360 –including Viewing and metadata – to your app

• Development

• SSDLC

• Resiliency Patterns

• Deployment

• Systems Hardening

• Pen Testing (3rd Parties)

• Ongoing Scanning

• 24x7 Monitoring

• Response

• Identification, Threat Modeling, Transparency

• Audit

• SSAE-16 AT 101 SOC 2 & ISO27001

• Data Privacy

• GDPR
