ePart 3: Focus on Technology: How do you ensure your organisation gets the most out of the BIM technology available? Dedicated to the main technology-related aspects of a BIM Manager’s role, this ePart explains how to establish and manage an organisation’s BIM-related tool-ecology and how to use BIM in order to link from design to fabrication. What do BIM Managers need to do in order ensure their teams use the right tools for the various tasks in design, construction and beyond? How do they connect them and how do they keep up with updates in this rapidly changing environment. This ePart highlights the challenges BIM Managers need to overcome in software, hardware and network selection. It also brings into focus the opportunities BIM Managers face in the changing context of BIM in the Cloud. Extending beyond technical know-how, it also offers advice on how to create a successful interface between the BIM Manager and the IT specialist(s).

It is only through continuous technological advances that current-day BIM has become possible. Technology is one of the most relevant, yet also the most transient aspects of BIM. The constant upgrading of software applications has an immediate impact on processes and information integration, often with far-reaching ramifications. By looking beyond short-term trends and innovations, though, this ePart effectively offers joined up insights into the management of ongoing developments in BIM technology.
Technological advances do not simply lead to a continuous and evenly paced transformation within our society. On the contrary, the impact of new technology occurs abruptly, and with highly disruptive consequences to previously established processes. The introduction of innovative technologies can prove a game-changer, with major follow-on effects for a broad range of issues in our professional lives. When it comes to BIM, this is exactly what we are going through at the moment.
The previous two eParts provided the foundations for Best Practice BIM and the need for BIM Managers to handle the Change Management associated with BIM implementation. This chapter tackles what BIM Managers ought to know about the technological aspects of their work: What is the desired interplay between Design Technology and Information Technology? What are the key considerations related to BIM hardware and software? How does one handle the delicate issue of software licensing? What are the options when it comes to networking BIM across multiple locations and moving BIM to the Cloud?
A significant amount of this ePart is dedicated to tool ecologies. With an ever-expanding list of applications feeding to and from lifecycle BIM, it is important for BIM Managers to understand the principles of information flow facilitated by dedicated software applications. How does one maximize effectiveness of BIM within typical project constraints and in accordance with capabilities of the project team? By tackling this issue strategically, BIM Managers play a pivotal role in mapping out information flows, facilitating interoperability across distinct applications that form part of a project's tool ecology. This chapter will gaze into the future to point at the technological developments BIM Managers are likely to face.

“I believe we have a great deal of success with IT here at FXFOWLE because our IT managers have an architectural and Design Technology background; they gradually moved into IT roles; they understand and are sensitive to what counts for us as designers in the way they set up our IT infrastructure.”
Alexandra Pollock, Director of Design Technology at FXFOWLE
Few project teams working with BIM on a day-to-day basis have the luxury of getting support from IT experts who have good insights into the nature of design, construction, operation, and project management. The relationship between Information Technology (IT) and Design Technology (DT) is often a delicate one.
