Partners

BIM, interoperability and the need to seamlessly integrate data from one software package to another are more critical than ever. That's what the Interoperability Network (IN) is all about. IN is more than just talking about interoperability — it's working together to take a project from one software to another, while preserving data integrity throughout the process. From engineering and 3D modeling to CNC and MRP software, IN partners are working together to achieve true interoperability.
