The Time to Standardize Digital Design Delivery is Now

With evolving sustainability requirements, talent and skill shortages across the sector, and greater client demands, infrastructure project design and delivery have never been more complex and challenging for today’s engineering consulting and service firms. A critical approach to overcoming these issues is standardizing engineering design review processes and technologies.
In this podcast, we talk to Dan Cutler, Project Engineer with Bentley Systems, about how ProjectWise, powered by iTwin, can standardize engineering work in progress using scalable and customizable workflows without limiting the number of projects an organization can manage and without having to start over with new CAD applications. We also discuss how ProjectWise can help engineering consulting and service firms comply with ISO19650 standards.
