SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ:
TRMB) announced today that its Trimble® Connect™
cloud-based collaboration platform has surpassed 10 million users.
In response to COVID-19, distributed working has intensified the
need for teams to share information and collaborate remotely,
leading 1.2 million users to join Trimble Connect in March and
April alone. To date, Trimble Connect has hosted more than 80,000
design and construction projects, making it possible for people to
collaborate and work together from anywhere in the world.
Trimble Connect is an open collaboration platform for design and
construction that connects project stakeholders with the data they
need to inform decisions and improve team efficiency. Project
stakeholders can share, review, coordinate and comment on data-rich
constructible models, schedules and critical project information in
real time—reducing costly miscommunication and improving
coordination to keep projects on time and on budget.
In addition to adding new users, the activity on Trimble Connect
has shown a considerable increase in collaboration for businesses
in the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry.
The number of invitations to collaborate on projects increased 58
percent in April over the previous month, indicating that users are
adjusting to new remote and distributed working dynamics and
enabling teams to stay resilient, despite interruptions to their
traditional daily routines.
"This is an exciting milestone for Trimble Connect," said
Ray Bagley, business area director
for Trimble Connect. "Businesses in the AEC industry need an open,
common data environment that allows project stakeholders to unlock
the real value of building information modeling (BIM), civil
construction and geospatial data. The increased adoption of Trimble
Connect in recent months shows us that businesses need reliable,
open collaboration more than ever before."
Trimble Connect's open API enables data-flow to and from a
variety of applications and allows users to customize workflows by
integrating with existing enterprise solutions. Users can access
project files stored on Trimble Connect directly through a wide
range of solutions, including Tekla® Structures
software, Trimble Access™ field software, Trimble FieldLink™ layout
software, SketchUp® 3D modeling software and
ProjectSight™ construction management software as well as
third-party applications.
