The Autodesk Developer Network Partner Success Story reveals how Ideate-developed Autodesk Revit product-based applications—Ideate Explorer for Revit and Ideate BIMLink—have become highly successful solutions that stem from customer pain points. Marketed worldwide directly, through partners and via Autodesk Exchange Apps, these tools address the ever-growing need to access and manage BIM data with ease, speed and precision.
Glynnis Patterson, Ideate Director of Software Development says, “We are helping customers identify and understand the hidden costs and loss of revenue due to process inefficiencies, while our solutions help customers eliminate bottlenecks, overcome workflow gaps and dramatically improve efficiencies. Tasks that once took days and hours take seconds. Costs drop substantially. Productivity climbs. The outcomes are gratifying.”
According to Jim Quanci, director of the Autodesk Developer Network, “The dedication to interoperability with Autodesk Revit makes Ideate a valued and trusted Autodesk Developer Network partner. Ideate consistently delivers comprehensive, easy-to-use applications to our AEC customers so they can maximize productivity and efficiency, and extend the power of their Autodesk software.”
Bob Palioca, President, Ideate Inc., says of the Autodesk Developer Network partnership, “We were BIM and Autodesk Developer Network pioneers. Being a member of ADN is a robust and strategic relationship. We find it’s important to be informed about upcoming functionality and to get the tools and technical assistance for early application development. It is one important way we enhance our customers’ workflows and contribute to their success.”
