AVEVA’s BIM Approach information standard
We appreciate BIM isn’t just software and some
vendors are to blame for perpetuating that myth. Data requirements, and the resulting data management

aims to support through the use of our technology, information requirements can be complex and can
technology that has been tried and tested in capital change over the lifecycle of the asset which begs the
intensive markets. AVEVA has a refreshing approach question; if you don’t have control of the information
to BIM, we believe in taking a true data centric standard or as the energy industry describe, a class
solution rather than a 3D or document centric library, how can you control the information? People
