The Efficiency of BIM for Bridges

July 26, 2019

In 2007, officials announced plans to design and build a bridge across the Tamina Valley in the Swiss Alps. The existing road into the valley was badly in need of repair, as it was often damaged by landslides from the surrounding mountains. The chief civil engineer in the area determined that building a bridge over the valley would be less expensive and safer in the long term than making constant repairs to the roadway at the bottom.

THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY EMBRACES CLOUD-NATIVE ENGINEERING

whitePaper | February 24, 2022

Cloud-native engineering empowers organizations to design and develop scalable, agile, cost-effective applications and run them in dynamic environments such as on-premises or in public, private, or hybrid clouds. A cloud-native application consists of microservices working together in an application that can be scaled easily. These microservices are often packaged in code along with libraries and dependencies to run anywhere. In a cloud-native app, the application code is designed, built, and delivered very differently than it would be for conventional, monolithic apps. Cloud-native engineering enables loosely coupled systems that are resilient, manageable, and observable to be combined with robust automation, allowing engineers to make changes frequently.
