THE UNIFI DIFFERENCE – TESTIMONIALS
See what others have to say about UNIFI and how it solved their content management issues.
UNIFI CONNECT for Manufacturers
Share your manufacturer content with some of the biggest AEC firms in the world with UNIFI CONNECT.
The most convenient way to access and distribute high-quality manufacturer BIM content.
- Transferring large content libraries to BIM managers for review presents its own set of challenges. Libraries can be too large for email, access to drop box is often restricted by IT departments, use of external USB sticks is typically banned outright for cyber security concerns.
- UNIFI CONNECT delivers manufacturer content via our cloud based platform directly to the manufacturer library section of the firm’s internal library for super easy access.
- UNIFI CONNECT is a cloud-based manufacturer content library that connects manufacturer content with AEC BIM Managers through our content management solution UNIFI PRO.
- Manufacturer libraries are positioned just 1 click away from the internal content libraries of some of the worlds largest architectural and engineering firms.
- UNIFI makes it easier for BIM managers to discover, review, update and adopt manufacturer content into their internal libraries.
h2. Why is UNIFI the Right Answer?
CONVENIENCE MATTERS
- The process of adopting manufacturer content takes time and effort* to implement it into a firm’s internal content library. UNIFI CONNECT makes this process faster and easier for both the manufacturer and library manager.
GETTING CONTENT TO THE RIGHT PERSON
- BIM managers and library managers are internal staff who will ultimately approve and adopt manufacturer content for firm use.
- UNIFI CONNECT provides a direct connection from manufacturer to BIM Manager
GETTING ACCESS TO CONTENT FOR REVIEW
- Transferring large content libraries to BIM managers for review present its own set of challenges. Libraries can be too big to email, access to drop-boxes restricted by IT departments and the use of external USB sticks banned outright for cyber security purposes.
- UNIFI CONNECT delivers manufacture content through our cloud-based platform directly to the manufacturer library section of the firm’s internal library for super easy access.
HIGH QUALITY CONTENT STREAMLINES ADOPTION
- Poorly designed BIM content causes huge problems for design firms including design program and model crashes.
- BIM managers need to review all content for quality to prevent manufacture content from wreaking havoc on the design process prior to adoption. If the content is of poor quality it means more work for the BIM manager prior to adoption.
- Much of the manufacturer content available outside of UNIFI CONNECT often fails the quality test, falling far below the quality threshold of the average firm.
- All manufacturer content on UNIFI CONNECT is audited for quality to ensure the content requires minimal effort to update prior to being added to a firms internal library.
