Software strategy: BIM comparison: how does BIM software stack up with the 3D model concept?

CADalyst, Jan, 2005 by H. Edward Goldberg

Most importantly, recognize that choosing to implement BIM is a strategic decision. BIM software is the direction for the future and can add to your bottom line through increased profits and ROI, but only if you choose a solution that meshes with your needs.

Have an open mind, ask the hard questions and dig deep--a slick demo shouldn't determine the winner. No matter what you choose, it will be a big change, so don't choose the book by its cover.
