It has been close to three years that Autodesk launched its cloud initiative called Autodesk 360 to serve as the umbrella for all its cloud-based services, (not just for AEC but for the MCAD and the M&E industries as well). The platform also has a project management and collaboration tool at its front end, which until now, was available as a technology preview, free for anyone to try out. Last week, Autodesk launched the commercial release of its cloud offering, now called A360. This article explores the interface and functionality of the rebranded product—the platform as well as the tool—and looks at how it compares to other cloud-based project management and collaboration solutions in AEC.
