The business division will be run parallel to existing operations and include services based on the cloud solution BIMobject ® Hercules. Its target group consists of international property owners and facility managers in private and public sectors.
Michael Thydell is leaving his position of internationally recognised BIM-strategist at Sweco AB to become head of the new business division at BIMobject.

He is one of the most experienced experts in Europe on the development of advanced CAD/BIM-solutions and methods for the construction and property industry.
Michael Thydell will lead the new business division with the aim of clarifying and strengthening the value of BIM from a digital life cycle perspective. By utilising and developing the information that already exists in the digital models and BIM objects from the planning stages, BIMobject will be able to offer the market digital services for facility management and business development. The solutions will include the open, cloud-based platform BIMobject ® Cloud and the private cloud platform BIMobject ® Hercules. The platforms provide high-quality information for Big Data analyses with the aid of Microsoft Power BI.

The new business division will be run parallel to the core business of BIMobject, which consists of providing services to building product manufacturers. Under Michael Thydell's management, the business division will be run by a team of experts with thorough experience of the construction industry.
"There is fantastic potential in digitalising the property sector. The vital factors have all come together: Technical requirements have advanced far enough, and the number of BIM users has exploded. Within this new business division, we'll be able to create significant and often unexpected added value for our customers by providing a platform where all of the market players can meet. Coming together like that is a win-win-situation for everyone involved" , says Michael Thydell, Business Area Manager at BIMobject.

The user base consists primarily of architects, designers, and engineers, who access the BIMobject ® Cloud through CAD/BIM-applications, apps, and web services. The BIM objects are integrated into a detailed model of the building, which increases the chance that the real products will be selected for purchase.
