Following the successful 2022 financial year, in 2023 the Nemetschek Group, a globally leading software provider for digital transformation in the construction and media industries, is laying decisive foundations in order to continue to achieve dynamic double-digit revenue growth rates and high profitability in the future. The ongoing transition of the business model from selling perpetual Licenses to Subscriptions & SaaS will be accelerated in 2023 – particularly through the transition initiated at the Bluebeam brand. Despite the associated short-term dampening effect on revenue development and profitability and the currently changed economic environment, the Nemetschek Group expects attractive growth in 2023. Strong acceleration of growth momentum is expected again from 2024 onwards. “By driving the transition to Subscription-based and SaaS models this year, we are making it possible to generate significantly higher revenues per user and create a higher customer lifetime value in the medium and long term,” said Yves Padrines, CEO

Connecting our customers’ tools, processes, and people is critical for helping them to get more value out of their Building Information Modeling (BIM) data. This not only helps realize better ways of working; it also produces better outcomes for business and the built environment. BIM is the foundation of digital transformation in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. That’s why we’re so intently focused on building an AEC cloud information model that makes project data available to the right people at the right time with insights that deliver competitive advantage. But as we strive toward fulfilling our industry cloud vision, we’re also doing everything we can to meet the demands of our building design customers here and now. That’s why I’m so excited to share that Autodesk has signed a definitive agreement to acquire UNIFI, an essential cloud software solution for organizing, accessing, and managing content in Revit, Civil 3D, Plant 3D and other digital design tools. Currently, coordinating content across multiple projects is

We are excited to announce that Applied Intuition has acquired SceneBox, a data management and operations platform built specifically for machine learning (ML). The core team of Caliber Data Labs, the creator of SceneBox, will join the Applied team.‍ The SceneBox platform enables engineers to train better, more accurate ML models with a data-centric approach. To successfully train production-grade ML models, teams rely heavily on high-quality datasets. When working with enormous unstructured data, finding the right datasets can be difficult, time-consuming, and costly. SceneBox lets engineers explore, curate, and compare datasets rapidly, diagnose problems, and orchestrate complex data operations. The platform offers a rich web interface, extensive APIs, and advanced features such as embedding-based search.‍ “We are thrilled to welcome Yaser and the SceneBox team to Applied,” said Qasar Younis, Co-Founder and CEO of Applied Intuition. “When we learned of Yaser’s vision and our complementary product strategies, we immediately wanted to join forces.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire OpsRamp, an IT operations management (ITOM) company that monitors, observes, automates and manages IT infrastructure, cloud resources, workloads and applications for hybrid and multi-cloud environments, including the leading hyperscalers.
