Ronald Baan, an independent data architect, gave a presentation on digital innovations and the cloud. He discussed how building information management (BIM) uses cloud computing and semantic modeling to improve collaboration between parties involved in infrastructure projects. Baan explained that moving project data to the cloud allows for better data sharing, but organizations must first semantically define all data structures. He also emphasized that a hybrid cloud approach provides more flexibility and agility than a solely centralized or decentralized system. In the end, Baan argued that adopting cloud technologies requires organizations to embrace digital transformation and have an "all digital" mindset.
