Medway Council implemented a virtual desktop solution using Citrix XenDesktop to drive efficiency savings across the organization. The solution reduced energy consumption by 24% and is projected to save £1 million over five years. It has enabled agile working styles by allowing users to access their desktops remotely, consolidated real estate needs by 30%, and improved data security by centralizing applications and data. The project is rolling out to 2,800 desktops over the next year and will then address mobile needs with XenMobile.

This document proposes a methodology for implementing BIM concepts for existing federal facilities to improve facility management. The methodology involves 4 steps: 1) Diagramming existing data flows, 2) Designing a web portal interface, 3) Developing an integration hub to connect different systems, and 4) Developing a BIM application. The goal is to integrate facility information from various systems into a shared knowledge resource without replacing existing systems.
Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs BIMStorm Lifecycle Mike Bordenaro
A minute-by-minute look at the ground breaking work with Building Information Models being conducted by the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs. They have a total of 210 million square feet of space around the world and are using BIM web services to improve quality and reduce costs.
The document discusses the convergence of building information modeling (BIM) and geospatial technologies. It notes that as BIM is used for infrastructure management over the entire asset lifecycle, geospatial data will become increasingly important. However, the geospatial and BIM industries have traditionally operated separately. Going forward, there are opportunities to take the best aspects of both approaches to improve asset performance management. The convergence of BIM, geospatial data, and other sources of "big data" will enable more comprehensive predictive analytics. This will influence how infrastructure is designed, built, and able to adapt over time in response to changing conditions. Open standards bodies are working to develop converged standards to help make sense of the large amounts of sensor data that

This document provides an introduction to Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the construction industry. It discusses how BIM is becoming a standard collaboration process that provides owners and managers with robust information across the entire lifecycle of construction projects. The document outlines the history and development of BIM, from its origins in the 1960s to its current uses. It also identifies some common BIM authoring tools used for architectural, structural, and mechanical/electrical/plumbing modeling.
The document discusses the benefits of BIM (Building Information Modeling) and who can benefit from its implementation. It states that BIM can benefit all participants in the construction process if used as a philosophy rather than just a program or tool. It also discusses how studies have found that BIM can reduce costs, save time, and lower waste. The document provides several quotes about BIM from industry professionals, with many emphasizing its potential to improve collaboration between teams. It concludes with a quote stating that BIM was created to solve problems with CAD but using it like CAD can increase rather than solve problems.

HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAUpanagenda
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

“I believe that FM are still getting to grips with BIM they have been
a bit bamboozled by the techies on this and cannot see the woods
through the trees.
That‟s why Government Soft Landings is so important as this is the
process that really interlinks with BIM for FM”

“Awareness, Acceptance, Action…For FM I believe we are still firmly in
the awareness phase, and there is lots of work still to be done to reach a
full level of awareness of the potential benefits”
“various industry bodies and especially the BIM4FM group need to focus
on raising awareness.”
“The other thing that I think may be holding us back is the lack of
standards and standardisation within the FM industry”

The BIM agenda will only gain greater ground if
FM professionals need convincing of the cost and service benefits
Key message of the benefits of alignments between design &
construction to the building end users.
Greater long term strategic visioning of lifecycle/asset
management & less focus on the data to day issues.
System integration to existing (& utilised!) CAFM systems.
The fact, there is no alternative!
