Digital Blueprinting and BIM: Streamlining Technology Processes to Ensure Efficiency

Building Information Modeling, (ˈbil-diŋ ˌin-fər-ˈmā-shən ˈmä-də-iŋ), noun. 1. System for creation and management of the functional and physical pieces of a place.

What is BIM?

Companies are moving away from the traditional 2D blueprint in favor of BIM for its greater efficiency and collaboration capabilities

that streamline the building design process.

BIM represents a new era of collaboration between engineers, architects, and contractors. The 3D model provides the most accurate projections

featuring everything from chairs to air ducts.

This is what a completed building looks like, cluttered and hard to interpret. Many companies have digital infrastructure as complicated if not more so.

What is Digital Blueprinting?

Digital Blueprinting, (ˈdi-jə-təl ˈblü-print-iŋ), noun. 1. Clear graphic visualization of the current state of the technology layers in your company

Software & applications

sit within devices

Devices sit on

networks

Like buildings, all companies are comprised of layers. Critical business data flows among all of these technology nodes.

Digital Blueprinting is the BIM of technology.

Networks sit on

servers or in the cloud

Much like BIM, FPOV has a Digital Blueprinting service that reveals those hidden, undocumented and not well understood layers and components. Our method puts them into a clear Visual Language which will serve as a Rosetta Stone between business and IT.

In this regard our Digital Blueprints are no different than BIM for buildings or homes which allow the architect, the builder, the various subcontractors and the owner to have a common visual representation of what is being designed and built.

FPOV's Digital Blueprinting sheds a clear and accessible light on these critical business assets and creates a common visual language that can help to bridge the gap between business folks and technology folks when they are discussing and making big, expensive and important decisions.

Digital Blueprinting • Allows business to see what it normally cannot but should see. • Memorializes critical business/technology information that likely exists solely in one or two people’s minds and reduces risk of loss. • Streamlines on-boarding of new hires and vendors. • Identifies problems in current and planned future state.

BIM has revolutionized collaboration and processing in the construction industry. Digital Blueprinting can do the same for

any company’s technology infrastructure.
