With no warning from either side comes the bizarre news that Autodesk, specifically the infrastrucure/BIM part is hooking up with Pitney Bowes "to help infrastructure owners and architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) organizations make more informed decisions and drive greater efficiencies across the plan, design, build, manage lifecycle of infrastructure."

The opening session at the first Hexagon conference that combines the newly combined divisions of Intergraph's Process, Power and Marine (PPM), Security, Government and Infrastructure (SG&I), and Hexagon Geosystems, and Metrology got off to rousing start with an impressive intro video. CEO Ola Rollѐn (photo at right) gave an upbeat presentation that discussed how technology can support a growing world population and the demands placed on the infrastructure of our cities and power plants. Rollѐn then introduced each division's president to drill down on customer successes. Norbert Hanke reviewed Hexagon Metrology with examples of using measurement technology in manufacturing that supports the use of new composite materials in Boeing Dreamliner; Jürgon Dold discussed the Hexagon Geosystems and using "extreme engineering above and below ground"; Gehard Salinger, president of PPM discussed using best of class solutions in providing energy and raw materials for plant design; and finally John Graham of SG&I provided an overview of how Intergraph responded to recent natural disasters such as the earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand, the floods in Rio de Janero, and the tornados of North Alabama that directly impacted employees of the company.
