BIM Models in Building Management: Benefits and Implementation

When we talk about the future of building management, it's almost impossible to ignore the BIM model. Building Information Modeling is not just a buzzword, but a revolution in digital construction planning that fundamentally changes the way we design, build, and manage buildings. But what exactly is hidden behind these three letters? BIM models are digital representations of the physical and functional characteristics of a structure. They combine geometric data with relevant information [...].

Integration of Low-Code/No-Code into IT Infrastructures

Low-code/No-code is an innovative development method in software creation. This method enables the development of applications with minimal or no programming. Low-code development uses visual development tools that allow users to create applications by assembling pre-built components. No-code development goes a step further, enabling individuals without technical expertise to create applications using predefined templates and visual tools. In recent years, the low-code/no-code movement has gained significant importance
