Dallas (July 31, 2023) — AECOM, the world’s trusted infrastructure consulting firm, announced today that Digital AECOM’s PlanEngage™ is now powered by Esri ArcGIS Online software. Esri is the global market leader in geographic information system (GIS) software.
PlanEngage is an interactive cloud-based platform that streamlines the planning and stakeholder engagement process throughout the project lifecycle by communicating complex information in an easily accessible digital format. Thanks to the integration with ArcGIS Online, infrastructure owners, engineers and design professionals can now create and explore dynamic digital twins of real-world locations in the PlanEngage platform using real-time spatial data, 3D models, sensors, satellite imagery, and more.
“Integration with ArcGIS Online represents the latest advancement in our innovative PlanEngage platform. It unlocks the ability to communicate even the most technical project information and bring it to life through immersive digital twins — elevating understanding among stakeholders and enabling more informed decision-making,” said Colette Munro, AECOM’s chief digital officer. “We look forward to continuing our long-standing Partner Network relationship with Esri, focused on delivering best-in-class digital solutions to the AEC industry.”
The PlanEngage platform enables project teams to collaboratively create, edit, and publish highly visual and interactive information, including multi-media, 360-degree photos, visualizations, project dashboards, and more. Mobile-friendly communication tools allow community members to review local projects from multiple devices at any time, facilitating deeper engagement and more informed consent. Easy to navigate and simple to use, PlanEngage also enables transparency among stakeholders and helps speed up review cycles. This can eliminate unnecessary delays and ensure project milestones are met on time and on budget, while supporting better social, economic, and environmental outcomes.
