Online Interactive's RealSpace VFM™ (Virtual Facilities Management) platform presents a new approach to solving the complex problems inherent in BIM and spatial data management. Defined by the AIA as ‘a model-based technology linked with a database of project information’, BIM’s real promise relies upon robust interoperability of design and engineering data as well as advanced collaboration abilities and tight integration with drawing, procurement, environmental, and decision-making tools and processes. As more and more industry realizes the powerful potential of a well-crafted BIM workflow, traditional design and construction methods are being supplanted by a focus on using readily-available and accurate ‘virtual’ asset information to make more informed decisions - decisions that reduce cost and waste, increase safety and productivity, and improve schedule savings – all positively impacting the enterprise’s bottom line.

RealSpace VFM™ ushers in a new era in the AEC industry’s lifecycle management efforts by providing comprehensive BIM abilities to multi-disciplinary project teams via the SaaS (Software as a Service) delivery model. The RealSpace platform is designed to have minimal impact on existing work processes and tools by tightly integrating value-added BIM functions with the enterprise’s existing in-house software, workflows, and business models. With the digital ‘virtual facility’ at the heart of RealSpace, users can perform a variety of engineering, construction, business and general maintenance functions from the comfort of their own chair while feeling safe that other stakeholders have real-time access to every critical byte of information – no matter their physical location or business role.

In addition to RealSpace VFM™, Online Interactive is currently developing solutions for collaborative management, review and visualization of CAD data in the mechanical design and creative content (film, tv and games) industries. Please visit our 'products' page for more information.
