By integrating BIM 360 with Microsoft Office 365, users will now be able to open Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents directly within the BIM 360 application, but they will also be able to create, edit, and distribute documents within the app, as well. For those users not currently using Office 365, you will still have the ability to view the documents, but not edit.

Having to download a document from the cloud, edit it, and then re-upload is a serious annoyance and waste of time for anyone on a construction team. Not only will this integration save wasted time, it will also allow for better version control and track updates, make sure team members are using then most up-to-date documents, and allow better collaboration.
