Associated Engineering ’ s Collaboration Platform What Is Teammate?

The Challenge: Traditionally, files are shuttled across our network, resulting in large volumes of data being distributed from one office to another. Certain data types (related to BIM, GIS, LiDAR, satellite imagery, and others) compound the issue, forcing staff to cope with performance issues or develop risky “ workarounds ” when working across offices. How Does TeammateWork: Teammate enables staff from across our offices to access centralized virtual Windows desktops and software independently of the machine they are actually working on, and from any device anywhere with an internet connection.

What Benefits will Teammate provide to the Project?

Teammate significantly improves the collaboration experience for the project team, by providing a solution for situations where projects involve multi - office collaboration. Teammate centralizes all project data, applications and the project teammachines in Edmonton, through virtualization, optimizing the performance experience. for all teammembers outside of the Edmonton office. Software applications (i.e. Civil 3D, Revit, ArcGIS, etc.) are hosted on a centralized server, and the Teammate platform virtualizes computers and programs from the server to a user ’ s (or target) machine. Only mouse clicks, keyboard strokes, and user input are delivered to the server, creating a seamless end - user experience.

All the processing takes place on this powerful server - which provides distributed project teams with an experience similar to working locally.
