First up, is the reveal of iModel 2.0,which is a next-generation cloud platform for digital workflows in infrastructure projects. The second announcement is focused on the iModelHub cloud service, which is a change management and notification service. iModelHub logs all project changes on a timeline, and then notifies project participants based on their ProjectWise workflow configuration.
