Interoperability

Geospatial solutions are rarely used individually.  Data comes in and goes out for users in various formats, this is termed "interoperability" and allows different systems to utilize the data regardless of its origins.  This section of articles discusses how to connect to CAD, GIS, tabular data, Spreadsheet statistics, databases (relational or spatial), and a variety of other data formats, to be used within the Bentley Map and associated software platforms.
