Los Angeles Business Journal - Front Page Article on ONUMA
- The week of Dec. 3-9, 2008 edition feature article
spotlights
ONUMA's achievements in the use of web based BIM to achieve higher
efficiency and accuracy in the design process.
- Designing a Museum in Minutes Instead of
Months as published originally in the Los Angeles Business
Journal.
- The article defines what is possible today using open
standards an integrated process and the web. It focuses on one part of
the process to illustrate how this can radically shift time and
accuracy of decisions.

AIA
Technology in Architectural Practice BIM Award - Capability Maturity
Model
- ONUMA Inc. was awarded two AIA TAP BIM Awards in 2007
- The Capability Maturity Model (CMM) rating of the ONUMA
entries were rated at "Gold" and "Platinum" with scores of 85.7 and
95.5 as reported in AECbytes
- The CMM measures multiple aspects of the BIM for practices
and process
- Although it is not intended to be used to "score" one BIM
against another it is a valuable tool to measure the goals of
supporting higher levels of use of BIM. ONUMA focuses on how much to
extend the value of data in the BIM through the use of open and
interoperable standards. This is reflected in the two projects for
ONUMA having a very high rating including the only project to have a
"Platinum" rating.
- ONUMA believes that in order to achieve true
interoperability and support "Integrated Practice" as defined by the
AIA, a high CMM and the use of open standards is a neccessity.
