Course Information
A digital twin is a realistic and dynamic digital representation of a physical asset, process or system in the built or natural environment. A digital twin gives you the digital context and visibility to analyze the past, monitor the present and predict future behavior to improve decisions and optimize results.

Why digital twins? Digital twins allow you to make data accessible and actionable to create the visibility and insights that make infrastructure sustainable and resilient, and better serve stakeholders. Some of the benefits of using digital twin technology include:

• Reducing the cost and time of delivering projects and managing assets

• Improving the level and quality of services delivered internally and externally

• Reducing the risk associated with assets as well as the liability resulting from asset failures

• Meeting your sustainability goals
