Revit Server and Project Bluestreak have been available through Autodesk Subscription Advantage Pack or Autodesk Labs for a while now. The exciting new tool is Citrix Ready Application. The benefits seem to include:
- Ability to have people work on independent hardware easier (MAC OS and Windows).
- Work remotely (this is great for co-located teams) or telecommuters. Many firms are now partnering in cities where there is only one person in that remote office.
- Less cost of hardware (since the computing power is elsewhere).
- Easier rollout of program applications to people who use software on a not regular basis.
Autodesk has used this technology before with Autodesk Map 3D.
