Autodesk Collaboration
Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Manufacturing Collaboration Systems are essential for modern project delivery, enabling seamless integration across every stage from initial concept through to final production and handover. These powerful platforms bring together multidisciplinary teams, vast amounts of project data, and complex workflows into unified digital environments that break down traditional silos.
Autodesk collaboration tools connect your team, data, and workflows across design, engineering, construction, and manufacturing. From Autodesk Forma to Vault and Fusion, each solution ensures seamless data flow, coordinated project management, and improved efficiency whether you're working remotely or onsite. These systems support real-time updates, version control, automated notifications, and secure sharing, allowing stakeholders to make informed decisions faster while reducing errors, rework, and costly delays throughout the entire project lifecycle.
Design Consulting is an Autodesk Gold Partner and Service Provider, offering Autodesk Software with wide range of complimentary software, training courses and services for Autodesks Ecosystem.
Autodesk Forma
As Autodesk’s unified platform for construction collaboration, Autodesk Forma combines document management, design coordination, issue tracking, handover workflows, and field management that are all within a streamlined cloud environment. Forma replaces legacy BIM 360 products and delivers a modern, flexible foundation that connects project stakeholders from preconstruction through facility handover.
Forma Data Management
Centralise your project files with Forma Data Management to ensure version control, streamline reviews, and maintain a single source of truth across design and construction teams.
Forma Design Collaboration
Connect design teams with Forma Design Collaboration to coordinate models, manage changes in real time, and enable cloud-based Revit collaboration across disciplines.
Forma Build
Streamline field operations with Forma Build to manage RFIs, issues, schedules, and quality workflows while keeping office and site teams aligned.
Autodesk Collaboration for Manufacturing
Autodesk provides connected collaboration tools for manufacturing, bringing design data, engineering workflows, document management, product information and project teams together within a unified digital environment. Solutions including Fusion, Vault and Autodesk cloud services help manufacturers manage design changes, improve coordination, control engineering data and connect stakeholders from initial concept through design, manufacturing and production.
Autodesk Vault
Securely manage engineering data, CAD files, revisions and design processes with centralised PDM tools that connect teams and maintain control throughout product development.
Vault PLM
Connect Vault PDM with product lifecycle management to manage engineering data, change processes, BOMs, approvals and product workflows from design through manufacturing.
Vault Cloud
Extend Vault engineering data to the cloud, enabling secure access, collaboration and connected workflows while maintaining control of CAD files, versions and revisions.
Fusion
Integrated cloud platform combining CAD, CAM, CAE, electronics and manufacturing tools to design, engineer, simulate and manufacture products within one connected environment.
Fusion Teams
Centralise Fusion project data in a secure cloud workspace where teams can collaborate, share designs, manage versions, review changes and control access to project information.
Fusion Manage
Cloud-based PLM that connects people, processes and product data with configurable workflows for BOMs, change management, new product introduction, quality and collaboration.
