SAN RAFAEL, Calif.,
May 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) today announced powerful
new integration capabilities for Autodesk Construction
Cloud with the release of a new integration platform Autodesk
Construction Cloud Connect and an expansion of its partner
ecosystem. Autodesk added several new APIs enabling custom
connections for BIM 360® and PlanGrid®, and 15 new native
integrations, bringing the total number of direct integrations in
the Autodesk Construction Cloud ecosystem up to over 140. Project
teams can now more easily build custom integrations and
streamline data across workflows – from design to planning,
building and operations – so they can increase efficiency and
productivity.
Autodesk Construction Cloud Connect facilitates
out-of-the-box integrations
Autodesk Construction Cloud
Connect (ACC Connect), an evolution of PlanGrid Connect, is an
intuitive, ready-to-use integration platform that allows customers
to create flexible integrations without writing code. Powered by
Workato, ACC Connect supports integrations for Assemble, BIM 360,
BuildingConnected and PlanGrid. Customers can connect their
Autodesk Construction Cloud products to automate continuous or
scheduled data flows with a wide range of SaaS applications
including Box, Smartsheet, DocuSign, and QuickBooks Online.
Autodesk Construction Cloud customers can collaborate on
workflows across the building lifecycle, and they may turn to point
solutions for specific activities such as file sharing, expense
management and time tracking. Instead of dedicating software
development resources, which can be costly and challenging to find,
to build custom integrations between Autodesk products and these
specialized solutions, customers can now rely on ACC Connect to
easily configure their own integrations.
"Transferring data between the applications we use and those
used by our clients and subcontractor partners can often be a
complex, expensive, and error-prone process," said Blaine Crawford, director of information
technology, C.W. Driver. "ACC Connect lets us easily build custom
integrations between the solutions used across each of our project
teams and workflows so we can streamline our data management, spend
more time on project-critical tasks and ultimately drive more
productivity."
New APIs and native integrations provide direct connections
to ACC products
Autodesk's newest APIs also allow both
customers and partners to build bidirectional custom integrations
with BIM 360 and PlanGrid. Permissions APIs for BIM 360 can
automatically ensure collaborators only can access specific
project information, and Cost Management APIs allow
connections with specialized accounting tools. Partners can
leverage PlanGrid's new Advanced RFI, Submittals and Custom
Forms APIs to populate and extract data so customers always
see the latest information, regardless of which integrated
application they access.
The ecosystem of partners taking advantage of APIs for direct
integration to Autodesk Construction Cloud products has also
expanded with 15 new additions. The new integrations simplify data
management for processes ranging from material tracking to
identifying components of a build that can be prefabricated.
Customers using BIM 360 can now leverage integrations with Agile
Handover, Contecht, Matterport, MSuite, Plannerly, Reconstruct,
Shedmate, SignNow; customers using PlanGrid can now leverage
integrations with DataStreet, Extracker, FACS,
ProjectMates and Zters. Both BIM 360 and PlanGrid now
integrate with Allegion Overtur and StructionSite as
well.
"The construction industry is increasingly adopting model-driven
collaboration across the project lifecycle," says Britton Langdon, president of MSUITE. "Autodesk
is uniquely positioned to provide strong integrations with design
files and integrating with Autodesk Construction Cloud enables
us to provide our customers the strongest access to their design
data throughout preconstruction, fabrication and site construction
workflows."
"Construction projects today involve multiple technology
applications serving various team members and workflows," said
Angi Izzi, director of partnerships
for Autodesk Construction Solutions. "When those applications can't
talk to each other and data becomes siloed, productivity is
compromised across workflows. The expansion of our integration
capabilities underscores our commitment to driving construction
productivity and empowering the industry to collaborate with deeper
connections to technologies and teams."
