Autodesk Vault Collaboration AEC

In the last few months, Autodesk has added to its highly successful Vault product line with the release of its Autodesk Vault Collaboration AEC product. Previous versions of Vault have had support for the Autodesk line of AEC software including Revit, Civil 3D and AutoCAD Architecture. Vault Collaboration AEC greatly enhances the existing AEC product integrations, adds new integrations, and brings with it a host of other features and capabilities designed to benefit AEC firms and users of Autodesk AEC products.

Below are some of the highlights of the product:

·   In addition to the CAD applications listed above, Vault Collaboration AEC also now fully supports AutoCAD MEP, Plant 3D and Navisworks.

·   Full support for, and integration with, the Revit Server.

·   Integration and synchronization with Autodesk Buzzsaw - featuring the inclusion of Buzzsaw licenses with Vault subscription, automated synchronization between Vault and Buzzsaw folders, and the ability to make files in Vault available in the field via any Buzzsaw compatible mobile device.

·   Integration with Microsoft Sharepoint, which will allow direct access to files in Vault via Microsoft Sharepoint including federated searching capabilities so that a single Sharepoint search can return both Sharepoint and Vault files.

·   Multisite replication to enable firm-wide project collaboration and file sharing of all types of both CAD and non-CAD files

The features and capabilities of Vault Collaboration AEC enable the AEC firm to achieve some, or all, of the following company goals and benefits:

·   Better security and control over data access including configurable control based on user, group, role, data location and lifecycle state

·   A central location for all project data (including important project e-mails) so that mistakes and misuse of outdated revisions are eliminated and all company, project partner, and client personnel are kept on the same page.

·   The ability to capture and track project milestones and history including a full audit trail and the ability to seamlessly refer back to and access older revisions

·   Better control and sharing of standard content including Revit families and AutoCAD-based libraries and templates. All standard content can be searched for and retrieved from Vault so that all users at all company sites are using the same updated content.

·   Improved and more efficient use of human resources across all company offices via Vault’s multi-site replication. In addition, the replication will allow company principals immediate and local access to the latest design files for all projects from all company offices.

If any of the above features or benefits sounds like they could help your firm, we urge you to contact your local Hagerman office to find out how you can learn more. We hope to hear from you soon!
