Your Common Data Environments should work together. CDE Connect automates file sync and metadata mapping across platforms, so teams always share the right dataset.
What is CDE Connect?
12d Synergy seamlessly integrates your Common Data Environments, enabling secure data (files, models and metadata) to flow between multiple platforms. No more duplicate data, no more outdated files, no more manual transfers – just reliable, automated syncing that keeps your teams focused and productive.
In the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry, project teams often manage their own CDE, such as 12d Synergy, Autodesk Construction Cloud, and ProjectWise. Each system holding huge amounts of data, but often operate in isolation. Keeping information up to date across them all is a constant struggle.
Sharing data between them often means a lot of manual work. Transferring files, packaging up data, tracking records, and ensuring everything gets to the right place is time-consuming and error-prone.
That’s where CDE Connect comes in. It automates this entire process, helping owners, designers and site teams simplify data exchange to improve efficiency and quality across a project.
Data exchange shouldn’t be hard work
When project teams work across multiple platforms, keeping information aligned becomes manual work and small gaps quickly turn into rework.
Different systems create different “truths”, so teams end up coordinating from inconsistent sets.
Manual exports and uploads slow delivery and introduce avoidable errors under deadline pressure.
Metadata is often lost during handover, making it hard to track status and suitability.
Version drift triggers rework when one platform updates and the other doesn’t.
Naming and structure become inconsistent across systems, which makes retrieval and governance harder.
Audit gaps appear during QA and claims because it’s unclear what was issued, when, and by whom.
Access control becomes messy when files are copied between systems instead of governed end-to-end.
Complex deliverables are hard to validate after transfer,leading to missing items and broken dependencies.
Seamless collaboration
from project beginning to end
When project information lives across multiple common data environments, coordination quickly turns into manual work. CDE Connect keeps your systems aligned by automating the exchange of approved files (and any supported metadata) so teams stay in sync from early design through delivery, without changing the tools they already use.
Seamless data exchange and associated meta data.
Secure and compliance to industry-standard workflows.
Trigger by set schedule, workflow or manually.
Real-time updates and user notification.
