Autodesk Unifies Technology Partner Program Across AECO Solutions 

What do digital leaders have in common? They invest in technology that connects people, data, and processes. 

According to Autodesk's 2025 State of Design & Make: Spotlight on Construction report, digital leaders use an average of 5.3 tools per construction project compared to 3.4 at beginner (i.e., less digitally mature) organizations.  

When it comes to succeeding in today's architecture, engineering, construction, and operations (AECO) landscape, the data paints a clear picture: firms that embrace digitalization have a competitive edge. 

At Autodesk, we believe empowering collaboration across the entire project lifecycle is essential for the future of the AECO industry. We strive to support digital adoption and data sharing in design and make practices so our customers can deliver better outcomes. With that in mind, we are thrilled to announce the new Autodesk AECO Technology Partner Program that now encompasses all Autodesk AECO solutions. 

We're combining the existing Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC), AEC, and Forma Partner Programs into a new, unified Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations (AECO) Technology Partner Program. 

Why the change? 

Unifying Autodesk's partner programs will standardize program activities across Autodesk's AECO partners. For partners, this means simplified participation and more opportunities to grow with Autodesk. Autodesk customers can now easily discover and connect with partners who meet their specific needs across the entire design and make lifecycle. 

The most successful players in these industries embrace collaboration and openness, blurring previous lines and distinctions across the project lifecycle. We support that trend and have designed our program and practices to match. 

What exactly is changing? 

This update introduces several enhancements to Autodesk's partnership framework: 

• Partner Team Support – We now have one, experienced team that spans the entire Autodesk AECO product portfolio to launch and promote high-value integrations with Autodesk products. 
• Program Tier Restructuring - We are expanding the program tiers to include a new Bronze tier and are introducing thresholds for Silver and Gold tiers for our cloud and desktop products. 
• Unified Ecosystem Directory - The existing ACC and AEC partner pages will now live in a single AECO technology partner ecosystem directory. The new page centralizes all Silver and Gold Autodesk Technology Partners into one location. 

Introducing the new partner program website 

The new partner program can be accessed at https://autodesk.com/integrations.

Here, customers can explore and learn about high-value integrations with all Autodesk AECO solutions, including Autodesk Forma. 

Notable examples include: 

• Eptura: Eptura and Autodesk bridge the gap between BIM and facilities management. This integration with Autodesk Construction Cloud and Autodesk Tandem unifies design, operations, and performance data into one platform. It also helps facility managers improve comfort and safety, plus track carbon usage more effectively. 
• Finch: An AI-driven architectural tool that enhances design processes by enabling rapid iteration, providing instant performance feedback, and ensuring compliance with regulations. Upload volume and context from Autodesk Forma and generate the interior of the building - story heights, floor plates, and unit plans in Finch. 
• GAMMA AR: GAMMA AR brings 3D BIM models directly into the field through Augmented Reality. Teams can see how designs align with reality, verify progress on-site, and prevent rework. 
• GeoDin Ground: Enables geotechnical engineers to create geodatabases and visualizations with ease. Project teams can access geodata directly within Autodesk Civil 3D, allowing you to create designs that are safe, efficient, effective and maximize sustainability. 
• Matterport: Matterport transforms buildings into immersive digital twins, integrated with Autodesk tools including Autodesk AutoCAD, Autodesk Construction Cloud, and Autodesk Revit. Use Matterport to capture site conditions, improve collaboration, and streamline as-built documentation. 

Autodesk partners showcased innovation and real-world results at AU 2025 

Autodesk AECO partners shared powerful case studies and hands-on examples at AU 2025. Attendees saw the impact of digital solutions on AECO workflows and team collaboration. 

Here's a look at some of the classes that demonstrated these integrations in action: 

Safety in Design with Autodesk Construction Cloud and AR: The Digital Journey of an Aviation Project 

The outdated T2 baggage system at Heathrow needed to be replaced, but doing so was a complex process. This session covered how teams faced the challenge of managing design risks through different organizations and suppliers in a live, operational environment. The class covered how leveraging ACC and GAMMA AR together streamlined inspections, reduced duplication, and improved safety. 

Unlock Insights from 3D Ground Data in Civil 3D with GeoDin Ground for Informed Infrastructure Design Choices 

What if you could "see into the ground" before breaking ground? This session illustrated how project teams can do that with Fugro's GeoDin Ground app for Civil 3D. It covered topics like how to bring borehole and geotechnical data directly into models, analyzing volumes between surfaces, and creating accurate reports. 

Revit to Indoors: A Digital Transformation Journey at Denver International Airport 

Denver International Airport is redefining facility management by extending BIM into GIS. This session focused on how DEN built an 18-million-square-foot Esri ArcGIS Indoors database from Revit models, enabling spatial intelligence across 7,000+ rooms. Participants saw the milestones, breakthroughs, and bidirectional workflows that powered DEN's decade-long digital transformation. 

Delivering Megaprojects Without Disruption: Moving from BIM 360 to ACC and Across Oceans for Data Regionalization 

Migrating megaproject data across platforms and continents is hard enough as it is, and when you're moving a live, ongoing project, the challenge multiplies quickly. In this session, attendees saw how project teams used ACC Connect to migrate data from BIM 360 to ACC and transitioned the project from the United States to the EU data center to meet data residency and regulatory requirements. The session covered technical and logistical challenges, and how teams used ACC to automate processes, ensuring compliance, and minimizing disruption. 

From Data to Informed Design: Unlocking GIS-Powered Urban Design with Autodesk Forma Plus Esri 

In this session, Lake Flato Architects and Esri demonstrated how GIS-powered workflows in Autodesk Forma transformed their urban planning efforts. Participants learned how combining real-time massing tools with GIS data—from flood risks to green infrastructure—enabled informed, collaborative design that supports resilient, community-focused outcomes. 

Bringing it all together 

As AECO projects grow in size and complexity, strong partnerships and integrations are key to success.  

That’s why if you're a technology provider, now's the time to join the AECO Technology Partner Program and grow with Autodesk. Join us for a webinar on Thursday, October 23^rd to learn more.
