Platform designed ‘automate and secure’ the entire AEC project data lifecycle
Egnyte has launched Project Hub, an AI-powered project data solution designed to solve documentation and coordination challenges by giving AEC teams visibility and control over data throughout the project lifecycle.
“The Project Hub acts as a central repository for all project data, providing users with real-time, comprehensive insights into their projects, storing everything from design files to field data,” said Prasad Gune, chief product officer at Egnyte.
“From project kickoff to closeout, Project Hub’s streamlined workflows, including standardised project setup and integrations with essential platforms like Autodesk Construction Cloud and Procore, help eliminate versioning conflicts and duplicate work so our customers can focus on project delivery, not managing data.”
The Project Hub is built around Project Center, which is said to deliver a comprehensive real-time view of all projects that vary in status, i.e. pending, in progress, and done.
Elsewhere, the Content Bridge supports ‘federated collaboration’, allowing two or more project partners with separate Egnyte domains to share data securely while each party autonomously administers its environment.
There’s also native syncing with key AEC systems, including Autodesk Construction Cloud, Procore, Newforma, and BlueBeam. According to Egnyte, this helps streamline processes, ensure version control, and eliminate duplicate work.
“The Project Hub is a tremendous value add to our end-users because it provides a standardized structure and central view of our projects and data,” said DJ Reynolds, Cyber Security and Network Administrator at GBBN. “The ability to template out project dashboards and folder structures saves our team significant time from the beginning stages of a project and makes it easy to refer to projects throughout their lifecycle and even after they’re closed out. It frees up our team to focus on designing, instead of combing through complex folder structures.”
