AI-Ready AEC: Building a Smart Digital Foundation With Autodesk and Egnyte

Every week, I hear from firms eager to explore how artificial intelligence can speed up workflows, improve quality, and unlock new ways of working. But here’s the reality: AI is only as good as the data behind it. Without a solid foundation of structured, governed, and secure information, AI’s potential quickly crumbles. My colleagues and I are excited to be attending Autodesk University (AU) 2025, where we’ll share how Egnyte and Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) work together to ensure your data is ready for whatever AI brings next.

Over the past year, we’ve expanded our integrations between Egnyte and ACC to help firms:

• Unify project and business data: Break down silos so teams can work from the same trusted information, no matter the phase or platform.
• Govern data seamlessly: Maintain compliance, control permissions, and enforce version accuracy without disrupting design workflows.
• Find what matters, fast: Use intelligent search and classification to surface the right file instantly, whether it’s a CAD drawing, RFI, or contract.
• Protect sensitive information: Automatically detect and secure confidential or regulated content before it’s inadvertently shared

Egnyte has been using AI behind the scenes for more than a decade to help you prepare for the AI of today—you might say our platform is “the thing that can get you to the thing” when it comes to successful AI adoption!

And in our AU session, “AI-Ready AEC: Building a Smart Digital Foundation With Autodesk and Egnyte,” we’ll walk through how to:

• Unify your firm’s digital foundation across Egnyte and ACC to improve project delivery and firm-wide data governance.
• Automatically classify AEC data to combat “ROTs” (redundant, obsolete, and trivial information), reduce sprawl, and eliminate uncontrolled sharing.
• Apply the “3Ps” Framework—Practical, Purposeful, and Private—to evaluate AI tools responsibly.

You’ll walk away with a practical roadmap you can take back to your firm: a clear path for preparing your data to drive real, reliable AI insights—without hallucinations.
