But as information moves from design teams to estimators, from preconstruction to the field, and eventually to owners and operators, critical context can get lost.<\/p>\n<p>At Autodesk, we believe there&#8217;s a better way: a connected process where information moves with the project, rather than a series of disconnected handoffs.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s the vision we&#8217;re building toward with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/company\/autodesk-platform\/aec\">Autodesk Forma<\/a>.

The Capabilities score measures supplier product, go-to-market and business execution in the short-term. The Strategy score measures alignment of supplier strategies with customer requirements in a 3-5 year timeframe.

Autodesk is positioned in the Leaders Category.<\/em><\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<p>IDC MarketScape\u2019s assessment evaluated Autodesk\u2019s construction management capabilities and strategies.<\/p>\n<p>What stands out to me is that IDC MarketScape identified our design-to-operate platform as a strength. The opportunity ahead isn&#8217;t simply to make construction software better; it&#8217;s to connect decisions made in design and engineering with the work happening in preconstruction and the field, while ensuring what teams learn during delivery carries forward.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s the shift I believe we&#8217;re leading with Autodesk Forma, and I&#8217;m proud of the role our teams are playing in making it possible.<\/p>\n<h3>What IDC MarketScape noted and why we believe it matters<\/h3>\n<p>In its assessment, IDC MarketScape identifies several Autodesk strengths that we believe align closely with what we hear from construction teams every day: the need for more connected workflows, practical AI that helps people get work done, and technology that works alongside the tools they already use:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Deep construction industry experience combined with a design-to-operate platform that includes project and geospatial information, as well as a digital twin offering to simplify post-project handoff.<\/li>\n<li>Embedded AI agents that are targeted for certain tasks (model info, schedule, RFIs, submittals) as well as a general Autodesk Assistant for cross-domain work and model analysis.<\/li>\n<li>Partnership ecosystem model: Autodesk Platform Services (formerly called Forge) provides a set of applications, APIs, and an open approach for development of new applications. It also has multiple construction communities and partner advisory councils to drive close customer engagement. One large general contractor customer describes its long-time relationship with Autodesk as \u201cmutually beneficial;\u201d other customers express similar sentiments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Taken together, we believe this reinforces the momentum behind Autodesk Forma, the AEC industry cloud that brings designers, engineers, and construction teams together. Forma&#8217;s open ecosystem includes more than 400 integrations through technology partners and Forma Construction Connect, giving our construction teams the flexibility to work with the tools they already use.<span class=\"m-0 p-0 d-block c_6ae2469901a30\">&nbsp;<\/span>With a shared platform that combines the breadth of Autodesk\u2019s design and make capabilities with the intelligence of AI, teams can move faster, make better decisions earlier, and build with greater confidence.<span class=\"m-0 p-0 d-block c_6ae2469901a34\">&nbsp;<\/span>As IDC&#8217;s Jeffrey Hojlo explains:<br \/>\u201cConstruction management software is increasingly being evaluated on its ability to connect workflows, data, and project teams across the construction lifecycle,\u201d said Jeffrey Hojlo, research vice president, industrial ecosystems, engineering, &amp; product innovation strategies, IDC. \u201cAutodesk&#8217;s positioning as a Leader reflects its broad construction management capabilities, investments in embedded AI, and established partner ecosystem. Together, these are important considerations for organizations seeking to improve collaboration and continuity throughout project delivery.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Building on this momentum<\/h3>\n<p>At Autodesk University 2026, we <a href=\"https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/en\/news\/autodesk-forma-ai-aec-connected-workflows-2026\/\">announced new capabilities<\/a>, including Forma Bid, AI-powered Project Home insights in Forma Build, and the Daily Log Agent, that continue to advance our vision for connected construction. From preconstruction and model coordination to field operations and AI-powered workflows, these innovations are helping bring more of the project lifecycle together through Forma.<span class=\"m-0 p-0 d-block c_6ae2469901a35\">&nbsp;<\/span>Customer feedback shapes where we invest and innovate. From our earliest construction capabilities to today\u2019s connected, AI-powered workflows, we\u2019ve kept one focus: technology that helps construction teams do their best work. <span class=\"m-0 p-0 d-block c_6ae2469901a36\">&nbsp;<\/span>To our customers and partners who have been part of this journey: thank you.
