CDE Sync for Microsoft SharePoint

Connecting Microsoft SharePoint to Every Major CDE Platform

Microsoft SharePoint is one of the most widely deployed document management and collaboration platforms in the world. For many organisations, it is the backbone of internal knowledge management, team collaboration, and corporate document control. In the AECO sector, SharePoint is frequently used alongside purpose-built CDE platforms, serving as the internal document environment while project-specific CDEs handle external collaboration and formal document workflows.

The challenge is that keeping SharePoint synchronised with project CDEs typically requires manual effort, creating version drift, duplication, and traceability gaps between internal and external document environments.

CDE Sync by Utopia Digital automates that synchronisation. It connects Microsoft SharePoint to every major CDE platform in the AECO sector, ensuring that documents and metadata remain consistent across internal and project environments without manual intervention.

1. Microsoft SharePoint integrated with Autodesk BIM 360, ACC, and Forma Many organisations maintain SharePoint as their internal document environment while project teams work in Autodesk BIM 360, ACC, or Forma. CDE Sync synchronises documents and metadata between the two environments, ensuring that internal stakeholders in SharePoint have access to current project outputs without needing direct access to the Autodesk platform.

2. Microsoft SharePoint integrated with Bentley ProjectWise Engineering organisations using Bentley ProjectWise for project delivery often maintain SharePoint as their corporate document management environment. CDE Sync connects the two platforms, enabling documents and metadata to flow between ProjectWise and SharePoint automatically so that corporate and project records remain aligned throughout delivery.

3. Microsoft SharePoint integrated with Oracle Aconex On programmes where Oracle Aconex manages formal document control and correspondence, SharePoint often serves as the internal collaboration environment for the same organisation. CDE Sync bridges the two, synchronising relevant project documents into SharePoint so that internal teams are always working from current information without accessing Aconex directly.

4. Microsoft SharePoint integrated with Procore Organisations using Procore for construction management often maintain SharePoint for internal collaboration and corporate document management. CDE Sync keeps both environments aligned, synchronising construction documents and project records between Procore and SharePoint so that internal stakeholders have visibility of current project status without manual file transfers.

5. Microsoft SharePoint integrated with Asite Where Asite is the primary project CDE, CDE Sync connects it to SharePoint to ensure that internal teams working in the Microsoft ecosystem have access to current project documents and metadata. This removes the need for manual exports from Asite into SharePoint and eliminates the version drift that typically results from that process.

6. Microsoft SharePoint integrated with InEight InEight is used across heavy civil, energy, and industrial programmes where SharePoint often serves as the broader organisational document management environment. CDE Sync connects InEight to SharePoint, synchronising project documents and metadata so that both project delivery teams and internal stakeholders maintain access to a consistent, current project record.

7. Microsoft SharePoint integrated with 12D Synergy 12D Synergy is widely used on civil and survey-intensive programmes in Australia and New Zealand. Where organisations maintain SharePoint as their internal document environment, CDE Sync connects 12D Synergy to SharePoint, enabling civil design outputs to flow into the broader organisational document environment without manual intervention.

CDE Sync is a no-code, cloud-based platform hosted on Microsoft Azure and SOC 2 Type II certified. It supports multilingual teams, international deployments, and integrates with reporting tools including Power BI.
