Why CDE Sync Pays for Itself:

Manual: VMs, Powershell, Scripting With CDE Sync: Automatic Integrations
$100K–$3M+ annual hidden manual transfer costs <6% of manual cost, fixed subscription
20+ hours/week wasted per skilled resource Zero-touch automation, freeing expert time
High risk of version errors and rework Version control & ISO 19650 compliance
No audit trails or activity reporting Full traceability, logging, and reporting
Unscalable as projects grow Increased ROI with higher project volumes
Unpredictable cost overruns Predictable, budget-friendly pricing
Slow, manual decision cycles Real-time data for faster, confident decisions
Risk of missed deadlines & lost revenue Reliable sync with 99.9% uptime SLA
Inconsistent security controls Enterprise-grade security on Microsoft Azure

— Manual vs CDE Sync —

Comparison: Manual Transfer Methods vs CDE Sync

Manual data transfers for an average 250MB model typically take 6 minutes per file - including downloading from the source CDE, updating metadata and workflows, and uploading to the destination CDE. The estimates provided below are based on a labour rate of 150 USD per hour.

— CDE Sync Competition —

Why CDE Sync out performs the rest.

Generic platforms weren’t built for Common Data Environments, and it shows. CDE Sync is engineered by digital delivery experts to handle the complexity, compliance, and scale of modern infrastructure projects. It’s not just smarter. It’s purpose-built for AEC CDEs.

CDE Sync VS Custom Integrations:

Category CDE Sync Custom Integrations (VMs, Scripts)
Fast Setup ✅ Minutes via wizard interface ❌ Months of bespoke development
Cost Efficiency ✅ Subscription-based; ROI <1 month ❌ $100k–$3M annual per project
Scalability ✅ Scales across projects and vendors easily ❌ Requires rework for each new integration
Pre-Built Vendor Support ✅ ProjectWise, ACC, 12d, Aconex integrations ❌ Custom per vendor, often limited
Metadata Mapping & Versioning ✅ ISO 19650-ready, built-in mapping engine ❌ Custom logic; risk of inconsistency
Audit & Compliance Logs ✅ Full traceability and audit logging built-in ❌ Often absent or requires separate tooling
Managed Updates ✅ Ongoing patches and vendor compatibility ❌ Developer-dependent updates and support
Secure by Design ✅ Azure Key Vault, no caching, GDPR-compliant ❌ Security Protocols varies with developers
Multi-Platform Support ✅ True vendor-agnostic integration engine ❌ Typically built for one or two CDEs
User-Friendly Interface ✅ Wizard setup and portal-based management ❌ Technical expertise required to configure
24/7 Global Support ✅ Follow-the-sun model with SLA guarantees ❌ Support depends on contract or internal team
Future-Ready Features ✅ Exporter, Project Launcher, Issue Round-Tripping ❌ New features require separate development

CDE Sync VS Market Competitors:

Category CDE Sync Competitor Platforms
IPaaS Specialisation ✅ Built specifically for CDE integrations ❌ Generic iPaaS or RPA tools with no CDE focus
Industry Knowledge ✅ Designed by engineers from AEC backgrounds ❌ Generalised tools with no sector expertise
Metadata Mapping ✅ Wizard-driven, ISO 19650-aligned metadata ❌ Requires heavy manual configuration
Vendor Ecosystems ✅ ProjectWise, ACC, Aconex, 12d, and more ❌ Limited to standard APIs or manual plugins
Audit & Compliance ✅ Full traceability, logging, & compliance-ready ❌ Often lacks built-in audit logs
Secure Infrastructure ✅ Azure-hosted, Key Vault-secured, no caching ❌ VMs or Caching of sensitive data with high risks
Deployment Speed ✅ Live in minutes with wizard setup ❌ Setup time varies; often days or weeks
User Experience ✅ Wizard interface, no-code setup ❌ Developer or IT support usually required
Roadmap ✅ Frequent updates, AEC roadmap-driven ❌ Generic product evolution not aligned to AEC
Support Model ✅ Follow-the-sun, AEC-trained support teams ❌ Standard help desk no with domain expertise
Data Federation ✅ Supports live model federation between CDEs ❌ No built-in model federation features
ROI for AEC Projects ✅ ROI within weeks; <$0.02 per file on scale ❌ Expensive to implement and maintain

— CDE Sync Savings —

CDE Sync saves projects both time and cost.

  • ~$2-3 Million expenditure per project per year on resourcing for manual transfers of data between CDE platforms.

  • ~$1 Million expenditure per project per year on resourcing for manual transfers of data between CDE platforms.

  • ~$100-200k expenditure per project per year on resourcing for manual transfers of data between CDE platforms.

Poorly integrated Common Data Environments (CDEs) in construction projects can lead to significant time delays and increased costs. A study highlighted that inefficiencies in data management could add 20% to 25% to project costs - Asite.
