CDE Sync™ + Egnyte.

Overview: 

Plenty of organisations run Egnyte as their corporate content platform alongside a dedicated construction CDE for project delivery. CDE Sync™ keeps the two aligned automatically, so a document approved in one system doesn't need to be manually copied, renamed and re-tagged in the other. Retiring a platform altogether rather than running an ongoing sync? CDE Migrate™ handles that one-off move instead, preserving version history, metadata and audit trails intact. 

Who it's for: 

IT teams, Document Controllers, Information Managers and Project Managers running Egnyte alongside a construction CDE. 

What CDE Sync™ does for Egnyte users: 

• Synchronises documents, folder structures and metadata between Egnyte and every other connected CDE 

• Keeps version history intact, so Egnyte's version control stays trustworthy against the source platform 

• Maps Egnyte metadata to your target platform's schema automatically 

• Logs every transfer for audit and compliance purposes 

• Pairs with CDE Migrate™ when you're moving off or onto Egnyte entirely rather than running an ongoing sync 

How it connects: 

CDE Sync™ connects to Egnyte through a dedicated service account and secure API integration, configured entirely through CDE Sync™'s no-code setup wizard. No scripting, no developer involvement, and nothing installed on your infrastructure. 

Also syncs with:

Autodesk Forma (BIM360/ACC), Bentley ProjectWise, Microsoft SharePoint, Procore, Oracle Aconex, 12d Synergy, Asite, InEight, Trimble, Bluebeam, Egnyte, Dalux, RIB, Network Servers, and Azure Blob.

FAQs: 

Can Egnyte be the primary CDE, not just a secondary store?

> Yes, CDE Sync™ treats Egnyte as a full sync endpoint in either direction. 

How long does an Egnyte connection take to set up?

> Typically 15 to 30 minutes. 

Can we sync in both directions, or only one way?

> CDE Sync™ supports inbound, outbound and bi-directional syncs, configured per project. 

Does this affect our existing Egnyte folders and permissions?

> No, CDE Sync™ syncs alongside your existing structure without changing user permissions in Egnyte. 

What if we want to migrate off Egnyte entirely, not just sync?

> That's CDE Migrate™, our one-off migration service. It moves everything at once, preserving version history, metadata and audit trails, rather than keeping platforms continuously synchronised. 

Does Issues Sync™ work with Egnyte?

> Issues Sync™ currently connects Autodesk Forma and Construction Cloud, Bentley iTwin, Asite, Oracle Aconex, 12d Synergy, Procore, Microsoft SharePoint and InEight. Talk to us about adding Egnyte to your Issues Sync™ configuration.
