Everyone’s Talking About Open CDEs, But Who’s Actually Showing You How?
In an industry full of jargon and promises, CDE Sync offers a clear, no-code, secure way to connect leading CDE platforms and deliver true interoperability.
Built to align with ISO 19650 and OpenBIM, CDE Sync helps project teams structure and synchronise data across systems — without replacing the tools they already use.
Lost in the Middle: The Hidden Risk of Data Loss with Delivery Partners
In major infrastructure and asset delivery projects, joint ventures (JVs), delivery alliances, and design partnerships produce vast volumes of high-value information. But too often, that information becomes inaccessible just when it's needed most: at handover, during operations, or years later when something goes wrong.
Digital Twin: Hype or Reality?
“Digital twin” has become one of the most overused terms in asset management, infrastructure delivery, and smart city conversations. But what does it really mean and are organisations actually achieving it?
The Rise of the Digital Strategist: Reimagining Leadership in Project Delivery
In 2025, data is the driver, not just the by-product. Projects are no longer linear, they’re part of complex, interconnected digital ecosystems. Leadership now requires the ability to understand and govern not just delivery, but also technology, data, security, and information architecture.
Evolving Standards to Keep Pace with Open CDEs
In 2025, infrastructure and asset-rich industries face a new complexity. Data is no longer just geometric, it's geospatial, operational, financial, and behavioural. Teams work across multiple systems, from BIM and GIS to ERP and AIMS. Information is expected to persist beyond delivery, enabling digital twins and asset performance insights
Seamless Supply Chain Integration is the Future of Digital Asset Management
Data is at the heart of every infrastructure, government, and energy project. But when that data is fragmented across contractor systems, file servers, and cloud platforms, asset owners lose visibility, control, and assurance. Missed metadata, inconsistent versioning, and broken workflows can all delay progress and affect contract compliance.
The Automation Dividend: Free Your Team From Data Handling.
While digital tools promise productivity, many project teams are still wasting thousands of hours manually moving files between disconnected systems. This hidden cost drains budgets, ties up skilled resources, and exposes projects to risks like data loss, rework, and delays.
The Digital Twin Disconnect: Is Your CDE Blocking Progress?
Digital twins promise to revolutionise how infrastructure and asset owners manage performance across the lifecycle. But many organisations are hitting a hidden roadblock: disconnected, vendor-specific Common Data Environments (CDEs) that trap critical data in project silos.
Securing the Gaps: The Risks of Cross-CDE Data Transfers.
Manual CDE data transfers carry hidden risks… from security vulnerabilities to compliance failures. Discover how secure, automated content streaming with CDE Sync protects your projects and your data.
