Every construction project team needs the right tools to support key workflows, including QA/QC, safety, RFIs, and cost and progress. Today, teams use a number of different tools and techniques to execute them. The risks of using various applications and processes for these are poor information access, lack of connectivity and collaboration between the office and the field, and tools that are built for either field workers on mobile devices or office workers on laptops. The vision of Construction Cloud is to enable connectivity across the project, and this session will provide an update on the future product road map for field and project management capabilities.

The introduction of Autodesk Construction Cloud as a project platform for engineering companies has often been the subject of presentations. We at DB Engineering & Consulting—the international engineering and consulting company of Deutsche Bahn—have a special challenge: We've been using Vault software for 10 years with about 2,500 users. With this high standard in CAD data management, a migration to Autodesk Construction Cloud is particularly challenging but necessary, due to the increasing percentage of building information modeling (BIM) methodology being used in our projects. In our session, we will outline how we plan to migrate from Vault to Autodesk Construction Cloud in two stages: First, we'll use Autodesk Construction Cloud for Revit modeling while CAD drawings remain in Vault. During the second stage, we'll also transfer the CAD part to Autodesk Construction Cloud. We'll share our solutions to address Autodesk Construction Cloud drawbacks for draftspersons, ensuring even Vault experts can adapt.
