Autodesk has announced that its Autodesk for Government portfolio has achieved Federal Risk and Authorisation Management Programme (FedRAMP) Moderate Impact authorisation, ensuring robust security for US Federal Government and public-sector projects. This marks a pivotal step towards Digital Transformation in the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry. To ensure the adoption of secure cloud technologies FedRAMP was created to authorise cloud services that meet key security standards.
The portfolio includes Autodesk Docs for Government and Autodesk BIM Collaborate Pro for Government, which streamlines collaboration and document management. These tools provide a secure cloud environment for federal projects, enabling stakeholders to work from a centralised ‘single source of truth’ throughout a project’s lifecycle.
Government agencies often face inefficiencies when teams rely on outdated methods to share information, leading to wasted time and resources. Autodesk’s solutions tackle these challenges by enabling real-time collaboration, reducing errors, and promoting sustainability in design.
Autodesk’s FedRAMP authorisation, sponsored by the US General Services Administration (GSA), reflects rigorous security standards, allowing agencies and contractors to adopt these tools confidently.
Jack Hsueh, Director of Strategy, Digital Project Delivery on the AEC Strategy team, said: “We’re proud to announce that our FedRAMP authorisation is sponsored by the US General Services Administration’s Office of the Chief Information Officer OCIO (GSA IT). As a federal government agency, the GSA’s purpose is to streamline government operations and save money. Digital Transformation in the building industry promises to help meet those goals. By working in the cloud with seamless collaboration, intuitive workflows and secure data, project teams can deliver public projects faster and with less waste. These are outcomes that we all–taxpayers included–can get behind.”
