Streamlining Project Provisioning with Cadac Connect

In the dynamic world of construction and engineering, efficient and controlled project workflow is critical for project provisioning. As more organizations adopt Autodesk Construction Cloud® (ACC) Docs as their Common Data Environment (CDE), the need for controlled, automated, scalable project provisioning becomes increasingly important. That’s where Cadac Connect steps in.

What is Project Provisioning?

Project provisioning refers to the request and approval process for the initial setup and configuration of a project environment—including folder structures, permissions, roles, templates, and document workflows. In ACC, this process can be uncontrolled, time-consuming, and error-prone if done manually, especially when managing multiple projects or clients.

Automate with Cadac Connect

Cadac Connect is a powerful integration and automation platform developed by the Cadac Group, a leading Autodesk Platinum Partner. It enables organizations to automate the request and approval workflow of projects in ACC, ensuring control, consistency, and compliance.

Authentication

The Cadac Connect Project Provisioning tool uses 3-legged authentication to retrieve user-specific information such as name, email address, Autodesk account email, and profile picture.
