Use of Forma Data Management (Autodesk Docs) at OBERMEYER Infrastructure

GIS & Infrastructure

 

OBERMEYER Infrastructure used Autodesk Docs (now called Forma Data Management) for project preparation to create a unified, structured, and secure project environment. This ensures efficient collaboration and a seamless digital workflow in complex infrastructure projects.

 

Challenge

A central, standardised platform for managing large amounts of data, coordinating internal and external project stakeholders, and mapping structured review and approval processes.

Solution

Introduction of Autodesk Docs as a cloud-based solution that enables clear role and rights distributions, standardised structures, and automated approval processes.

Result

Transparent, efficient projects. A unified database improves collaboration, reduces errors, and ensures sustainable quality.

Don't ask what your data can do for you, ask what you can do for your data.

Creating uniform foundations – the prerequisite for successful projects

Before a project at OBERMEYER Infrastructure begins operations, the structured setup of the project environment is paramount. Autodesk Docs has been established as a platform on which all projects can be set up uniformly and according to defined standards. These include:

  • the early invitation of relevant project participants
  • the assignment of clearly defined roles and rights
  • the creation of consistent folder and data structures
  • the consideration of interfaces and connections to other systems to ensure a seamless digital workflow across all project phases

 

Clear roles and targeted rights allocation for structured collaboration

A key element of using Autodesk Docs is the precise control of access rights, tailored to the specific project organisation. When adding new members, their companyrole, and access to project-relevant folder structures are defined. Access permissions can be controlled in a differentiated manner – at the company levelbased on roles, and individually for each user. This ensures that each party involved can only access the content relevant to them – an important prerequisite for data security, clear accountability, and efficient collaboration within complex infrastructure projects.

 

Managing diverse data in a structured way

OBERMEYER Infrastructure processes large volumes of data, especially in early project phases. Autodesk Docs provides a central, cloud-based platform that consolidates all relevant information in a current and structured manner. It supports a wide range of formats from the fields of CAD, BIM, GIS, and surveying, thus facilitating collaboration across disciplines. Defined interfaces ensure a seamless digital workflow, prevent redundancies, and guarantee data consistency.

Unified data access – everywhere and for all participants

A major advantage of Autodesk Docs lies in its consistent presentation of information, regardless of who accesses the data. Virtually identical views are available to all project stakeholders via browser or mobile app – without the need for specialized software or local installations. Plans, models, and documents can be displayed directly within the platform, significantly simplifying communication and accelerating coordination. The intuitive user interface and location-independent access ensure that both internal teams and external partners can access up-to-date data at any time – in the office, on the go, or on the construction site.

Plan review and approval process

Creating and merging data is only the first step – structured review and approval processes are equally important to ensure the quality and traceability of the content. In Autodesk Docs, plans, models, and documents undergo predefined quality assurance workflows before they can be officially shared or used. Both reviews and approvals are performed automatically and fully documented. This creates a transparent audit trail that meets all documentation requirements. Approved data can also be automatically moved or copied to designated areas – making the handover process efficient and error-free.
