Information Management In The AEC: Solving the Industry’s Data Challenges in 2025 & Beyond

Blog / Information Management

Our Chief Product Officer, Carl Veillette, recently shared his insights on the critical importance of managing project information in the AEC industry.  

Here are some key takeaways from his discussion: 

The Information Explosion Challenge

Carl highlighted that the AEC industry is experiencing an unprecedented information explosion.  

With construction companies producing 2.5 quintillion bytes of data daily, firms are struggling to manage rising storage costs, duplicated data entries, and increased security risks.

Newforma's Innovative Approach

At Newforma, we’re tackling this challenge head-on. Instead of forcing companies to consolidate everything onto one platform, we’ve developed a unique “connector strategy.  

This approach allows firms to: 

  • Create a unified view of project information 
  • Maintain existing workflows and tools 
  • Connect different systems seamlessly 

The Impact of Effective Information Management

Carl emphasized that poor information management can have serious consequences: 

  • Hinders the ability to leverage AI for valuable insights 
  • Creates risks during mergers and acquisitions
  • Complicates resource allocation across projects 

Newforma's Solution: Complete Project Archives

Our software acts as a comprehensive net over your projects, offering: 

  • Holistic search capabilities across project management activities, unorganized information, and BIM data 
  • OCR and native file format support 
  • Connections to various repositories (Autodesk, Microsoft products, etc.) 

 

Mitigating Risk and Ensuring Compliance

Newforma helps firms stay compliant with industry standards like ISO 19650 and offers multiple deployment options to address data residency concerns. We’re also on the journey to achieve FedRAMP certification, demonstrating our commitment to security. 

Knowledge Transfer and Expertise Retention

Our platform helps combat the industry’s talent shortage by creating a searchable knowledge base that extends beyond individual projects, ensuring valuable expertise isn’t lost when key team members leave. 

Don’t let the information explosion overwhelm your AEC firm. With Newforma, you can turn your project data into a powerful asset, driving efficiency, reducing risk, and ensuring long-term success.
