Newforma Unveils Next Wave of AI-Powered Innovation and Open Ecosystem Strategy at Newforma World 2026 

May 7, 2026 – At Newforma World 2026, Carl Veillette, Chief Product Officer at Newforma, unveiled the company’s product vision and roadmap, introducing the next wave of innovation designed to power the future of AEC projects through intelligent automation, connected data, and flexible modernization. 

Opening the session, Veillette recognized the contributions of his team over the past year, whose work has shaped a roadmap focused on delivering more connected, scalable, and insight-driven project experiences. 

Veillette outlined Newforma’s vision for an industry built on secure, well-governed data, where information is trusted, collaboration is seamless, and innovation can move quickly without sacrificing control. 

At the core of this vision is Newforma’s “cloud-first, not cloud-forced” strategy. Rather than mandating a single path to modernization, Newforma enables customers to move at their own pace. The company’s on-premise platform, Newforma Project Center, remains a strategic component of this approach, supporting long-term and repeatable projects while enabling seamless hybrid transitions. 

“Customers choose when and how they modernize. We decided not to be cloud-only, and it’s by design,” said Veillette. 

Security remains foundational, informing product development. Newforma reaffirmed its commitment to balancing cloud innovation with the realities of data sovereignty, compliance, and risk management. 

“Day 1 was about where the industry is going,” Veillette added. “Day 2 is about how that future gets built.” 

Newforma’s roadmap is built on three core priorities: embedding intelligence, reducing friction, and enabling migration readiness. 

“Everything we build must either lower risk, save time, or unlock scale,” said Veillette. 

Newforma’s latest innovations focus on embedding intelligence directly into everyday workflows, starting with one of the industry’s most persistent challenges: email management. 

With only 44% of project-related emails properly filed, despite 75% of legal evidence being email-based, Newforma introduced its Smart Email Filing system. Powered by AI, it automatically associates emails with projects and recommends filing locations for RFIs, submittals, and action items, helping teams create a more complete and defensible project record. 

Building on this foundation, Newforma introduced Vojo, its new AI assistant. Built on an agent-driven framework, Vojo enables AI agents to actively perform tasks on behalf of users. 

Beyond smart Email filing, Veillette added that Vojo’s capabilities will also include: 

• Natural language search across project data 
• Cross-project queries for faster insights 
• Deep content analysis across BIM models and documents 
• Assisted submittal reviews to accelerate compliance checks 
• Expanded access to BIM data, making coordination insights more accessible across teams 

These capabilities are powered by Newforma’s strategic partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS), providing the scalable and secure infrastructure required to support advanced AI innovation. 

To accelerate time-to-value, Newforma announced a simplified, user-based licensing model. This modular structure allows organizations to purchase only what they need, with dedicated tracks such as InfoTrack, BIM Track, and CA Track. 

Additional enhancements include: 

• A new, redesigned, Outlook add-in integrated directly within the native inbox 
• Entra integration for automated user provisioning 
• A Deltek Vantagepoint connector 
• More granular permission controls and custom roles 
• Enhanced team distribution lists 

Together, these updates reduce operational complexity and streamline adoption across teams. 

Newforma continues to invest in an open, connected ecosystem, supporting customers as they modernise their workflows without disruption. 

A new integration with Bluebeam Studio, announced on stage, will connect Bluebeam with Newforma Konekt, further strengthening project collaboration. The longstanding Project Center integration will continue to be supported. 

Newforma also announced a new partnership with Egnyte, reinforcing its commitment to a software-agnostic approach. 

Through this partnership, Newforma acts as an intelligent layer across existing storage environments, enabling direct connectivity with platforms such as Microsoft SharePoint, Autodesk Docs, and a myriad of third-party systems. This allows teams to unify project information, streamline workflows, and gain visibility across fragmented data without changing where that data lives. 

This reflects Newforma’s long-standing philosophy of connecting the industry rather than replacing existing tools, giving organizations the flexibility to modernize on their own terms. 

Additional advancements include: 

• Microsoft Teams integration, enabling defensible communication records 
• Outlook folder creation directly linking project specific email workflows 
• Bulk data export capabilities to ensure full data ownership 
• A new connector partnering with OFCDESK for Autodesk Build workflows in both Newforma Konekt and Newforma Project Center 
• A new, Modern, Newforma Field Reports app for on-site data capture 

Newforma also announced a new FedRAMP Moderate deployment, reinforcing its commitment to security and compliance, alongside ongoing work towards meeting advanced requirements. 

Closing the session, Veillette reinforced Newforma’s mission: 

“We’re building a world where project information is more connected, where the tools you rely on work better together, and where your teams can move faster because they see more, sooner, with less friction.”
