Autodesk Vault is the latest evolution in product data management, designed to streamline engineering workflows, enhance collaboration, and secure your design data from concept to manufacturing. Vault 2027 builds on proven capabilities to help teams work smarter and faster:
- Centralized, Secure Data Management: Keep all your engineering and design data organized in one secure location, reducing time spent searching for files and minimizing errors from working with outdated information.
- Seamless Collaboration: Enable internal and external stakeholders—including suppliers and customers—to access, review, and mark up files, while maintaining control over intellectual property.
- Enhanced Workflow Efficiency: Benefit from features like improved move commands, automated file reuse, and prioritized job queues to accelerate project delivery and reduce manual effort.
- Flexible Access Anywhere: Work productively from desktop, web, or mobile. Vault Gateway, Thin Client, and the Vault mobile app provide secure access to your data—no VPN required—so you can collaborate anytime, anywhere.
- Advanced Integration and Automation: Leverage real-time data APIs for scalable integration with cloud services and custom applications, empowering better decision-making and streamlined automation.
- Robust Data Recovery and Archiving: Restore deleted files with the trash bin feature and efficiently manage data growth with advanced archiving tools.
Autodesk Vault transforms your design-to-manufacturing process, helping you deliver better products, faster, and at a lower cost.
