Autodesk Vault Data Management for Inventor, AutoCAD and Revit
Autodesk Vault
Design Consulting are Autodesk Vault and Data Management specialists. From large multi-site environments with 500+ users, to replicated environments to small 1 user solutions, we know which Vault to deploy, the IT infrastructure required, how to configure and understand various industry requirements to provide the right data management solution.
Vault can be deployed on-premise or in the cloud using your own infrastructure (private cloud) or hosted in Azure, AWS or another cloud service. Vault can also be synched with Autodesk Fusion Teams and BIM 360 to control what data goes outside your organisation and who has access.

Vault Features
Secure Data Management
Protect your Intellectual Property. Vault offers secure file encryption and granular user permissions and controls.
Advanced Data Management
Manage files, references, folders and metadata faster than ever before.
Audit Trail
Understand the history of files, version changes, and where files are being used, who accessed them and what they changed and when.
File Reference Management
Never lose file references again. Move files such as parts and sub-assemblies (Inventor) and XREFS and Vault automatically tracks references to the main design.
Copy Design
Easily copy large file datasets with references, rename and select what gets copied.
Shared Views
Share native files with external collaborators, while protecting IP. Review, mark up, and track comments.
Lifecycle Management
Automate revision table management and file lifecycle change states. Lock files once released to ensure files are not changed once they are released. Automate and track changes to files and metadata when revision are modified.
Job Processor
Automate manual file creation and other processes such as PDF, DXF, DWG, STEP, BOM, email notifications and many other steps required once files change state.
Automatic Numbering Schemes
Automate the file naming of new parts, manage part and project numbers and control duplicates.
Concurrent Design
Centrally manage projects and have multiple team members work on the same project without overwriting work.
Engineering Change Orders
Manage ECO/ECR's through a formalised process and audit trail.
Bill of Materials Management
Use items as records and build up bills of materials and lilnk them to files and projects without needing to be in the CAD authoring system. Export bills of materials to be imported into other systems such as ERP/MRP.
Mobile App
Stay up to date on your projects and collaborate with your team on your mobile phone or tablet while away from your desktop computer. Vault mobile app allows you to take your design data with you onto the shop floor, on-site, or out to meet your customer.
