Autodesk, Pinnacle Infotech push integrated project delivery as AECO shifts to data-led models
Aims to streamline project execution with unified data flows, improved visibility and faster delivery cycles.
The partnership focuses on scaling digital design, connected construction, and Digital Twin adoption.
The partnership is anchored in India and the broader Asia Pacific region, with both companies targeting enterprise and infrastructure projects across global markets.
It is formalised alongside the launch of Pinnacle’s Centre of Excellence for Design and Engineering in Bengaluru.
The collaboration combines Autodesk’s cloud-based design and construction platforms with Pinnacle’s digital engineering and project delivery capabilities to address fragmentation across the project lifecycle.
The two companies aim to enable integrated workflows spanning design, construction, operations, and asset management.
Pinnacle Infotech Solutions’ CEO and co-founder, Bimal Patwari, says the AECO industry sits at the centre of how successful projects are designed, coordinated, and delivered.
“The collaboration with Autodesk strengthens our ability to scale digital delivery and drive measurable outcomes across APAC and global projects. By combining expertise in digital design, digital construction, and Digital Twin execution with Autodesk’s technology ecosystem, we help customers achieve higher levels of coordination, reduce rework, and deliver projects more efficiently across the entire lifecycle. Together, we enable the next phase of connected, data-driven project delivery,” he adds.
The initiative focuses on improving coordination and data flow across project stakeholders, an area where legacy processes continue to create inefficiencies in large infrastructure and construction projects.
By standardising workflows and improving information management, the companies aim to deliver faster project timelines, more predictable outcomes, and higher execution quality.
Focus on lifecycle integration and Digital Twin adoption
A key focus area for the partnership is advancing the adoption of Digital Twin and connected construction technologies.
The companies position the combined offering to support organisations transitioning from siloed project execution to integrated, data-driven delivery models.
This includes enabling real-time visibility into project performance, improving collaboration between design and execution teams, and reducing rework through better planning and coordination.
The partnership also includes joint efforts in knowledge sharing, ecosystem development, and industry engagement to accelerate adoption of digital engineering practices.
Both companies plan to work together on customer programs and industry initiatives to expand the use of digital workflows in construction and infrastructure projects.
In the AECO sector, organisations are moving towards platform-led and data-driven approaches to manage increasing project complexity.
As infrastructure investments scale across regions including India and Southeast Asia, demand rises for solutions that can unify design, construction, and operational data.
By combining platform capabilities with execution expertise, the partnership aims to address both technology adoption and on-ground implementation challenges, which remain a key barrier in large-scale digital transformation initiatives in the construction sector.
As enterprises and governments push for more efficient and sustainable infrastructure development, integrated digital workflows and Digital Twin technologies are expected to play a central role in improving project outcomes and long-term asset performance.
