Are you an Autodesk Platform Services (APS, formerly known as Forge) super user? Do you have experience building custom solutions or applications for customers to increase their efficiency, bridge gaps in their workflows, or connect their current enterprise systems? You may be a perfect candidate to apply to the Autodesk Platform Services Certified Partner program.
The Autodesk team currently certifies partners with the ability to help third-party customers build or deploy solutions using APS. We have recently introduced 4 industry-focused Areas of Expertise that candidates can apply for:
- Multi-industry
- Architecture, Engineering, and Construction
- Architecture, Engineering, and Construction - Automation
- Manufacturing
If you think you might qualify for any of these areas, submit your application here.
Multi-Industry
For applications with solutions that are useful across multiple industries, or to connect workflows between industries. Multi-Industry solutions typically make use of the Viewer & Model Derivative API, as well as Webhooks. Some examples of multi-industry applications are:
- Dashboard
- Reporting
- Digital Twin
- ERP/CRM Integration
- AR/VR
Want to see it in action? Check out SIVAR's story about their digital twin here.
Architecture, Engineering, and Construction
Solutions in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction industries typically use the BIM360 and ACC APIs. Some examples of AEC applications are:
- Dashboard
- Integrations
- Reporting
- Project setup & management
Want to see it in action? ofcdesk used ACC APIs to prevent errors, and save time and money. Check out their story here.
Architecture, Engineering, and Construction - Automation
Solutions in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Automation specialization typically use the Design Automation APIs for Revit or AutoCAD. Some examples of AEC Automation solutions include:
- Catalogs
- Configurators
- Project/file setup
- Model check
- Pre-fabrication
Want to see it in action? See how ekkodale cut viewer development and integration time from 2+ years to 2 weeks using the Design Automation API for Revit. Read their story here.
Manufacturing
Manufacturing solutions use of Viewer, Fusion Team and Fusion Data APIs, while Manufacturing Automation solutions utilize the Design Automation API for Inventor or Fusion APIs. Some examples of Manufacturing solutions include:
- Digital Twins
- ERP/CRM Integrations
- Catalogs
- Configurators
- Reporting (e.g. BOM) tools
Want to see it in action? SolidCAD built a configurator using the Design Automation API for Inventor. Check out their story here.
How to submit your application
Ready to submit your application? Please be ready to share 1 or more customer stories of solutions that your team has developed over the last 2 years. These solutions should cover at least 3 areas of each industry area of expertise you are applying for. For example, if you are applying for a Multi-industry certification, your solution(s) should include 3 of these 5 elements:
- Dashboard
- Reporting
- Digital Twin
- ERP/CRM Integration
- AR/VR
Please record or share a video of each of the solutions you would like to submit, and provide the link for our team to review.
