Forma Data Management vs Oracle Aconex

Put any two products side by side: specification, the six criteria and the EPC Index needle.

FIG. 008

Forma Data Management

Autodesk · Document Control & CDE

02040608010077EPC INDEX

Autodesk's CDE, renamed from Autodesk Docs in 2026, is a natural choice for Autodesk-centred project teams and pairs directly with Forma Build.

FIG. 065

Oracle Aconex

Oracle · Document Control & CDE

02040608010084EPC INDEX

The neutral, owner-trusted CDE for mega-projects, where each party keeps ownership of its data. A safe default when many organisations must share one record.
