To meet growing demand for regionalised cloud services and align with local preferences and regulatory requirements, Autodesk has expanded its Regional Offering. New regional data hubs are now available in the UK, Germany, India, Japan, and Canada.

What This Means for AECO Organisations

AECO professionals in these regions can now choose their primary data storage location for projects within select Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) products, including:

• Autodesk Docs
• Autodesk BIM Collaborate
  
• Autodesk BIM Collaborate Pro
• Model Management Bundle (BIM Collaborate only)

This update allows project data to be stored locally at project creation. Existing project data will remain in its original region unless you choose to migrate it.

Why Regional Data Hubs Matter

For organisations operating in the UK and other covered regions, storing construction project data locally offers key benefits in terms of compliance, security, and performance:

• Data Sovereignty and Security
  Storing data in the UK provides greater control over sensitive information and helps address concerns about data transfers under UK GDPR.
• Regulatory Compliance
  The UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 mandate secure and compliant data handling. Local storage can simplify regulatory adherence and audit readiness.
• Accessibility and Collaboration
  Cloud-based platforms ensure teams can access and collaborate on data from anywhere - without compromising on regional compliance needs.
