Autodesk Cloud Offerings Achieve Milestone in FedRAMP Compliance Process
May 21 2015 - 9:00AM
Business Wire
Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADSK) today announced that it has
initiated the U.S. federal government compliance process for cloud
products and services known as the Federal Risk and Authorization
Management Program (FedRAMP).
FedRAMP compliance will allow Autodesk to better serve
government agencies that require the certification to use cloud
offerings such as Autodesk A360 and Autodesk BIM 360 Glue to drive
innovation, agility and efficiencies. Autodesk achieved FedRAMP “in
process” status by partnering with the United States Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) and will continue to
work toward FedRAMP security requirements through USACE. Autodesk
has worked closely with the federal agency for the last decade,
helping to ensure that industry standards, such as Building
Information Modeling (BIM), are easily and effectively used
throughout the Corps’ engineering programs.
“Federal agencies and system integrators have been requesting
access to Autodesk cloud products for some time now as they need
the agility and performance that cloud-based design technologies
deliver,” said Amar Hanspal, Autodesk Senior Vice President,
Information Modeling & Platform Group. “The ‘in process’
ranking brings us one step closer to fulfilling that need.”
“Our employees need every tool at their disposal to provide
engineering solutions for our nation’s toughest challenges,” said
Jason Fairchild, the BIM community of practice leader at the United
States Army Corps of Engineers, Headquarters. “By following the
FedRAMP compliance procedures, we’re ensuring our people will have
access to first-class cloud design and engineering tools once we
achieve FedRAMP compliance.”
Commitment to Government Requirements
FedRAMP is a government-wide program that provides a
standardized approach to security assessment, authorization and
continuous monitoring for cloud products and services. This
approach uses a “do once, use many times” framework that saves
cost, time and staff required to conduct redundant agency security
assessments. Autodesk has been working with U.S. federal agencies
for more than 25 years, and the company’s commitment to work toward
FedRAMP compliance serves to strengthen that relationship.
