Newforma teams with TD SYNNEX’s Datech to widen global reach for Konekt and Info Track
Summary
A channel partnership has been established between a project information software provider and the design software arm of a global IT distributor to expand access to cloud collaboration tools for the architecture, engineering, construction and owner sector. Under the agreement, the distributor will make the vendor’s cloud-hosted platform and its newly released module available through an extensive reseller network across North America, Europe and the Middle East, effective immediately.
Key details up front
The arrangement names the distributor as an official channel for the software suite, enabling resellers to offer the products through established sales and lifecycle programs. The platform in scope is an intuitive, cloud-based project information system that centralizes drawings, models, RFIs, submittals and contract changes. The recently launched module centralizes project conversations, files, tasks and decisions to reduce manual work, accelerate onboarding and preserve institutional knowledge.
Distribution and scope
The distributor’s design software business will provide regional reach across key markets in North America, Europe and the Middle East and support resellers through enablement and automation programs. Availability through the distributor’s channels is stated to be immediate, allowing partner resellers to list and deploy the cloud tools to end customers without further delay.
What the tools do
The platform consolidates project information and aims to reduce rework and risk by ensuring teams have access to up-to-date materials. The added module is positioned as a centralized repository for all project conversations and decisions, intended to help distributed and multidisciplinary teams collaborate with less manual overhead. The vendor describes the combined offering as streamlining communication and improving collaboration across distributed teams.
Business rationale and positioning
Company leadership framed the agreement as a step to scale cloud adoption among design and construction firms and to expand the vendor’s partner ecosystem. The distributor’s design-focused business unit will leverage its partner enablement and customer lifecycle capabilities to bring the software to market, using a lifecycle approach that includes onboarding, adoption, expansion and renewal activities.
Market and investor context
Market analysis included with the announcement notes that the partnership increases the distributor’s exposure to digital transformation in the built environment, though the immediate impact on overall revenue and margins is likely to be modest. Observers pointed to other strategic alliances the distributor has pursued in cloud and AI as more significant near-term growth drivers, while cautioning that broader demand normalization remains a risk for the distribution business.
Company facts and scale
The vendor has been operating for over two decades and reports its platform has been used across millions of projects globally. The vendor’s solutions are available both on-premises and in the cloud and are used by a sizable base of individual users and firms. The distributor is a global IT distributor and solutions aggregator with a large customer base and an extensive vendor portfolio, supported by a design-specialist business unit aimed at the AECO market.
