The Autodesk Vault editions allow you to choose the functionality and workflow solutions that suit your specific business needs.
Autodesk Vault Basic
Vault Basic securely stores and manages data in a cental location, helping teams to quickly create, share, and reuse digital prototyping information. Users have basic version control over vaulted files and can quickly package files for sharing.
Autodesk Vault Workgroup
Vault Workgroup helps teams create and share, design and engineering information by securely organizing, managing, and tracking data in a central location. Ease of administration enables workgroup control of data access and security, and facilitates team-based design across disciplines. Because they can quickly manage their designs and track changes over time, users gain productivity without disruption to their natural design workflows. In addition, Vault Workgroup delivers lifecycle and revision control processes directly in the design application, which promotes faster cycle times and better-quality engineering data.
Autodesk Vault Collaboration (2012 & 2013 Only)
Vault Collaboration includes all of the functionality in Autodesk Vault Workgroup and adds an advanced toolset that provides administrators with the scalability needed to manage large workgroups. Users can share engineering design data with downstream data consumers using the included web client and expose design-related information to the extended enterprise by publishing to Microsoft® SharePoint® Scalable multi-site functionality enables companies to synchronize design data among distributed workgroups, extending the reach of the digital model to the entire project team.
Autodesk Vault Professional
Vault Professional securely stores and manages engineering information, design data, and documents-shortening the design-to-build and manufacture process. It includes multi-site tools to connect workgroups across discrete locations, helping the entire design chain collaborate and share project information. Take full advantage of advanced functionality by giving design departments the tools they need to track change orders, manage bills of materials (BOMs), and promote earlier collaboration through integration to expert business systems. In addition, support for multi-CAD environments means that Vault clients using non-Autodesk design products can aggregate and manage design data throughout its lifecycle.
