PTAG joins Autodesk Service Provider Program to boost Datum implementation

PTAG has joined Autodesk’s Service Provider Program and is building a North American team to help major capital project owners implement Autodesk Datum. The move ties PTAG’s project delivery and data standards experience to Autodesk’s digital project delivery platform as owners look to improve execution and information control.

Why it matters: - PTAG’s new Autodesk Service Provider Program status expands its ability to advise, configure and support Autodesk Datum for large capital programs. - The partnership targets a hard problem for asset owners: connecting project data, workflows, governance and controls across engineering, construction and operations. - PTAG is positioning Datum as part of a broader digital project delivery model, not just a software deployment.

What happened: - PTAG Inc. said on September 3, 2026, that it joined the Autodesk Service Provider Program. - The company said the move strengthens its support for major capital project owners adopting Autodesk Datum. - PTAG has formed a specialized North American Datum implementation team with technology, systems, capital project delivery, project controls, information management and digital execution expertise. - PTAG said its goal is to become the premier Datum implementation provider for large capital project owners across North America.

The details: - PTAG said successful project data platform implementation requires more than technical setup. - PTAG said large capital programs need technology that connects engineering and construction workflows, project controls, work packaging, governance and multiple organizations across the project lifecycle. - PTAG said its Digital Project Delivery team has experience working inside the data environments that support complex capital projects. - The team works with industry standards including the Capital Facilities Information Hand-Over Specification, or CFIHOS. - PTAG said CFIHOS defines facility handover requirements so asset data is usable on day one of operations. - PTAG also applies Advanced Work Packaging, or AWP. - PTAG said it uses data quality management practices to keep asset information accurate, structured and trustworthy from engineering through construction and into operations. - Jeremy Rasmussen, PTAG’s CTO and partner, said clients want better ways to manage information, make decisions and execute complex capital programs. - Rasmussen said PTAG’s value in Datum comes from project delivery experience behind the technology. - Rasmussen said PTAG’s goal is to help owners build a digital foundation that lets project teams work from trusted information and improve project performance.

Between the lines: - PTAG is linking Datum to its Advanced Project Delivery, or APD, strategy, which combines Collaborative Contracting, AWP, Lean practices, project controls, benchmarking and digital execution. - PTAG said its APD approach starts with execution architecture before any system is configured. - The company said its Digital Project Delivery framework then moves from execution architecture to PMIS and data integration, then to benchmarking and analytics, and finally to AI and emerging technology. - PTAG placed Datum in the second stage of that framework, as the platform for connecting project information after the execution model is defined. - The strategy suggests PTAG wants to sell implementation discipline and operating model change, not just platform installation.

What's next: - PTAG leaders from its Digital Project Delivery and Datum implementation teams will attend Autodesk University 2026 on September 15-17 in Las Vegas. - The team plans to meet with capital project owners, technology leaders and industry peers there. - PTAG said attendees can discuss connected data and digital platforms in major project delivery, plus implementation topics ranging from information standards and project controls to work packaging, execution and performance management. - Organizations interested in meeting PTAG at the event can contact the company or visit the registration page. - PTAG said it is an Authorized Service Provider certified to deliver Autodesk Datum advisory, implementation, configuration and adoption services. - PTAG said it is also approved to support Autodesk solutions including FORMA and Datum. - PTAG operates globally from Houston, Oakland, Portland, Maine, Toronto, Calgary and Southampton in Bruce County. - PTAG works across nuclear energy, power generation, mining and resources, oil and gas, and heavy infrastructure.

The bottom line: - PTAG is betting that capital project owners need a partner that can connect delivery methods, data standards and Autodesk’s platform into one implementation model.
