PARIS, France, Feb 18, 2025 – ARKANCE has announced the global expansion of its partnership with Bluebeam, part of the Nemetschek Group and a provider of collaboration and productivity solutions for AEC professionals.
The ARKANCE Bluebeam agreement started in 1999 in the United States. Finland joined in 2016, followed by the Australia and New Zealand regions in 2018. ARKANCE holds the Bluebeam Platinum Partner status in the Americas, Australia, and EMEA. The company has received the Bluebeam “Partner of the Year” award for two consecutive years in Australia. Beginning in early 2025, the European partnership will expand to France, Spain, and India in the Asia-Pacific region.
Pioneering open collaboration
The expanded partnership in Europe and India enriches the global ARKANCE portfolio of digital transformation solutions and services for AEC firms.
Earlier this year, ARKANCE announced the availability of its Autodesk Construction Cloud – Bluebeam Connector. This innovative solution enables open collaboration and enhanced data interoperability between the two solutions. By breaking down silos, it helps AEC professionals effectively manage projects and drive efficiency.
Driving digital transformation for the AEC sector
Bluebeam is recognized as a leader in PDF-based collaboration tools for these industries, including Bluebeam Revu and Bluebeam Cloud. The solutions streamline project collaboration, document management, and workflow automation and have a proven track record as an addition to the ARKANCE portfolio.
With more than 3 million users globally, Bluebeam simplifies team collaboration by centralizing document markups, streamlining workflows and improving communication. Its ability to reduce time and costs by digitizing processes makes it a must-have solution for the AEC industry. Curt Bramel, head of global channel sales, said, “We are extremely happy to expand our global partnership with ARKANCE. This partnership reflects our expansion strategy, particularly in France. Professionals in construction and design encounter challenges like workforce shortages, complex regulations, and obstacles to adopting new technologies. Bluebeam, by enhancing collaboration, optimizing workflows, and advancing digital processes, is uniquely positioned to tackle these issues and boost efficiency.”
With its presence in Europe and Asia-Pacific, ARKANCE will offer customers access to Bluebeam’s advanced tools, supported by hands-on expertise in technical consulting, training, and implementation services.
The planned move builds on ARKANCE’s position as a trusted global partner. By offering localized support, personalized onboarding services, and tailored training programs, ARKANCE ensures seamless integration of Bluebeam’s solutions into its customers’ workflows, helping them navigate their digital transformation journeys with greater confidence. Greg Arranz, chief executive officer, ARKANCE said, “There is huge potential for digitalization in the construction and manufacturing sectors. ARKANCE is trusted by companies of all sizes to bring out the best from their technology solutions and the teams that use them. We have a successful track record with Bluebeam in the US and Australia and we are confident that this will continue as we expand to new countries in EMEA and APAC.”
