Newforma partners with TD SYNNEX’s Datech to widen global access to AECO cloud tools
A software partnership announced on Sept. 2, 2025 will make a suite of architecture, engineering, construction and owner industry tools available through a major global distributor and its channel of resellers. The agreement immediately places the Newforma portfolio, including the cloud platform Newforma Konekt and the newly added Info Track module, into the reseller network operated by TD SYNNEX via its specialized design software arm, Datech.
What the deal does
Under the distribution arrangement, TD SYNNEX will act as an official distributor for Newforma solutions and will make those cloud-based collaboration tools available to resellers and customers across North America, Europe and the Middle East. The move is framed as expanding access to project and information management capabilities for firms working in the built environment and is effective immediately.
Products and purpose
The software platform at the center of the partnership consolidates project data — drawings, models, requests for information, submittals and contract changes — into a single system intended to reduce manual effort and streamline team communication. The platform’s core cloud offering, Newforma Konekt, is positioned as a central hub for project documents and workflows. The recently launched Info Track module is presented as a tool to centralize conversations, files, tasks and decisions so distributed and multidisciplinary teams can collaborate more easily, shorten onboarding and capture organizational knowledge.
Why it matters
By routing Newforma’s solutions through TD SYNNEX and Datech, the partnership aims to give AECO firms and resellers faster access to cloud-first collaboration software and to leverage a large channel ecosystem to scale adoption. The distributor’s reach and enablement services are expected to help resellers support customer lifecycle activities such as onboarding, expansion and renewal.
Scope and availability
The announcement states that Newforma’s suite will be sold through TD SYNNEX’s reseller network immediately, with distribution covering key regions named earlier. Newforma’s offerings are available both as on-premises solutions and as cloud-hosted services; the new channel deal emphasizes the cloud distribution path.
Company context and scale
The material describes Newforma as a long-running provider of project and information management for AECO, operating for more than 20 years and connected to millions of projects worldwide. The company reports its software has supported more than 16.3 million projects and is used by more than 4.5 million users across some 1,500 firms. Datech is identified as a specialist design software business within TD SYNNEX focused on design, digital twin and visualization solutions. TD SYNNEX is presented as a global distributor and solutions aggregator serving customers in over 100 countries.
Business implications and market view
Observers of distribution and software markets note that adding AECO-focused cloud tools can broaden a distributor’s vertical reach and give channel partners new recurring-revenue opportunities tied to digital transformation in construction and design. One commentary included with the announcement notes the partnership advances the distributor’s exposure to cloud and AI-related trends in the built environment but also cautions that the immediate financial impact on near-term demand and margins may be modest.
Practical next steps for buyers and resellers
Resellers in TD SYNNEX’s channels will be able to offer Newforma products through existing distribution channels. The announcement includes a contact reference for engaging with the distributor about Newforma solutions. Firms evaluating project information management tools can expect availability through the channel and may compare cloud-hosted Konekt and Info Track against existing document and collaboration systems.
Timing and source details
The partnership notice is dated Sept. 2, 2025 and carries a dateline of Manchester, N.H. The release reiterates that distribution via TD SYNNEX and Datech is effective immediately.
